Cassie watched him go, her eyes hard, there was something about the way he had seemed to only have eyes for Alex that got to her.  She felt responsible for the youngster.  She glanced up as she heard the muffled sound of voices to see Mal returning with two others, carrying huge platters of food and ajug of juice and glasses.  The food was placed on the table and chairs pulled out for the three.  Cassie sat down and nodded as Mal poured the juice out.  She was still a little nervous about that Mike, but hopefully he wouldnt bother them.<br/><br/>Once Mal had left them she sighed and sat back nibbling things from the platters and thinking, "ok, so stay here or explore?" she asked, already having an idea she knew what the anwer was gonna be.  She had to admit it might be good for them to do some exploring, get them out and about and see what facilities the island had for them.
