Morning came and Leo wasn't able to get a wink of sleep. As Shane and Leo gets inside the house, Amarié and Shye is sitting at the dining table drinking coffee.
"Good morning" Leo greeted them awkwardly.
"Good morning indeed" Amarié greeted back smiling at Shane who was getting off Leo's back. Shane rolled her eyes at Amy.
Leo was smiling until his eyes met Shye's, he sat at the dining while the two girls went to the their room to prepare for the opening of the shop.
Shye's eyes worried Leo, she seem uncomfortable. "Uhmm, Shye are you okay?" Leo asked. She handed her phone to Leo, before tears fell in her eyes.
Leo read the article, "The Child Metronome is BACK!!" he realized what had happened. Not only that e-mails are bursting on to the cafe's account and on Shye's phone.
Leo stood up, "You're a senior right" he suddenly said, Shye nodded with confusion.
"Pack your bags, we're getting out of here" Leo said, "But I have schoo-" Shye was about to argue but Leo's hard to stare stopped her.
Leo also packed her bags. Shye goes to her room and also packed.
Leo came out with a duffel bag, "Where are you going?" Amarié said as she notice his bag. "I'm gonna take Shye away from those for a while" Leo stated.
"What?! Are you insane?" Amy blurted out,
"Listen Amy I know that you would understand this" Leo said, Amy just nodded after seeing the look on Shye's face as she walks out of her room.
She walks toward Shye and gave her a tight hug, "Take care, we're here for you don't forget that" she said before thinking of a way to distract the reporters on the cafe.
"We'll handle the people at the coffee shop, just keep yourself hidden" A distant voice said it was Thalia along with the other girls.
Leo smiled, "I'll call you guys later" he said before rushing downstairs while pulling Shye's hands.
Cess and Hera also goes downstairs and go near the piano, "Three, two, one GO" Hera counted down and as she signals both of them started singing.
All the reporters attention suddenly goes to them,
"Look it's the girls from yesterday" A reporter said,
"Yah, you're right" another one answered
"Take a shot of them" another one stated.
As they were distracted, Leo and Shye slipped passed the crowd and goes straight on the car.
"Leo we didn't have to do this" Shye said as tears builds up in her eyes,
Leo moves his head over hear shoulder and whispers, his words seemed to have hit her as tears started falling down.
"Trust me" Leo said before starting the car, Shye just nodded and covered her face with a cap.
No one noticed the van leaving and as they escaped the girls inside the shop sighed with relief.
The two finished singing and the crowd applaud them,
"Ma'am, were is the pianist yesterday" a guy reporter suddenly asked, but Shane replied,
"Questioning our girls isn't free" she smiled,
"One Question per Order" Amy suddenly yelled from the counter, customers suddenly flocked on the line at the cashier,
Shane smiled at Amy, "Girls its time for work" she said as she puts her apron and goes behind the counter.
Shane take the orders, Thalia and Amy were managing the kitchen while Cess and Hera are the one serving,
As they serve the drinks all the reporters have the same question, "Where is the pianist?" but both of them have the same answer.
"We don't know she was just a regular customer" that is what they say every time they asked.
The morning rush was almost over and reporters were leaving with a disappointed face, before leaving a reporter said, "We should visit this cafe often maybe we can coincidentally meet her" this encourages most reporters.
The flock of media disappeared and the other girls went to school,
"Take care girls, Thank you for your help see you later" Amy said wiping the utensils she used.
As everything settles down, Thalia was confused by the situation so she asked Shane,
"Miss Shane, why was Shye running from those reporters? It could make her famous you know" She asked curiously,
"Only Leo knows why" Amarié answered, "Yeah, let's just trust him about Shye for now" Shane added.
As they were talking a woman suddenly enters the shop, she looks sophisticated and rich. A slightly tall middle-aged woman with short hair and wears a long black dress.
"Woah, is that a reporter?" Thalia asked stunned, "I don't think so" Amy said before breathing deeply and approaching the woman.
"Good morning, welcome to Leo's Coffee Shop, How can we serve you today?" she asked politely,
Without hesitant the woman talked, "Where's Leo and my daughter?" She spoked. Thalia and Shane was surprised, "How did she know?" they whispered to each other.
"So your Shye's mother?" Amy said bluntly, "Year where is she?" she has authority in her voice.
"We don't know, but Leo took her off" Shane said,
The woman sighed with relief, "That's great" she said before sitting down,
Amarié talked with Shye's mother,
"So that's what happened, I only know one side of the story" Amarié said with sadness in her voice.
Shye's mother nodded as she sips on a hot tea. The two's coonversation lasted at least an hour before they parted.
"How rude of me, I'm Sheena Zavala" she reached out her hand to Amarié, "Amarié Maverick, Leo's acting sister" she said as she shake her hand.
After that the woman left, Shane and Thalia suddenly rans towards Amarié, "What did she say?" Shane asked.
"Nothing, she was just worried about Shye" Amarié said with sadness still reflected on her face.
Shane was about to ask another question but Thalia stopped her, "Let's prepare for the lunch rush" she said.
While the girls took care of the shop, Leo droved far and stopped by a vet clinic.
"What are we doing here?" Shye said, "Stay in the car, I just have someone to take with us" Leo said before walking outside the car and inside the veterinary clinic.
