"Hey Babs, can you do Lily and I a favor?"

"Sure, depends what this 'favor' is though."

"Oh goodie! So we have quite the dilemma over here. Lily's friend has asked her over for a sleepover."

"Well...."

"Well, problem is that said 'friend' has over-protective parents and wants to meet Lily's parents. But, I'll get sent off if they see me. So, the favor I'm asking for is that if you would be willing to be Lily's guardian when the parents come meet her?"

"Sure, I know how much this would mean to her."

"Oh, thanks Babs!"

"Hello! You must be Ms. Rogers, correct?" Ecco said to Barbara when she entered Barbara's club. "Indeed I am. You must be Mrs. Wilde?" "Indeed I am. So you're Lily's mother?" "Adoptive mother yes. Her mother died during child birth." Lily's real mother, Nova, died during child birth. Jerome and Nova had Lily young, but Jerome and Nova were very happy with one another. "Oh, I see. Where's her father?" Lily looked down, a frown upon her face at the mention of her father. Lily would have loved for her father to do regular things like going to fairs and such, but because of the fear of getting caught, they couldn't. "Um...about that, we don't mention it. Her father was been very ill recently, lung cancer they say." Ecco nodded feeling bad for the poor girl in front of her, even though what she is hearing are little white lies. "Sorry Lily, I hope he gets better." Ecco and Lily smiled at one another. 

"Well, I'd just like to know if she has any allergies, medications, or any sorts of special needs we should be aware of." Lily smiled knowing that now she'll be able to go. "Yes, she does. Lily has asthma and a box-wood bush allergy, and also a bee allergy. Her puffer and epi-pens are both in her fanny pack she's wearing right now. She also has medications for anxiety, ADHD, and her seizures. She takes them in the mornings, but she takes her seizure pills again at 5 but the latest she can go to is 7. I also put medications in her bag, and she has Achilles tendinitis issues, so I put her boots for them in her bag as well. And, here's my number incase of an emergency." Ecco nodded, understanding the fact that the child before her is a special needs child. "I understand, thank you. If you don't mind, she can come now for it." Lily smiled, running off to collect her bags. "Yes, and thank you for having her over." "Oh, no problem."

 Lily came back with four bags. "Ok...I'm ready!" Both adults chuckled at the girl, before Ecco helped Lily to the car.

As Ecco is driving towards the bunker, she looks in the mirror to find Lily looking fascinated by the sites passing by through her window. "You like the view?" Ecco said attempting to make small talk. "Yes, I really do! Daddy use to take me out everyday to look around at old buildings and then we would make up stories as to why they were abandoned." Lily said turning towards Ecco as she talks. "Interesting, why don't you do it anymore?" Ecco asked, still thinking that the father would find someway to take her. "Well, Daddy can't move around anymore, not without getting hurt." Ecco's face softened at her words, she really was having it rough. "Well how about this, after dinner, we can all go for a walk around our homes forest and make new stories for you to tell your dad?" Lily's face lightened up at Ecco's words, almost as a kid being able to buy everything at a store. "Really?", "Really." And they continued their drive.

Ecco  entered the bunker through the garage to avoid confusing Lily too much. You see, the bunker and garage are attached to an ordinary house underground, which they live in. By the exit of the maze, their is another path which leads into the house. This garage leads completely, and only, to the house.
