Little Miss Perfect (Daughter of Jemily)

chapter eight

Two weeks later...

Little Miss Perfect's break was over. Awake at 6am. Downstairs in the kitchen waiting for my mom's to bring me to the office so I can attend my summer class. I had taken two weeks off from all work to really focus on my family and friends.

Though Alex was still living with us, she had her freedom and was staying in the guest room during her recovery. Her parents came down to see her after the kidnapping but left less than 24 hours later because of work. It really hit her hard. 

"AH! Oh my goodness! Ella Rose! You scared me!" Mom said as she turned the corner in the kitchen.

"Sorry mom. I was just a bit zoned out." She came over and kissed my forehead before starting the coffee maker.

Soon enough, footsteps were heard coming down the stairs.

"Good morning my girls." Mama said as she went over and kissed mom.

"Good morning." Mom said sounding way too happy for 7am.

"Morning Mama." I got up to hug her before running upstairs to grab my backpack and charging cords. I peeked into the guest room to see Alex still asleep, I quietly closed the door and ran downstairs to see my moms already walking out the door.

"Let's go, let's go!" Mama said grabbing her set of keys.

"One sec!" I grabbed a sticky note from the kitchen drawer and a marker and wrote in big letters.

LEFT YOU FRUIT IN THE FRIDGE AND THERE ARE MICROWAVE PANCAKES! TEXT ME WHEN YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE
-XOXO, BELLE

I smiled down at the note before running out the door and getting in the car.

When we got to the office it seemed really quiet. Almost too quiet. I looked around to see that no one was really around. 

"They are waiting for us downtown. Have Alex pick you up after your class and text us whatever your plans are." Mama said with a half smile.

"Ok! Have a good day! Be safe!" I said walking into the conference room.

ALEX
me: hey, moms are working downtown, can you pick me up at like 12?

I put my phone down and opened my laptop to sign in my class. I had been keeping up with all the work, just haven't really worked on the big project.

11am...

ALEX
me: hey, moms are working downtown, can you pick me up at like 12?
alex: gm, ofc
me: ty lex

Class ended early but Alex was hanging out with Jake until she had to pick me up at 12 so I wandered into Aunt Penelope's office.

"Ella Bella what can I do for you honey?" She said spinning her chair around.

"Hi! Nothing I just finished class earlier than I can get picked up."

"No no that is pretty suckish. You are welcomed to join me in here-" She got cut off my her phone ringing.

"Ah it is your mother."

"Hello Miss Emily Prentiss, this is your favorite technical genius and your daughter!" 

"Hey Garcia. Hi Ella. We need you to do a background check on this guy. Lucas Smith. Birthdate 9/17/1982."

"Will hit you back with everything I find at lightning speed."

"Thank you Penelope."

"Of course my love." She hung up her phone with her pen and spun back around. I have really never seen anyone type that fast.
