My Sister and Protector- Home Alone

Sixteen

Kevin woke Aaron and Elena up and told them to follow him. They did to see the Pigeon Lady. "She's nice. She helped me get my foot unstuck when I went back to looking around." He says as Elena gave him a look. "I was making sure we were safe and she told me to get you two and she will take us to a warm place."

Elena nodded as she let Kevin take them to the Pigeon Lady.

"I've heard the world's great music from here." She tells them as Elena watched the orchestra. "Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, Luciano Pavarotti."

Elena looked at her as she seen Kevin feeding one of the pigeon's. "So, do you bring your friends up here?" He asked.

"I haven't got many friends."

"Oh. I'm sorry."

"We are too." Aaron tells the lady.

"I'm like the birds I care for." She tells them. "People pass me in the street, they see me, but they try to ignore me." Elena felt bad for her. "They'd prefer I wasn't part of their city."

"That's horrible." She tells her. "People today are very cruel not thinking about others who need saving."

The Pigeon Lady smiled at her. "Yeah, it's sort of like that with my family."

"Excuse me?"

"Besides my sister." Kevin tells her. "We're kind of the pigeons of the house."

Elena shook her head as Aaron tried his best not to laugh. They sat listening to her as she pointed out the truth. Everyone wants to be seen and heard. Elena understood what she was saying as she continued talking to Kevin even though they were listening to them. The more the lady spoke, she felt bad for this woman. She was afraid to love again after getting hurt the first time. She took her hand in hers as Kevin continued speaking.

Aaron walked to the window to see if those thieves were near them. "Thank you." She tells Kevin. "Do you know that it's been...a couple of years since I've talked to anybody?"

"Really?" Aaron asked as he looked at her.

She nodded. "That's okay. You're really good at it." Kevin complements her. "You're not boring. You don't mumble or spit when you talk. You should do it more often."

Shaking her head at her brother, Elena wondered where he got his way with words from. She knew it wasn't from her. "Lord, this kid." She mumbled as the lady laughed at her brother.

Aaron walked back over to them as Kevin continued speaking to her. Putting his arms around Elena, they continued listening to her speak. Elena knew one thing they had to do. Get rid of those thieves who want revenge. "Let's go."

"Bye." Elena tells her as Kevin followed them.

Kevin looked at her. "Merry Christmas." He tells her. "If you want someone to trust, it can be me. I won't forget to remember you."

"Don't make promises you can't keep." She tells him.

"Kevin?" She says. "Come on."

Walking out of the building, they looked at the view. Taking his sister's hand, the three walked away. They had to find a warm place to stay together, but as they walked together through the city, Kevin looked at the window of a building. They heard a donation ad. "You can mess with us, but you can't mess with kids on Christmas." Kevin says. "Come on."

Aaron and Elena shared a look as they ran after Kevin. They didn't know what he had planned, but Elena hopes one thing, it's to stop those thieves.

Running to their aunts apartment, the three started climbing in. Once in side, they started setting things up to stop the wet bandits once and for all.
