Saving Her

Chapter 19

Arriving to the family beach house, Mick, Ben and Lexa spots Saanvi and Fiona waiting on the patio for them. Unlocking the door, Ben allows Saanvi and Fiona to get to work while Mick and Lexa stay in the car. Watching Ben give the keys to Saanvi, so the passengers are safe in her care, Ben arrives back to the car before hopping in.

"Time for Vance's memorial." Ben whispers sadly.

Just before putting the car in drive, Mick finds herself in a blizzard with Lexa next to her – holding her hand.

Find her.

A man's voice is heard as a photo of Mick blows in the freezing, bone chilling wind.

By the time the calling ends, Mick immediately looks at Lexa who is staring at nothing until she blinks and looks back at her.

"Mommy, we have to find him." Lexa speaks up, "He's looking for you."

"Who?" Ben interrupts, "Maybe ask Cal for help and see if he can draw out what you both have seen?"

"Good idea. I'll pick you up from the memorial or where you turn up." Mick agrees.

Immediately turning the engine over, and driving off, Mick drops Ben off before heading to Cal since it's a PA Day from school.

Arriving to the house, Cal is shooting hoops in the driveway. Pulling in, Cal looks over and smiles. Immediately jogging over, Cal opens the doors for them before Mick unbuckles Lexa from her seat.

"How are you, Cal?" Lexa asks shyly as Mick helps her onto the ground.

"Good. And you two?" Cal smiles as Lexa gives him a shy half hug, which Cal returns.

"We are doing okay. We both had callings." Mick explains before Lexa picks up the basketball so he and Mick could talk. Watching Lexa get the ball in the hoop time after time, Cal and Mick locks up the car after closing the doors.

"Was it the man trapped in a blizzard?" Cal asks finally while keeping his eyes ahead on Lexa, just like Mick.

"Yes. I know it's happening out in the country, but I just need help to find a safe location to help him."

"Like a cabin?" Cal hints.

"Yes, exactly like that." Mick agrees.

"I drew of the location he's in, but it's constantly shifting. It's not set in stone." Cal sighs, "Let me get my book to show you."

"Thank you." Mick states giving Cal a hug, before he rushes inside. Calling Lexa over, she jogs over before they head inside to see Olive, Grace and some man over; talking and laughing.

"Hello." The man greets loudly pausing the laughter coming from Grace and Olive.

"Hi." Mick replies as Lexa jumps and hides behind her.

"Did you hit that little girl?" The man snaps seeing the bruises all of Lexa's face.

"No." Mick replies shortly, "Now if you'd excuse me, but we are going upstairs to see my nephew."

"How could you accuse my sister-in-law of hitting her daughter?!" Grace snaps as Mick and Lexa arrives to Cal's bedroom. Closing the door behind them, Cal offers Lexa to play with his toys while he and Mick talk more.

Showing her the map he made, Mick smiles and takes photos so if anything happens, she has copies.

"So, judging by the map you made, you had the calling as well." Mick realizes softly.

"I did, yes. I think he's connected to us, mostly you Auntie Mick." Cal points out.

"True, judging by how my photo was with him."
