I guess it was the start of Aliona's  holiday, because I got a call from her.

"Kirsty?"

"Yeah, why are you whispering?"

"Look, long story. I'll tell you if you come to pick me up in the van."

"What?!? Where are you?"

"Home, just outside of Salisbury."

"Salisbury! I.. Ok... Wait three or four hours."

"Can you make it two?" Aliona asked.

"I'm not going to run the risk of being pulled over for speeding. See you in three or four hours." I hung up, and found Seb.

"I've gotta go to Aliona's aid, I'm taking the van, ok?" I picked up the keys.

"Fine. Don't get caught." Seb said. "Leave me the keys to the landrover."

Seb and his beloved ex- military landrover..

I threw them at him, and he caught them. "You should be fine for petrol."

I nodded, and left.

It took me three hours until the moment when I pulled off the motorway. It took me another half an hour to find Aliona's house, which was just out of Salisbury. It was ginormous, and had its own gatehouse.

Aliona was waiting, leaning against the wall. There was a pile of stuff next to her.
As soon as I stopped, she opened up the back of the van, and looked with distaste at the empty gun racks.

"You didn't bring anything for me to shoot them with?" she groaned. "Help me shift this stuff."

"Er.. Ok.." I muttered.

"Shoot!" She muttered. "I forgot one box. Stay here." she said to me, before creeping back into the house.

She soon emerged carrying a heavy looking box. "What in hell do you have in here?" I asked, taking it from her.

"Books, throwing knives, cigarettes, everything my parents shouldn't find."

"Ok." I said, slamming the door of the van shut.
"So, what happened?" I asked, once we were safely back on the motorway.

"I wanted to stay with Jim this summer, but because of the whole secret he's back thing I said I wanted to stay with you and Seb. They argued that I shouldn't, so I asked why, they said that you two weren't family and how could they trust you to not kidnap me or something? I said that Jim and Seb were as good as married,.. and that was my mistake. Cue for anti gay rant. I... I kinda shouted at them that they shouldn't have a problem with it as their own daughter was gay, and then... Anyway, I've decided to leave those bastards behind. They're not my family anymore."

"You were disowned?" I asked.

"Yeah. No matter, I can now stay with you and Seb and Jim forever now!" she grinned.

"Welcome to the family, Aliona Moriarty." I smiled. "You want to stop at the services?"

"Yeah! There's a burger king." She smiled.

Anddd... My regular updating system is going out the window... Sorry guys.
