Teenagers

Colt:

"Oh well indeed." He laughed scooping her up .

"Put me down!" She demande.d

"Nope, not when you look liek your about to fall asleep." He replied.

"He's right, you need to rest, you look dead." SEnra admited.

"You have NO room to talk." Annie laughed. "You shouldn't be walking far either."

"Yes I should, It helps." Colt was confussed now. What were they talking about.

"Did I miss something?" He asked.

"I'm pregnate." SEnra admitted.

SEnra:

It came easier now to admit it.

"And your husband let you...." He started.

"She's not married, no boyfriend." Phil said. Colt seemed to put the peices together and shut up.

Annie

"Put me down," I said again.

Colt ignored me. I sighed, irritating man.

"Put me down please?" I tried

He ignored me again. I gave up, I was too tired to walk anyways, so instead I wrapped my arm around his neck and laid my head down on it.

Colt:

When they got back to Annie's place he laid her down on the couch. "I'm fixing dinner, any requests?"

"There any mac and cheese?" Senra asked turning bright red.

"Craving?" He smiled. SHe nodded her face getting reder. "If not I'll run to the store and get some." He smiled.

Senra:

Senra looked down at her hands and bit her lower lip, how could these men care so much when they didn't even know her. It just wasn't right.

Annie

I stretched out on the couch doing my best not to fall asleep. I was somewhat failing. Colt returned from the kitchen looking lost. "Annie I don't know the lay out of your kitchen!"

I smiled on a sigh and got up, "coffee time," I said immediately.

"You don't need coffee," he insisted.

"I do if I want to stay awake." I felt in danger of falling over so I stayed a few feet away from him, I didn't want to fall into his arms again.



Phil

I was left in the room with the beautiful pregnant and nervous looking Senra.

I tried to start a conversation.

Colt:

Colt frowned, "Just show me where the pots and mac is. Then go back and lay down." He replied.

"I need coffee." She replied.

"No, you need sleep, Senra needs Mac and cheese, I need to know you are resting, and I don't know what Phil needs." He replied crossing his arms. "Where are the things."



Senra:

"How long have you been craving things?" Phil asked.

"A week." Senra replied. "He doesn't have to worry about it. I'll live." She replied wringing her hands and not looking up at him.

"Don't worry, COlt loves doing stuff that keeps everyone around him happy, he'd be insulted if you took your request back now." Phil smiled.

"Oh." She lookedup at him for a second. "You know a lot about me now, what can I know about oyu?"

Hey guys, so I hate to be a bother, but there are like no new/good active storybooks right now so I was wondering if I could kind of join in as a new person. If not's it's totally cool I understand. If yes, what's going on?

Annie

I sighed and sat down in the chair, "one pot of coffee?"

"No."

"One cup?"

"No."

I sighed, "at least let me help."

"You can help by resting."



Phil

"There's not that much to tell really, I lived in Wyoming for most of my life, moved here when I was 21, got into a fight with a drunk who was giving a girl problems was hired as a security guard the next day."

She smiled like she was happy with my response.

"What else?"

He shrugged, "that's about it. I don't really live life. I just go to work and home."

"No girlfriend?"

"Nope."

***Sorry Rory, we're pretty deep in this one. Join Adrift if you haven't already***

Senra:

Senra could smell the mac cooking. She hadn't reliezed how hungry she was. Phil heard her stomach growl.

"When is the last time you ate?" He asked. She just shrugged.

"So where were you before Wyoming?" She asked changing the subject.

Colt:

After Colt made sure she was laying down he hurried and cooked the mac and cheese. It sure did smell good. He made a lot knowing that Senra would probably eat as much as he did due to feeding two people. His phone vibrated and he answered

"Colt, I'm going to die of waiting, do you know where that PI is?" It was Kaleb.

"Ya, just come to Annie's apartment, we're all eating over here. There is enough for every, can you grab a bunch of mac and cheese from my place so I can put the same about back in her cabnits as we are eating?"

"Sure, I'll be over there in a bit. Rosie should wake up soon anyways." Kaleb replied.

"Alright, see you soon." Colt hung up and looked in the living room. Senra wasn't really making eye contact wtih Phil. If what Phil was trying to get him to know earlier then she had been raped and he didn't blame her. But she was a PI how had someone gotten past her?

Annie

I was lying down, just like Colt wanted, but there was a very bright light shining on my face. Senra was talking to Phil, and Colt was still cooking. I could have slept. But I was more preoccupided with staying awake.

