Cassie sighed, her blue eyes glancing over the gadget before her.
It was her father's phone...again.
He had dropped it 'accidentally' in the sink after a call with her mother. Judging by the smashed bits, he had thrown it and not dropped it. Cassie couldn't blame Johnny, after all, her mother could be a little overbearing.
"Jacqui...you wouldn't mind helping me with this?" She asked, looking over to the gadget 'wiz'. If anyone could get the files off the phone it would definitely be her.
"Sure thing." She smiled, taking the remains and disappearing for a few minutes.
This left Cassie alone in her thoughts.
Jin and Takeda were conversing away behind her. They were just doing some petty 'surveillance' which just meant looking at the screen doing nothing. Their constant chatter was giving her a headache.
She was just grateful she'd be gone within the next hour.
These people were driving her nuts.
Jacqui returned with all the files on a new phone. It looked exactly like the old one except it worked. She gave a sigh of relief and patted her friend on the back. "Thanks. My dad was freaking out about this thing."
"Why?" She asked. "Is there something important on there?"
"Hmm..." Cassie pondered, unlocking the phone in curiosity. "Lemme see."
A few minutes passed and Cassie couldn't find anything except for a few contacts and...some pictures.
Those looked promising.
There were only about thirty photos. Each one older, and different from the last.
The first picture was of Cassie and Sonya. It certainly wasn't recent since it was her as a baby.
That hit her hard.
She continued to flip through them, her eyes watering from the memories.
Her first birthday, her first fishing trip, her sweet sixteen, her first real fight and so on.
It was as if her father had decided to keep every individual memory of Cassie becoming an adult.
No wonder he had expressed such urgency over having his phone restored.
But then there was one picture left...an extremely old one too.
It was a little blurry but she was able to make out the four kids.
One was her and one was Jacqui but...it hit her like a freight train.
Jin and Takeda.
She grinned and put her hand over her mouth to silence her squee of excitement. The memories were suddenly coming back to her. She figured she had never met the two boys until the team had been put together.
She was dead wrong.
"Something wrong, Cassie?" Jin asked, seeing the shocked expression on the blonde's face. He wasn't sure how he had picked up on her attitude shift, but he had.
"I'd like you guys to see this picture. I'm sure it'll ring some bells."
THE END.
