Jade returned the smile but it was a little force, it wasn't that she didn't want to leave with her but that it meant giving up everything. What choice did they had? Their fathers had made the choice for them. Phoebe paid for their meal then took Jade's hand walking to the car. She gave her a quick kiss then went into the bank. Phoebe bypassed the tellers and went to a bank of desks across the room. She was approached by a young woman, “Can I help you?” The woman asked.
“I'm Phoebe Wyatt, I need to make a large withdraw.” Phoebe said, reaching into her pocket and pulling her ID from her wallet. The clerk looked at briefly then asked Phoebe to have a seat.
A few moments later the clerk returned with a man who invited Phoebe into his office. She sat before a large oak desk with the name plaque Jeffrey Stone, Branch Manager written on it. “How can I help you today Miss Wyatt?” He asked.
“I need to make a withdraw, $19,000.” Phoebe said, knowing that would keep her under the threshold where they would have to get authorization from her father. A couple of years ago she had tried take out money to buy a car he wouldn't let her buy saying it was unnecessary and she had to earn it first. The bank had stalled her until Lawrence came to collect her. Since then she knew to say below $20,000, sure her father would find about it but they money would be spent before he caught up with her.
“Of course Miss Wyatt.” The manager said, picking up the phone and requesting the money. He made small talk with her until the clerk came back with a envelope with the money in it. Phoebe thanked him then left the bank getting into the car and driving off.

“Show me the footage.” Harrison said, standing in the branch manager's office. Lawrence was standing behind him but not saying anything, he looked upset or rather angry. On the screen before them footage from the bank lobby appeared and they watched Phoebe walk in, speak to the clerk then was led into the office. They watched as she was given the money and then left. “Did you see her with anyone” Harrison asked.
“No, sir but we have cameras outside give me a moment to pull it up.” Jeffrey said, tapping away on the computer the view changing to outside. He queued it up to just before Phoebe entered the bank, Lawrence's car was parked right in frame and they could see Phoebe and Jade walk up to the car, kiss then Phoebe entered the bank.
“That is your car she is driving.” Harrison said, turning to Lawrence “Do I want to know how she got it?” He didn't give Lawrence a chance to respond, “And with Graystone's daughter. Find them.”
