after about fifteen minutes of sitting on her bed rocking millie back and fourth she finally spit some words out.

"finn i-im so sorry.." she says wiping her nose with the end of her sweater.

"I keep crying and i sound so dramatic-" I cut off her 100% wrong words. "millie. you aren't dramatic. you are just going through a rough time and you don't have anything to apologize for." i say rubbing her back.

she sits there and stares into my eyes. She lets out a little light laugh.

i give a confused face. "it's just - isn't funny how we only met five hours ago and your in my house comforting me." she says looking away with a smile on her face.

"yeah it's really crazy. guess it's destiny huh?" I say getting up and shoving my hands in my pockets.

"oh god, i'm such- a bad host"
she pauses with her hand on her collarbone.

"do you want anything to drink or eat?" she says gesturing me to follow her down her dark wood spiral staircase.

i have to say , her house is pretty big, not massive but way bigger then my new house and my old house combined.

"do you have any water?" i ask jumping off the last step.

"pretty sure we do wolfhard" she says with a hint of sarcasm but still in a joking matter.

40 minutes later of talking.

"oh uh shit millie i-i gotta run i was supposed to meet my dad at pop's twenty minutes ago." i say grabbing my bag off the ground.

"you sure you'll be alright here by yourself?" I say slinging the straps over my shoulders.

"finn calm down , i had a nightmare not a full on breakdown" she says walking towards her glass double doors.

"o-okay , um here is my number just incase you need me- i mean need someone or something" i say handing her a little piece of a ripped out paper corner from a notebook.

"sure thing..mom."she says being sarcastic. i scoff playfully and exit the big fancy house.

"don't forget your keys next time!"  I yell running down her driveway.

"i wont trust me!" She yells back. I wave two fingers signaling i'm leaving now.

i run into the burger joint and see my dad sitting in a booth looking down at this cup of steaming hot coffee.

i practically race over there acting like if i wasn't there in five seconds he would be gone. 

"d-dad hey , i'm sorry I was late I was with millie" He cuts me off furrowing his eyebrows.

"millie? why were you with millie?" He asks swirling his finger on the top of his mug.

"well she um had a little incident in school so i took her home and she didn't have the key so we had to climb up to her window which was luckily unlocked, she fell asleep had a nightmare so that's where i was. i'm sorry i'm late.. again." i say running out of breath from taking so fast.

"okay i'll let it slide , but next time .. i'm going to cut off your missions." he says with his head down low but staring into my soul.

"yes sir.. have you found out the missing information yet?" I ask whispering so no one would hear.

"well last week four teenage boys and girls went and robbed a forever 21 , god knows why they would rob a store like that." I nod my head telling him to go on.

"now they are coming here , to la
and police have been snooping around and found out they are coming here to rob our winery. I need you to go the charles and get the guns and bullets." He says pointing to the gun shop down in the alley where no one knows about.

"and.. make sure no one knows we do this. not your new friends , not your old friends back home. not Millie. understand? or you will pay the price and let me tell you. The price is pretty expensive. Shut your mouth and everything will go as planned. Now get out of here before people get suspicious." I get up and go out into the cold air. I sigh knowing somehow i'm gonna screw this up...
