Steph and Alex sat in a restaurant. Alex had planned a date for today at one of their favourite restaurants

    Steph stretched her hands to the other side of the bed and then she realized there was no one there. She sat upright on the bed, rubbing her eyes with her fingers.

    Alex walked back into the living room where Steph and Mia was."What's going on?" Steph asked, looking up at Alex.Alex sat next to Steph on the chair."The police have already gotten to where Frank and Mia are," he explained.Steph sighed."That's a sign of relief at least.""What they did is crazy, I don't know why Frank would do that to me. He is supposed to be my best friend," Alex said. He was really pained and had expected so much more from his friend."I can't believe Oliver too. Is the police going to get him too? Steph asked.Even after all the terrible things he did. She still cared for him. "We don't have enough evidence on him yet so it's only if Frank and Luna drag him along with them," he explained."First, she lied about being pregnant and all and now this? I can't believe that both of them would do such to me. That's really desperate," he added."What did Leslie say about Isabella? Will you two be able to get her back?"
