Oh my god. What was I thinking? I can’t be doing reckless things anymore. What’s going to happen to Asher if they cart me off to jail?

Lisa’s mind was going as fast as her car as she sped towards Jisoo’s house. If she does go to jail she doesn’t want her nosy apartment
neighbors finding out.

“Hey Siri, please call Jisoo Kim,” Lisa says.

“I don’t see a Ballocks Organ in your contacts. Should I look for locations in that name?”

“What?” Lisa mutters confusedly. “No. Siri, call Jisoo Kim.”

There was the familiar beep of Siri. “Calling The Baddest Bitch.”

Asher gasps as the phone curses. “Ma, do you owe me three dollars or does Siri owe me three dollars?”

“Your Aunt Jisoo owes you three dollars,” Lisa says. She must’ve changed her name on her phone when she wasn’t looking. Lisa really needs to put a passcode on her phone. "Chu, I accidentally kidnapped some kids,” she rushes out the moment her best friend picks up.

“You did what?!” Jisoo screams out. “Lisa Manoban you better not be joking around.”

“Why would I joke about that?” Lisa asks, clearly offended at her implications. “My jokes are better than that!”

“No, they’re really not,” Jisoo replies.

“Are we still on for dinner?” Lisa asks as she glanced at the rear view mirror. The kids seemed okay. Riley still had red-rimmed eyes from crying, but the little one seems to be happy sitting in between Riley and Asher.

“No, not until you give those kids back,” Jisoo says.

“Too late. I’m parked in your driveway,” Lisa says as she shut her car off.

The garage door rolls opens and Jisoo stands in the middle of the two cars, hands on her hips in the best mom stance she could do complete with the mom glare. Asher runs out of the car to his godmother and threw himself at her, melting a little bit of the glare as Jisoo hugs Asher back. Lisa slinks out of the SUV and helped Riley and the little girl out of the car. The little girl clung to Lisa as they slowly walked to Jisoo. Lisa gave Jisoo a sheepish smile.

“What’s your name sweetie?” Jisoo asks the little girl who was looking at her warily.

“Eweee,” the little girl replies in the sweetest voice possible, mispronouncing the L in her name.

“Aunt Jisoo! This is Riley!” Asher introduces her. “We’re in the same class!”

“Hi Riley,” Jisoo says. “Do you happen to know your mom’s number?”

Riley shakes her head, a little forlorn. “I’m sorry. I don’t remember.”

Jisoo gives her a sweet smile. “It’s okay sweetie. Why don’t you go inside with Asher. The Wii U is all set up for you guys.”

“Sweet!” Asher says as he grabs Riley by the hand to drag her inside.

Riley roots her feet to the spot. “I don’t wanna leave Ellie.” Riley and Asher turn to Lisa, who let the little girl down. “Wanna play with us, Elle?” Ellie nods and grabs her sister’s hand.

They disappear inside the house and Lisa feels the hairs on the nape of her neck as Jisoo whirls around to face her.

“Lisa Manoban!” Jisoo says in a low voice, glaring at her. “I cannot believe you would kidnap two children.”

“Jisoo,” Lisa whines. “You don’t understand! Their bitch of a nanny was going to hit Riley. I couldn’t stand by there and do nothing, Chu!”

Jisoo sighs in defeat. Of course Lisa would come riding in like a knight in shining armor. She doesn’t expect anything less from her best friend. “If the police comes knocking, I’m throwing you under the bus and keeping Asher for myself.”
