1: Tell it to the frogs

Raelee's P.O.V

I grab my flannel from my younger brother, Jae. I then put it on, and I look over to see the dorky kid, Kihyun, just sitting there reading a book, that he probably got from Dale's RV. Okay, here you see, my name is Raelee, or people call me Rae, since my name is too difficult to pronounce, I'm a 22 year old, lieutenant from Savannah, Georgia, and I'm the youngest lieutenant in Savannah. My first encounter with whatever you call this mess, when I was gonna pick up my two younger brothers from my mom's house, and that dorky kid, Kihyun, the one I was talking about, he was the one who saved me. Which is funny, because the kid can looks like he can barely carry his own two feet. He's kinda cute, a dorky kind of cute, but I don't know, "Rae, can you please tell me when Brian is getting back?" Jae asked me and I shook my head, with a sigh

"I don't know, sweetie, we just have to wait." I say to him and he nods, even though I have two younger brothers, they are like my children, because they are only 14 years old, and since both of my parents are dead, and Brian had to kill both of them, so now I have to take care of them. I was an only child, for 8 years until Brian and Jae were born. I walked over to the woman, Lori, who was busy cutting her son, Carl's hair, while another police officer, Shane, who was busy cleaning his gun,

"Baby, the more you fidget, the longer it takes. So don't, okay?" Lori says

"I'm trying." Carl says

"Well, try harder." Lori told him and I laugh

"If you think this is bad, wait till you start shaving. That stings. That day comes, you'll be wishing for one of your mama's haircuts." Shane told him

"I'll believe that when I see it." Carl told him and he chuckled

"I'll tell you what... you just get through this with some manly dignity and tomorrow I'll teach you something special. I will teach you to catch frogs." Shane told him

"I've caught a frog before." Carl says

"I said frogs... plural. And it is an art, my friend. It is not to be taken lightly. There are ways and means. Few people know about it. I'm willing to share my secrets." Shane told Carl, and Carl looked at Lori

"Oh, I'm a girl. You talk to him." Lori told him and I laughed

"It's a one-time offer, bud... not to be repeated." Shane told him

"Why do we need frogs, plural?" Carl asked him

"You ever eat frog legs?" Shane asked and I grimaced

"Eww!" Carl grimaced

"No, yum!" Shane argued

"No, he's right. Eww." Me and Lori say in unison

"When you get down to that last can of beans, you're gonna be loving those frog legs, ladies. I can see it now... "Shane, do you think I could have a second helping, please? Please? Just one?"" Shane says imitating both me and Lori

"Yeah, we doubt that." I say to him and he chuckled

"Don't listen to her, man. You and me, we'll be heroes. We'll feed these folks cajun-style Kermit legs." Shane says

"I'd rather eat, Miss Piggy." I say and Shane, Lori, and Carl looked at me and I laugh, "Yes, that came out wrong." I continued

"Heroes, son, spoken of in song and legend. You and me, Shane and Carl." Shane says, and the conversation was interrupted by the sound of a beeping car alarm and I looked over to see Dale on top of the RV with binoculars
