How Rhett Handles It

Rhett's POV

As soon as I got the call on my phone, I pulled Jessie aside to talk to her. "Jess, we need to talk..." She was in the middle of mixing pieces of bacon and cheese in with meat for some burgers. "What do you mean?" "I mean.. Alexa..." "Wait, your sister Alexa?!? And Jacob?!? The ones that live in Detroit?!?" "Yeah. Basically... they were at a Tiger's game... When they were eating in the lounge, somebody came in with a gun. Three were left dead, Hallie's parents included." "What's going to happen to Hallie?!?" "That's why I wanted to talk to you. Her Grandpa is in jail, so that's a no. Her other grandparents are gone. And her aunt moved to Tokyo. (WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Lol you probally get it.... Uploading more soon, just woke up... I absolutly had to put the Tokyo refrance in there...) "Were really the only family that she has left." "WE, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, ARE MOVING TO DETROIT!!! THAT CITY IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN!!!" Jessie scream-whispered at me. She couldn't yell, Locke was doing homework on the dining room table, and Shep was next to him playing some game on the IPad. Locke barley peeked up when he heard that, but went back to his work before him. "That's not what I'm trying to say." "What are you trying to say?" "Jess," I paused, and then whispered in her ear, "We need to adopt Hallie."

FYI; I know some restaurants aren't in Cali, there really good and I'm kinda hungry... That might be there, I've only been to Cali once, and we only ate at fancy restaurants. Ugh. Ps, thanks for all your support!!

"Sooooo... Where ya wanna go for lunch?!?" I casually asked Hallie. I had just picked her up from the airport, and we were going to eat out for lunch, just her and I, so we can get to know eachother. "Uh, is there a Puka Dog here?!? I had it once when we went to Hawaii. It was awesome!!" "That's my favorite place too!"
