Pyros POV
I'm watching TV. "Piper Barton is a Techno Bandit, confirmed. She was bailed out of jail by some of her friends. Could these be the other bandits? Stay tuned" the news lady said. "I failed you mom. I'm sorry" I whispered to myself. "Pyro?" Harper asked. "Huh?" I turned to look at her. "Are you ok?" She asked. I looked at the TV. "Pyro don't worry. They wont find us" she said. "Being back here is bringing back memories. Memories I don't want to think of" I said. "Its ok Pyro. I'm here for you" she said. "Do you ever think back on your life and regret your choices?" I asked, starting to cry. She wiped my tears with her thumbs. "Yes. All the time" she said. "Really? But you're so perfect" I said. She laughed slightly. "No baby. I'm not perfect" she said. She kissed my cheek. "You never did tell me about your family" I said. "Um, well, my mother was not a good person. My parents had me to save their marriage and it didn't work. In fact it just made things worse. My parents divorced when I was three. Um, my father struggled to pay rent and get food and one day, he couldn't pay. By that time I was ten and I begged my mom to let him stay with us for at least a week but all she said was 'I'll take care of it.' My dad disappeared after that and seven years later the police came to my door, asking for my mother. She had hired someone to kill him" she said. "Harper I'm so sorry" I said. "Its ok. After that I uh, I fled. My mom went to prison and I ran away. Michael found me at a gas station and I fixed his engine after it broke down" she said. "I remember that day" I said. "You do?" She asked. "Of course I do. Its the day we first met. I blew up my dads engine on accident" I said. She giggled. "It was fun fixing it and you were so jumpy. You still are" she said. "Is that bad?" I asked. "No. I like it" she said. I smiled. "Hey, don't worry about the news. Right now we have to save Griffin" she said. "Ok" I agreed. She went to walk away. "Harper?" I asked. She turned to me. "Hmm?" She asked. "If you ever want to go visit your mom, like in prison, then I'll go with you" I said. "Id appreciate that" she said.
Pitch's POV
"Why didn't you tell me you had a sister? Or that she's Hannah Dillard?" I asked. "I don't like discussing my family Pitch. Some people like to keep secrets" Hazel snapped. I was taken back. She sighed. "I'm sorry. You're right. I should have told you. I just... really don't like my family" Hazel said. "Come sit. I wanna hear" I said. We sat on the bed. "Ok, um, well my father owns a car dealership and my mother is a movie producer. Hannah and I were spoiled. We were rich and we had it all" she said. "That explains your pilots license" I said. "And boat license and horse license and drivers license" she said. I laughed. "Anyway, when I was sixteen, Hannah and I got our first acting jobs. We wanted to be actual actresses. Hannah got the lead roll in her first TV show. I didn't even get a call back" she shrugged. "What? But you're an amazing actor?" I said confused. "I didn't use to be. After that failure, my parents worshipped Hannah and tossed me aside. That's how I learned to act. I put on the act of a lifetime and pretended that I was apart of a loving family that was kind and happy together. But in reality, my mother couldn't remember my name. So I went to dad instead. He taught me to drive. Anything and everything I wanted to drive, he made sure I had a license" she said. "So what happened?" I asked. "When I turned eighteen I moved out and ran into Griffin at a bar and I guess she saw some potential in me. She brought me back and Michael recruited me" she said. "Oh I remember that day. I thought Griffin brought her girlfriend home" I said. We both laughed. "Ew no! Never again" she said. "Your family sucks" I said. "Hannah's not that bad. She can be a bitch but I still love her" she said. "I love you" I said. "I love you too. Now come here. We have to get some rest if we're gonna train those idiots to fight" she said. "We should probably teach Pyro to drive while we're at it" I said. "I got that covered. Just leave it to me" she said. "Whatever you say my love" I agreed.
