"Good," Deanna replied.

"Dea, Carly, get in here before everything's gone..." Max said as she poked her head out the door.

Carly knew that was hint that the food was almost gone and hurried to the kitchen.She hoped her mom reacted well to her having a boyfriend.

"Coming Max," Deanna said as both she and Carly headed towards the kitchen.

Eve was glad Carly and Deanna got some sandwiches and that everyone liked them. " Are you all ready for dessert?" She asked and got the peppermint brownies out.

Everyone nodded, curious as to how they would taste.

Eve got out the chocolate brownies that had pieces of peppermint in them. This was one if her favorite desserts and would gladly share the recipe.

"These are pretty good," Taylor said after taking a bite.

" Glad you like them. They were my dad's recipe. He liked to cook and think up strange but appealing combinations. "Eve said.

"Well, I'm glad you learned how to make them," Salem said, giving Eve a light kiss.

Eve blushed and gave a smile. She was happy that everyone had liked what she had made for lunch.

Alex sighed lightly, knowing that he had missed lunch today, but he knew that what he was doing was worth missing the meal. If his hunch was right, then the gym leader here knew about Mary's condition and had done nothing about it. Now all he had to do was prove it, which was he and Jean were watching, waiting for him or her to exit

Henry Davis knew eventually his "wife" would regain her real memories. But he was still being paid to keep her here. He needed to find his boss and figure out a way to get rid of the girls that had been seen with Mary.

"Are you sure we should be doing this?" Jean asked silently to her trainer as Alex nodded before seeing movement out of the corner of his eye. Before she could say anything else, Alex covered her mouth with his hand lightly as he kept quiet and watched the man from the distance and shadows.

Henry knew Mary wasn't coming back but he wasn't looking for her but her first husband. How he had survived the curse mist scientists had faced he didn't know but it was up to those remaining to pick up the pieces.

Alex kept following him as the two of them kept to the shadows. He knew that Jean didn't like doing this since it brought her dangerously close to her childhood...something that she never wanted to remember.

Henry stopped in an alleyway and waited. He hoped his contact would be on time for once.

(we give Carly and Dea's father a name? I forget...)

( it was David Richards. )

(Thanks)

David was waiting for Henry to show up with his Bishie out in the open, keeping his eyes open for anything. The problem with the location was that it made his nose next to useless.

David was glad that David was finally here. He hoped that there was a way to get Mary to forget her past again, but knew that she probably wouldn't come back since they weren't really married.

Richardson waited as his partner in crime came towards him. "You said there was a problem?" he asked.

" Your wife has her memories back. How, I don't know, but I have a feeling it's because of your daughters." David said.

"Carly and Deanna? I thought Deanna was still held captive and that Carly was being hunted by remaining members of the School," he responded.

" Apparently they aren't where you think they are. And they have quite the group with them. " David said with a grin. It wasn't a good grin and knew that they needed to do something.

"They're with that Ark trainer, aren't they? David Richards asked with a scowl. That kid had been meddling in too many things as of late.
