Jakes P.O.V:
"Maggie?" I called out for my sister. "Do you know where my new
sunglasses are?"
"No!" She yelled back from downstairs.
"Shit."
Michael was going to arrive any minute. We had a lunch reservation at a
restaurant and I was going to make us late for sure. After coming back
from boot camp that I needed to attend in order to get ready for a movie
I could use the small amount f time off. I'm just worrying about
nothing, I mean they're sunglasses but I wasn't about to stop looking.
Those things cost a fortune. The doorbell rang shortly after and Maggie
went to answer. I knew who it was, of course. It was Mike coming to pick
me up.
"Oh, hey Mike. How are you?" I heard Maggie say.
"Good, is your brother ready?"
"I think so, I think he's nothing for his sunglasses thought."
"Jake!" Mike yelled. "Lets go. We're gonna be late!"
My treasure hunt had to come to an end. I walked down to the front door
and greeted Mike. "Hey Mike, how are you, man?"
"Good. We better get going though." He said. He and I went out and
headed for his car. I was about to get into the passenger side when I
heard Maggie calling my name. I turned and saw her rushing towards us
with my sunglasses in her hands.
"You found them?" I asked with excitement.
"They were by the door where you last left them." I took the shades
from her and gave her a thank you kiss on the cheek.
"I'll see you later!" I yelled out of the car as Mike and I drove away
from the two story house.

Damn L.A. traffic. I swear, if you ever make it on to where ever it is
your going, it'll be a miracle.
"What are you listening to?" I asked Mike while I reached over to his
side of the car, where the radio dials were.
"what are you doing? Eh?" He tried to slap my hand away from the scan
button but I was too quick for him. There was hardly anything good on
except when I heard the words "...it's a beautiful day" being sung by
the amazing man simply known as Bono. I love U2. They are just so
amazing. The things they get involved in and all the positive stuff they
say in their music. So, of course, I had to sing along. I'm not the BEST
singer in the world but I like to think of myself as the Elvis of my day.
Okay, well maybe that's stretching the truth a little... or a lot but I
like to think I have a decent singing voice. Maggie tells me differently
at every chance she gets.
We drove up to the restaurant and got out of the car so it can be valet.
After handing the keys away to a man in a red velvet vest, Mike and I
walked into the waiting area of the place. Not many people waiting
though. We got the front of the line and a waiter came up to the small
booth in front of us. He looked fairly young, about 19 or 20 years old.
Mike let him know that we had a reservation and he showed us to our table
quickly after. The place was nice. I had never been there so it was all
new to me. We sat down and were handed some menus to look through.
Everything was so fancy and mature. Don't get me wrong, every once in a
while I like to eat at a good restaurant but I would take home cooking
over this any day. I looked at our waiters name tag to find see that his
name was Christian.
"And you sir?" Christian looked over at me with his pencil and notebook
in hand.
"You can call me Jake." I told him. He actually looked into my eyes and
not shy'd away like others would because they think you're untouchable.
"Okay, Mr. Jake." He replied.
"No, just Jake."
"Sorry... Jake. What will you have?"
"Can I just get a mineral water?"
"Sure. Ill be right back to take your food order."
"Thank you." Mike and I said at the same time. Our waiter left and we
looked at the menus to see what we were going to have. Of course,
everything was very pricey. Later on, the waiter returned and took our
main orders.
"Here's one coke and one mineral water. Are you ready with your
choice?" The waiter asked.
"Yeah, I'm gonna have the white pasta with chicken." Mike told him. He
rapidly took the order down on his small order notepad.
"Good choice. And you Si... I mean Jake." He turned his attention to me.
Still, he made eye contact.
"I'll just take a green spinach salad, thanks."
"Okay, ill be right back with your orders."
The meal was great. I was sure as hell stuffed. I felt like I needed to
open up the first button on my pants. Mike sat back in his chair and
sighed.
"That was so good." He said.
"It was great. I haven't eaten a good meal since I had to go to that
boot camp."
"Really? How was it there?" Mike asked.
"It was hell, fucking insane. The drill instructors were on top of
everything that went on. They were, like, seriously in charge."
"Yeah? They whoop your pampered ass into shape?"
"Oh yeah." We both laughed.
After eating and talking for a little while after, we thought that it was
time to go so Mike called for the check. I didn't want to him to pay the
entire thing so I asked to half it. Surprisingly, it wasn't that much at
all, we each paid around 63-64 dollars.
"Shit, we have to go, like, now." Mike said after he looked down at his
watch.
I took my things off the table and left a small tip on the table then we
went over to pick up his car from valet.

The drive home was short, traffic had died down, thank God. Mike dropped
me off and we said our goodbyes. Maggie was on the phone with her
boyfriend Peter when I walked into the house. She sat in the kitchen
table happily talking to the phone receiver.
"Oh, Jake. Mom said to call her as soon as you got home. Its urgent."
Maggie said while she put her hand over the phones mouthpiece.
"Okay." Its amazing because even though Maggie and I are older now, we
still get told by our mother to call her and let her know how things are
going. That's a mom for you, right? I went up to my room to put my
jacket away and reached down to get my phone out of my pocket.
"Holy..." My hand felt nothing. No phone. I felt around my other pockets
then checked my jacket but there was nothing in them either. I started to
panic then I remembered that I had placed it on the table while we were
having lunch. I must have forgotten it. "Oh no." I told myself. I ran
down the stairs and told Maggie what happened.
"Are you serious?" She asked.
"Yeah, I think I left it there."
"Did you check your pockets?"
"Yeah, I already did that." I said.
"Maybe you left it in Mikes car."
"Yeah, maybe I did. I picked up the house phone and quickly dialed Mikes
cell phone number. "Hey Mike? Its Jake. Hey, did I leave my phone in
your car?"
"No, I don't see it. Hold on."
I waited while he looked around. I hoped it was in his car. I imagined
him telling me that it fell out of my pocket and onto the car floor but
no such luck.
"Nope, its not here. Did you lose it?"
"Yeah, I think I might have left it at the restaurant."
"Oh man. You better call to disconnect it or something." He said.
"I know. I'm gonna make sure I didn't bring it with me first."
"Okay, well call me if you need anything."
"Cool, thanks. Bye."
After hanging up, I ran up to my room and looked in my jacket again.
Nothing. I called my cell from the house phone and waited to see if I
could hear the ring tone. Nothing. I must have called a few more times
and on the last call, I got a answer.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hello?" The man on the other end replied.
