Lost (Paul Lahote story)

Fashion Week

" Hunter head pack home and phase back. We're leaving soon."

"Wait, I can't. I phased in my clothes." He whined, which was annoying having to hear that in my head over and over again.

"Idiot." I muttered knowing he couldn't hear because I was blocking my thoughts. "Just, just hold on, I'll get some for you."

As soon as I brought him clothes, I told him to shower and pack a bag because I wasn't sure how long it would take to get where we're going.

"Where are you going?" Both Hunter and I turned to see Jeremiah upset.

"We're going to Houston to pick up Sophia."

"Sophia?" Jeremiah laughed. "There's no way Mama Mia would even let you walk out of the loft with out her."

"We'll see about that." Was all Hunter answered walking out knowing he had to stay away from him under my order since he was still new. It was a big risk taking him with only a day of training.

"Hey, we'll be back. Sophie's coming home." I assured him with a smile.

I knew Jeremiah was hurt, his brother cut school yesterday and came home to find him asleep, and then when he tried to wake him up for diner he wasn't in bed anymore. He was nowhere to be found along with Lillian.

Nina and Paul even said they didn't know where we were at, but he knew they were lying. And now we're leaving on a Tuesday morning, on a school day, to Houston with out him. He's hurt.

"So Houston?" I asked confused once we were in the road. "I thought you lived in California?"

"We did, then we moved to New York. That's where I met Mia, but she was only visiting. So when we found out she was pregnant, I tried to convince her to stay, but she chose to leave. She said she had a reputation."

I scoffed. "What reputation?"

"Being daddy's princess. She couldn't date a poor guy. So when she told her father, they lied to the press, letting the people of town know that they're not snobby rich people. That they do interact with others."

"Well, that's exactly what they are!...Do you know if she's there. I mean what if she chose to move or is doing something for the summer. Wealthy people do that a lot."

"Let me text her." Hunter quickly pulled out his cellphone and texted her. "Apparently she's at The Hamptons, and is willing to let me visit Soph."

"Well, Hamptons, here we come. Wait, Isn't it Fashion week in New York? For the new Fall Collection? Search it." I yelled excitedly.

"Lets see.... Yepp. Here it is. It's starts the day after tomorrow. In New York, New York."

"Well, I have an idea. Let's just say, your mother happens to be a famous fashion designer."

"Your not serious?"

"What? We need to blend in and, it will just show that she made a mistake not accepting you, I mean you obviously went through a change since you just phased."

You know what...Your right! I'm going to make her regret what she did and take my daughter. So what's the plan?"

"Well first I'm going to call my sister and have her meet us there. Give us a whole new look. Then your going to text her to meet us there at the event. I'm going to compel a designer to give me their collection, and obviously present it."

"So, then she's going to try to get on our good side?"

"Exactly, but we won't let her. She's a conniving snake. So... now I just have to drive much faster and call A-" but Lillian was cut off to the phone ringing.