Colt came out of the kitchen and turned the light off.

"Hey!" I whined flailing my arms around trying to hit him.

"Sleep," he said.

"No."

"I'll wake you up when it's time to eat."

I sighed and gave up, sleep sounded too good. I switched onto my side and fell asleep.

Senra:

Senra laid her head back and sniffed the air. She was really hungry now. "You never answered my question." Phil said. Just then the door opened and Kaleb came through with the little baby.

"Hey Phil." Kaleb said his eyes looked warn. Rosie was crying and he couldn't get her to stop. Senra walked over and took her and sat down.

"Hey, Angel, your mighty cute." Rosie stopped crying and looked at her. "I'm supposed to find your momma, aren't I?" She looked up at Kaleb. "Do you have anything, that might help?"

"She called me." He shrugged.

"I'll track down the number." She said.

"Foods ready!" Colt called. Senra jumped up and started towards the kitchen. She had gotten up to fast and Phil quickly caught her handing Rosie over to Kaleb.

"When was the last time you drank enough water to keep your blood pressure where it needs to be?" He demanded.

Phil

"Um...I don't know, I had a bottle yesturday.."

I sighed, "When was the last time you ate anything?"

"This morning." And she had thrown it all up...

I swept her into my arms and carried her to the kitchen, Annie was out she wouldn't mind. I sat her on the counter and got a glass and filled it full of water. I made her drink it all, and then refilled it, that one I let her drink at her leisure while she ate. She still sat on the counter though.

Colt returned from the livingroom looking amused.

"Annie's not waking up?"

He shook his head, "nope."

We waited until the color returned to Senra's face and she didn't look so uncomfortable before we started talking about the MIA Sybyla.


Sybyla

I held the picture envelope tight in my hand and stared at my father's house. My breath hitched and my ribs started to hurt just from the memory. I wasn't giving up now, I knew I was putting Kaleb through hell, I missed them both insanely, but I was going to do what I came to do so my visit wouldn't be in vain.

I rang the doorbell.

Senra:

The food tasted wonderful. Once Phil was positive she had eaten all she could and gotten enough water did he allow her to start thinking about how to find Sybyla. She started to get off the counter.

"What do you need?" Phil asked.

"My computer." She said motioning to the only bag she had brought. "it's in the outside pocket." He nodded and brought it to her. "What's the number she used?" She asked Kaleb. He gave her the number and she typed it in her program. She waited until the program searched and searched.

"Well?" Kaleb asked eagerly.

"Well, last time it transmitted a signal she was in Chicago." She replied lookng up at him. "Anywhere there she would go." His face had gone really pale.

Kaleb:

Kaleb sank down into a chair feeling sick. He laid Rosie into her carrier. "She went to her dad." He said running a hand through his hair. "If she is already there I can't stop her. He'll kill her." He burried his face in his hands and Rosie started to cry. He looked down at her.

"Why would she go back?" Colt asked gently.

"I-I-I don't know." He said. He grabbed his phone and dialed her number, "Maybe I can stop her."

Sybyla

My phone buzzed in my pocket, nobody was answering the door, maybe dad was in the shower. I pulled it out and was about to flip it open when the door opened. I flipped the flip part on my phone so it turned on and off.

"Hi dad," I said hesitantly.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"I wanted to show you some things..."

He let the door go open, "come on in."

Kaleb:

"The call was ignored." Kaleb said dropping his phone. "I have to go get her!" He said jumping up.

"Wait." Senra said scooting off the counter. Phil looked liek he was going to protest but she wouldn't let him. "I'll go find her. You have a baby to take care of, she can't lose both parents and be stuck in a house wiht someone she doesn't know while you look for her."

"You.." Phil started.

"I will get her." Senra replied. "If your concerned you can come, but this is my job and I can do it." She replied crossing her arms.

"I want to see her though." Kaleb moaned.

"I know, but let me find her, I"ll bring her back, trust me. I'm less threatening too. So if I have to ask information from people not only will they not know me, but they will trust me." She said smiling a little.

"Alright, but Please hurry." He begged looking up at her.

"I will." She smiled. She looked at Colt. "Tell Annie I said thanks for the food and I"ll be back."

"What will you drive?" Phil demanded.

"I'll rent a car." She replied packing her laptop and heading towards the door.

Phil

I followed Senra out the door and down the stairs.

"Why are you following me?" she questioned.

"Like you said if I was concerened I could go with you."

She sighed.

I smiled.
