Zane was still fuming. Taking the turns on the mountains a little too sharp, a little too fast, he thought about the fight he had with his parents before he left for the cabin to meet up with his friends. His father completely disliked the people who had become his friends in college. They were beneath him, his father said. It was bad enough Zane didn't go to pops Alma mater, but ivy league schools were way too pretentious for Zane. In the "BigView" of things they didn't matter to him, and he didn't really think they meant a positive thing to the world. Sure, a top 5 college would give him clout and power to make a change in the world, but he was afraid that by the time he left the school it would change him. Anyways, schools like Harvard or Yale had shit for Social Services Studies. He still thought about that and laughed.
His father normally didn't even know what Zane did with his free time. But the cabin his father owned for his "yearly business partners hunting trip" was hard to use without his father knowing. A care taker came out every month or so, and Zane wasn't sure if the guy would show up and ruin a good time. The caretaker he knew normally went armed with a hunting rifle that seemed a mile long. And the caretaker was his father man. Loyal to a fault because of the money pops through at him. So Zane asked his father permission, and pops of course denied him. And that's when his father started in on him about his friends. About Marco, and Emily, and the rest. Zane began screaming at his father, and of course Moms just sat there, with her head slightly turned away, and not a peep out of her socialite, xanax chewing, pool boy loving mouth. Finally pops "gave in", but with a stipulation. He wanted to introduce Zane to some "Very Important People", blah, and if Zane agreed, he could have the cabin for the week. Reluctantly Zane thought of people with dollar signs in their eyes, smoking cigars, and asking him about his future. When your father was the CEO of a major corporation, people assumed just because you carried his name, you would become the same kinda money hungry, selfish slime. But Zane really wanted this time with his friends before the end of college. It was important to Zane because he wanted to give something back to the people who had given him something that he couldn't really find in his fathers world. True friendship. And he wanted to give them something new to experience. Spelunking. There was truly nothing more opposite of his fathers world then becoming lower than the low (Hehe), underground, and dirty and filthy as you could possible be. In truth, cave exploring always made Zane feel more free, more safe when he was in the bones of the earth. Closer to something real.
It took a minute for Zane to find the gravel drive way to the cabin and he drove in. Emily's car was parked there, and that was good, and he was wondering when everyone else would get there. He saw just a bit of smoke curling from a slightly opened window and jokingly thought to himself that you could normally see Emily first from the Indian smoke signals that she let off. He pulled his Hummer up to the door, put on the emergency brake, and hopped out. Then it occurred to him that some how Emily had gotten in, but Zane and the caretaker were the only people with keys to the cabin. Hmmm, strange. He turned the door knob, and indeed it was unlocked. Zane saw Emily sitting at the table, cigarette between two fingers, and with a warm smile says " Hi Em! Give me a hug!!!"
