   "How are you?" I ask. I know I am not being the kind of person I typically am in front of Zoe, Mike, and Ben, but I get to see my little sister.

   "I am good. I wish I could see all of you a tad more" She sounds a little British and a little like someone from 1899. It makes sense because she is both.

   "Mum, dad and I?" I crossed my arms over my chest to tell her that they didnt know about Trixie and to not bring it up.

   "Yup. And Grandpa. After all yall taught me," she turned towards a boy off to the side, "Scot this be Rica's friends Ben, Zoe, and Mike" she pointed to us as she said out name, "This here be Scot"

    "Do you have any other siblings?" Mike asked.

   "Why should I tell you?"

   "Because I asked"

   Some boys had gathered around and started whispering "Is he gonna pick a fight with Leo? Man that boy be stupid"

   "Well because YOU asked I wont tell you"

    "So you have another sibling"

   Zoe cut in, "Maybe she is saying that because she wants another sibling but doesnt want us to know its just her and Erica?

   "So you want me to stop talking?"

   "no that but..." She trailed off.

    Ben had just started to agree when a bullet whizzed past and lodged itself in a nearby pole. "Duck!"

   Zoe screamed bloody murder.
