It all starts on a rainy day. Naomi Lyon sat in her room, Star Wars playing on the tv. Darth Vader was just about to throw Palpatine over the railing when the doorbell rang. She huffed in annoyance, pausing her movie. When she opened the door she was greeted by two police officers and instantly knew something was wrong.
"Uh hello..." Naomi said.
"Hello, Naomi right?"
She nodded. Something was wrong...
"We regret to inform you that your parents are in the hospital. They were in a car acc-"
She stopped listening after that. Her mind was spiraling, thinking of the very worst. Were they in critical condition? ...were they dead already and she just didn't know it?
Naomi finally looked at them, hiding back tears. She needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible and see them.
"Are you here to take me to the hospital?"
One of them shook their head.
"We discovered your mother used to be involved in an organization known as the-"
Naomi frowned, they weren't taking her to her parents. So she would just do it herself. As soon as one of the officers stepped away from the doorway she ran, ignoring their shouts as she ran down the street. The girl briefly hid behind a bush as the cars zoomed by, coming back out once the coast was clear. Then she kept on running towards the Spector household. They wouldn't find her there, right? She finally arrived after what seemed like forever and knocked.
"Marc, can you get the door please?" Elias asked from the other side.
There was a noise followed by the door opening. Then Marc was standing there looking at her with a worried expression on his face.
"Naomi? What's wr-"
She rushed forwards and wrapped her arms around him. Then finally she let it all out, burying her face into his shoulder and sobbing. She was vaguely aware of Marc guiding her to sit down on the couch, but never letting go. Naomi also heard Elias at one point heading up the stairs to leave them alone.
After she calmed down, Naomi slowly looked up. Before she could do it herself Marc reached up and wiped the tears out of her eyes. She smiled at him in thanks, taking a moment to breathe.
"My parents are in the hospital. Car accident, and...they wouldn't take me to see them. I have to go see them, Marc. But I don't know how to get there fast enough."
She would walk miles and miles if she had to though. Nothing would stop her from going to see her parents.
"I don't know either but I'm coming with you okay? I won't leave you."
Naomi breathed out a small sigh of relief. She didn't want to go alone. "Thank you, thank you. I...should go home and get some stuff probably. Oh!!!"
