" That's my little sister," Amber buried her head in her hands "I had to leave her so she wouldn't get hurt and I left her with some of our friends about five years ago." Katherine looked down at the vehicle and started to grin. " I think I have an idea." Amber looked at her and grabbed her ipod and texted Melinda. Tell him that we are on our way to L.A. and in exchange for our location we get my little sister. She smiled as she sent her grandma the text. They listened very closely to the conversation and finally he agreed to give Amber's little sister to Melinda. Melinda walked out and checked out the little girl making sure there were no tracking devices. " Thank you for their location,do whatever you want with the brat." the man said and hopped in his truck and drove off. " We got my little sister back," Amber gave Katherine a hug " you're a genius." Melinda walked to the door and unlocked it and the girls removed the boards and walked upstairs. "Please don't hurt me." the little girl stuttered. Amber looked at her little sister " Are you okay, Lela," she gave a soft smile " It's me your big sister, Amber." The little girl looked at Amber as she pulled out a picture of her and Lela the day before she left. "Sissy!" Lela ran into Amber's arms. " It's okay i'm here now, you don't need to be scared." Amber said as she smiled at her little sister. Melinda and Katherine looked at the two girls who were now talking and trying to make up for years of not seeing one another. " Lets all go get something to eat," Melinda looked at the girls " I'll make mac' and cheese with ham sandwiches." The girls all looked at each other and bolted down the stairs. When they came to the end of the stairs they ran across the hallway into the dining room incase somebody came looking for them. " So, who was that guy that brought Lela," Katherine asked as Melinda was getting the bread out.
" That was Sarah's soldier from back home." Melinda explained everything about the dividing between good and evil soldiers and who they worked for. Melinda walked over and put a pot of mac' and cheese on the table as well as the sandwiches. " I can't get up into my chair!" Lela looked at Amber " can you help me?" Amber picked Lela up and placed her in the chair. Katherine walked over and got plates for everyone. " Thank you for helping us out and getting Lela back Grandma." Amber said with a smile. All of a sudden there was a loud banging at the door. Amber grabbed Lela and Katherine and walked to the laundry room, she moved some towels and blankets. " Get under here and stay under here, I'm going to go with Melinda." Katherine stated and looked at Amber and Lela hoping they would get what she was trying to do. " Ok, we will be careful and be cautious of what you say." Amber said and threw the blanket over their heads. The sound of gunshots was heard as clear as day in the laundry room, suddenly somebody walked into the room. Amber and Lela looked at each other and gave each other the look of goodbye. The figure moved closer towards the two girls and then walked out and shut the door. " Nobody in there." Then, another figure opened the door and walked around and started kicking stuff. " I guarantee they're in here they have to be, I can't leave without them especially not my Amber." Suddenly Lela got kicked and let out a screech. " Close the door." somebody yelled. The blanket was ripped off of the two girls as they started kicking and screaming. " Just take me leave my little sister alone," Amber screamed as she kicked the two guys straight in the gut"LELA RUN." Lela dashed through the two guys legs but didn't make it to the door. " Amber settle down it's just me." The oldest of the guys said. " Who are you?" Amber yelled. The two guys pulled off their mask and revealed faces. " Brady..." Amber looked at him " What do you want?" Brady looked at her, " I haven't seen you in a long time."
"That's not what I asked." Amber stated trying to get her point across. " I'm here to protect you," Brady whispered as he stepped back looking at Amber, whom he hadn't seen since the eighth grade. The younger kid took his mask off, " I haven't seen you in awhile either." he looked at Amber who looked like she had just seen a ghost. "Zach!" Amber could barely talk, " I thought you were dead..."
Brady grabbed Amber's hand and helped her up. " I thought you would be gone forever." Amber looked at Lela who was sitting on the floor wrapped up in a blanket half asleep. "HEY, Amber, Lela you guys okay?" Katherine and Melinda yelled. " We're fine come get Lela, I need to catch up with Zach and Brady." Amber shouted.
