The Alpha Omega.

PHC.

We pull in to the driveway, then I shut the car off and step out.

"You good?"
Jake says, as we walk in the backdoor.

"Yeah, how about you?"
I say and step inside, then close it as he does.

"Yeah, I'm good."
He says and walks to the kitchen.

"Good, I'm gonna go get Rachel and Haley."
I say and go to walk out to the living room.

"I'm right here."
Rachel says, then appears.

"Oh shit... I'm still not used to that."
I say and laugh.

"Why'd you guys leave me behind?"
She says, with her hands on her hips.

"Because you're just so cute when you sleep."
I tease and laugh.

"Shut up, dick."
She says and laughs.

"You needed the rest, and Jake needed training."
I say and open my backpack, then pull out the cinnamon and coffee candy. Before, pulling out six cokes for us.
"Two apiece and I call the coffee candy."
I say and turn around.

"CANDY!"
Both of them say, then jump forward and open a cinnamon circle.

I laugh and walk to the living room, before heading up the steps. I turn left and walk down the hall, before knocking on the door.

"Yeah?"
I hear Haley's voice.

"Can I come in?"
I ask and put my hand on the knob.

"Yeah."
I hear her yell.

I open the door and walk inside the room, then look around for Haley.

"Back here."
She says from what looks like a blanket fort.

I walk up to it, then grab a corner and look under.
"Haley?"

"Yeah, I wanted a fort so I built one to sleep in."
She says and laughs slightly.

"That'll work."
I say and laugh back, before handing her the bag.
"I got a bunch of everything and some Cokes."

"Some of the girls don't drink Cokes. They say that they wanna watch their weight."
She says and laughs, as she takes a gulp of hers.

"I'll take care of it."
I say and turn around.
"Hey."
I say and watch as they all turn my direction.
"You guys need to drink these Cokes... They could be last one you ever have."
I says and look at them.

They all look at each other, then nod in agreement and come get them.

"Damn... I've been trying to make them loosen up for months."
She says and laughs again, as she eats a truffle.

"I guess it's just a gift."
I laugh and look at her.
"We have to start your training. I want you to calm them down, then in an hour meet me downstairs."
I say and look at her.

"Yes sir."
She says and smiles.

I smile and turn around, then walk downstairs.
I go into the living room, before laying back on the couch.

"You good Boss?"
Jake asks, then plops down on the love seat.

"Yeah, I'm good."
I close my eyes for a second, before hearing Haley's voice.

"Hey...... River?"
She says and steps downstairs.

"Yeah?"
I open my eyes and look at her.

"Can we practice now?"
She asks and shuffles her feet.

"No problem."
I say and stand up.

"Where are we going?"
She asks and stands there.

"PHC."
I say and pull on my belt, before checking my pistol.
