Chapter 7
Ender's POV
"So, What did Del talk to you about?" I asked Ali
She shook her head at me, "It was nothing. She wanted to know who was moving in across from me."
I looked at her, "Who is moving in?"
She got up and walked over to where I was standing, "Salem, she's moving back to Central City."
"That makes more sense, Del's jealous. You think she'll move back just so Salem doesn't take Bilbo from her?" I asked
Aliana slapped my arm, "Brisket with Briska is not happening on my watch."
The doorbell rang and Aliana got up to answer it. Charley smiled and walked in at Ali's gesture.
He looked at Ali, "I hope you two know you are being rather loud. I heard that whole conversation just from outside the front door. My opinion is that you can keep saying Brisket with Briska will not happen, but Brisket with Briska is the best thing that will ever happen to Bilbo and Salem."
She gave him a look, "I knew you were a Brisket with Briska fan, but I didn't know you were so intent on fixing them up. Now that I think about it, Salem mentioned someone calling her and telling her to come and move back. Was that you?"
I shook my head, "I was in the past, remember?"
She still looked at me suspiciously.
"I guess we will have to ask her ourselves." I said
Aliana sighed, "I guess so."

Aliana, Charley, and I stood on Salem's new doorstep, waiting for her to answer. It took her a while, but she finally did manage to open the door. She smiled kindly at us.
"Hey guys, what's up?"
"We have a few questions." Aliana answered
"Oh? What are they?" she asked
"You told me that someone called you and told you to come here, right?" She asked
Salem nodded, "Yea, why?"
"Did you recognize the voice?" Charley asked
Salem looked at him, "I..no. I didn't. I don't know who called me that day. Do you think someone's trying to bring the team back together?"
"That's what we're thinking." I answered
"Why would they want us to be in one place? It does not make any sense." Charley said and started to pace
"Maybe they wanted to hit us all at once. Let's face it, if they are our enemy, they might want to get rid of us all at once. What a better way to do that, than get us all in one place." Aliana said
I sighed, "Maybe we need to do some investigating. Charley are you in?"
Charley gave me a smile, "Of course! Aliana?"
She shook her head and gave us an apologetic smile, "I'm already working on a case."
Charley and I nodded our heads in understanding.
"Well, we better let you get to moving in." Aliana said
"It was great to see you guys." Salem said and shut the door.
"I'm going to look around the city. I will see you guys later." Charley said and ran off.
Aliana smiled at me, "I have to get to S.T.A.R. Labs. I need to see if I can use the technology in the lab to help me find out the man behind the murder case i'm trying to solve."
I smiled back at her, "Alright, I'll be in the C.C.P.D. Lab if you need me."
She headed off and I walked towards the lab, ready to tell everyone I was back for good.
