Edd. Matt, and Tom find a strangely familiar child on the streets named Kelcey. When they find out that she's the daughter of an "old friend" they try to bring her home. Then they find out why she's there.
It was a cold and rainy night. Edd had to run some errands. As he was walking, he heard quiet sobbing. Wondering what it was, he followed the sobbing. To his surprise, he saw a little girl, curled up in a ball, by a wet suitcase. Edd walked to her. He took a deep breath.
"Hi, sweetheart. Are you lost?"
The girl looked up. She had familiar brown hair and dark brown eyes. She wiped her eyes.
"Yes."
Edd went to his knees. The girl luckily wasn't hurt.
"Where are your parents?"
"I was sent here by my father. I'm going to stay with a few friends of his. His other friend was supposed to give me their address but he never did. I don't know where I'm supposed to go."
Edd looked at the girl with an upset expression. Then he got an idea.
"Who... who is your father?"
"He's the Red Leader, but since he doesn't want his identity to be revealed, I can't tell you who he is."
Edd had heard of the Red Leader. He was always shown on TV with a blurred face. He had heard awful things about him. Since he didn't know who Red Leader was, this didn't help at all. Then, it hit him. He felt like he knew who this girl's father was. But he wasn't one hundred percent sure. He knew what to ask her,
"What's your name, sweetheart?"
"Kelcey. Kelcey Larrson."
Edd's eyes widened. That last name pounded in his head. "Larrson. Larrson. Larsson." He knew good and well who her father was. He got his phone out, and swiped through the photos. He found the one he was looking for. A picture with him, Matt, Tom, and Tord in it. The only picture with him in it that wasn't deleted. He showed it to Kelcey.
"Is this... your dad?"

Kelcey smiled, and held the phone in her hands.
"Yeah! That's my dad! Though in this photo, his face isn't messed up."
Edd's heart dropped. Tord was alive. He wasn't dead. This little girl, who looked like she was six, was his daughter. He smiled.
"Kelcey, I think you were supposed to stay with me. I was good friends with your father."
"Really?"
"Yeah, a lot of crazy adventures. If you want, you can stay with us."
The shivering child stood up and grabbed her suitcase. She nodded. Edd took her by the hand and started walking home.
