Chapter Ten Meet and Greet (part 1)
King hummed under his breath to himself as he shoved his arms into the sleeves of his jacket. It was very late, or early rather, but he couldn’t stand being cooped up any longer, five whole years of strain. Five years of fighting to stay hidden always. Now there was an inexplicable feeling in the air. Like a when one can feel a season coming, or a temperature drop. Like a hint at a taste of the future. It had been wearying to hide so long, it was opposite to his nature. But something inside him told him they would not have to be a secret much longer. He patted his pockets for his keys and then froze, turning slowly to the left. Wanda stood there with arms crossed over her bathrobe and slippers. “Where do you think you’re going?” He put his hands on his hips and tipped his head down, “Just out. I gotta walk, can’t stay in the house all the time. I get it that you and Carter are happy to live normal lives, that’s great, perfect for you guys. But it’s not me. I’m not ready at all for that.” She looked sympathetic and spoke softly, “Is this because of the accident? I understand, King I-” He just looked past her, “No. You don’t.” He swallowed hard and nodded once, “You’re a great lady, Carter is a lucky lucky man and I wish you all the best in the world. But don’t forget to live in every day you have.” Wanda watched as he turned away and opened the door. King looked back just before leaving, “I’ll come back, don’t be a mother and stay up, go rest.” The door clicked shut.
Elliea had assumed that it wouldn’t be so hard to find Katie since her family was fairly rich and prominent. And it was. It was getting in that was turning out to be difficult… Nobody went in, nobody went out. The groceries were dropped in the gate by drone. The drones were too small to conceal her so that left only two other options. Break in and hope that she would survive without knowing the defences beforehand or hide in the food and hope the drone didn’t break under the weight of a human. She pulled her heels up onto the bar of the stool she was sitting on and rubbed the bridge of her nose. The plate of food before her held no appeal while this problem was on her mind. She hadn’t drunk much or slept much either. She forgot to do things when she was on missions alone. Lost in thought Ellia stared at the wall blankly, wondering what the other where up to. If Damian was okay. She worried about him. Sometimes he thought too much and didn’t talk about it. She shook her head. She needed to decide what to do. How would she get in. Finally Elliea shovelled a few bites down and then paid and left the restaurant. She had come to a decision. Three hours later, it was getting dark and it was almost time to move out. Elliea was sitting the the patch of woods behind the Sisk grounds, leaning her back against a tree and picking apart twigs, leaves, and grass stems. She had decided to break in and it was pretty dangerous. The SIsks were rich and that meant anything under the sun could be protecting the house and grounds. Finally dusk was upon them and she rose, dusting of dry leaf crumble, dirt, and roots from her jeans and approaching the fence. It was a standard black wrought iron fence with decorative shapes in between it’s bars. She used those to climb, being careful not to step on any that might be loose or triggers or something. Finally she dropped lightly onto the grass on the inside and stayed there for a moment, waiting to see there was no trap. Slowly she stood and and glanced around the grounds, it was wide open with scattered shrubs and small trees. Just when she breathed a sigh of relief she heard the barking.
Finally they were all herded back out and were able to retrieve their cars, which no doubt had been thoroughly searched in their absence, and carry on with their journey in search of Cade.

(Ugh, I feel ya. That's so obnoxious. xP)
Um, King, where're you going?? o.o
(IKR! I had to take steps in the upcoming parts to avoid another such instance. >_>)
