Ian and I were helping Lip get the ice-cream truck because he was gonna help Mandy retrieve her half-sister as her mom's just died.Ian sighed after pulling the cover off the top of the truck, "You're visiting a Milkovich sister nobody's ever heard of in Milwaukee?" he checked, looking at Lip. Our older brother nodded, "Correct."
"And you're gonna do what?" Ian wondered. "We are going to evaluate her wellbeing and if need be, rescue her," Lip explained while pulling off another cover.
"You mean kidnap," I corrected with a light chuckle. "Provide transport to a safer haven," Lip stated, raising his eyebrows at me.
I hummed, "Definitely kidnap," I nodded. Lip scoffed, "Rescue!" Ian cut in, "Bad idea," he told Lip. "Look, a kid's in trouble," Lip threw his arms up, "We're gonna help."
The three of us hopped inside the truck and Lip took a seat in front of the wheel. "Crossing state lines to bring a minor back to the Milkovich House of Horror seems like abuse," I sighed, sitting in the passengers' seat.
"Look, her mother's dead, she's home alone and she's scared," Lip clarified and began to start up the truck. "Welcome to the predictable consequences of using crystal meth," I shrugged.
The truck's engine rattled as Lip tried to start it. "Have you ever driven this thing more than four consecutive miles?" Ian asked and Lip turned to glance at him with a smile on his face as the truck finally started up and Lip began driving.

I sat at the kitchen table that night while Fiona set up for a small party with girls from her work. I watched Jimmy come through from the living room to make an addition to the squirrel fund which Fiona rewarded for by pressing a kiss to his lips.
I heard the front door open and watched Lip walk in, Mandy close behind him. "Hey, where you been?" Fiona asked. "Hey, uh, Milwaukee," Lip told her, walking through to the kitchen.
"What?" Fiona puzzled as Jimmy nodded slowly. "Love Milwaukee," he stated, "Breweries." Lip scanned over the bowls of chips and the few six-packs of beers on the counter, "What's all this?"
"Party for work," Fi told him. Mandy walked through to the kitchen with a little girl by her side, her sister, I'm guessing. "Hey, Fiona," Mandy gave my older sister a small smile which was replied with a glare.
I sighed and walked over to Mandy's side, "Hi Mandy," I looked at my sister, "I think is the correct term to reply with," I smiled and Fiona made a face at me while Mandy chuckled under her breath.
"Fiona, this is Molly," Lip gestured to the little girl, "Mandy's sister." Fiona and Jimmy both whipped their gaze to Mandy, "You have a sister?" they asked simultaneously.
