CHAPTER SIXTEEN

❝ no one can make us quit before we're done ❞

•••

Sophie was a woman on a mission. She knew what she needed to do and she was going to do it no matter what. She had places to be and people to see.

She walked out of her room and down the hall to the elevators, stopping to wait for one. When one opened she smiled at Charlie who was in it.

"Where you heading?" Charlie as he stepped out of the elevator.

"To find that kid I was telling you about. Care to join me?" Sophie asked as she stepped into the lift.

"Let's go," Charlie smiled as he followed the girl.

The two left the building and began walking down the streets of Los Angeles. They knew who they needed to find. It was just a matter of figuring out who he was and where he spent his time.

After about an hour of walking around the two decided to take a short break and leaned against one of the buildings. Charlie and Sophie caught their breath after walking for an hour straight.

"You're the one who yelled at me at the hockey game, aren't you?"

Sophie turned around at the sound of the voice. She smiled at the boy before nodding. She didn't need to find who she was looking for because they found her.

"I've actually been looking for you," Sophie spoke as she walked up to the boy.

"Well here I am. What do you need?"

Once Charlie and Sophie finished up their talk with the kid they were talking to, the pair began to walk back to their rooms where they would gather the team. From there they would tell them to change before heading to the track field where they would wait for their special guest.

Sophie walked into her room and saw both Julie and Connie. She smiled at the two other girls before explaining that they were heading out to practice. The two nodded before turning to their clothes while Sophie left to tell the rest of the team.

"Banksie my dear get ready. We're practicing soon. Make sure to bring your rollerblades and your hockey stuff. It's happening," Sophie said as she passed the boy in the hallway.

The blonde gave the girl a thumbs up before walking into his room. Sophie sighed as she walked to her own room and changed quickly and grabbed her things. She met Charlie along with the rest of the team at the elevators and waited. They split into three groups so that the elevator wasn't too crowded.

Once they were all in the lobby, Charlie and Sophie began to lead the team towards the track field. Everyone was talking amongst themselves as Charlie looked over at the girl out of the corner of his eye.
