Alec gave the horses a last, quick look and closed the door to the stable. He was going to be responsible for the farm for three weeks. Well, not completely, some of his stepdads friends were going to come over a few times to help. It was a big farm with a lot to do after all. For some reason his mom, stepdad and Julian had decided to start their holiday early and had gone away. Of course they had asked him to come with them, but he knew he couldn't leave Kiera and their important work. They accepted that he was so engaged in his "research" and let him be. He felt a little guilty about not spending so much time with his family, but hey, he was doing it for the sake of humanity. They couldn't blame him for that (Although they didn't know). He jogged to the house to fetch a snack. He struggled to balance the food and cans in his arms, but made it to his computers without dropping anything. He knew that Kiera already was on her way to the first street on their list. Like always when Kiera was doing something special he stayed close to his computers in case she needed his help. He opened a bag of Cheetos and began eating while watching Kiera's screen, as if he was watching a movie. He saw Kiera and Carlos talk to several people, and they were okay with being moved for their safety. Of course Kiera didn't tell them any details, only that a gang was after them and their lives were in danger. After they had packed their bags they were moved, all to different locations. Now the time was around 4 o' clock. Carlos was driving while Kiera looked through the papers for the next person. "Next up is [y/n], she lives on [name of street].
I'll talk to her while you wait in the car." Kiera said to Carlos, and he agreed. This girl was different from the others. She was neither a baby nor a mother. Just a high school student. Alec saw Kiera exit the car and walk up to the house, scanning it with her HUD. Nobody was home. "Are you gonna break and enter?" Alec said, excited. Kiera rolled her eyes and said "No. She'll be here any minute…there she is! [y/n]!" On his screen Alec could see Kiera looking right at a young girl with big, [eye color], surprised eyes. Alec was startled. He knew it was a cliché, but there was something about this girl that left him breathless. He stared at her face like he was in a hypnosis, for a few seconds. He was happy she couldn't see him, he was acting like a complete creep. Kiera walked over to her and introduced herself. The girl looked completely perplexed but went to open the door without questioning her. When they had walked inside and Kiera had given her the same explanation she had given the others, [y/n] finally spoke. "But….what about school, and my family? They will wonder where I am. Are you sure I have to do this?" Before Kiera could answer, her phone started ringing and she took it out of her pocket, looking at the screen. "Hold on, I need to take this" Kiera excused herself and put the phone to her ear. Alec couldn't hear what the other person was saying. "Hello. Yes. Yes….what? Okay. I think I know what to do. Bye." Kiera said and hung up. She walked back to the girl and said "I'll call your school and say you went really sick. You can catch up on schoolwork later. I will inform your family about the situation, I'm sure your safety is their biggest priority. Pack a bag and meet me in the car." [y/n] looked like she was going to object, but closed her mouth and did as Kiera had told her. Kiera stepped into the kitchen and put her phone to her ear. "Alec? Can you hear me?" When Alec realized she was talking to him he sat up straight in his chair and turned on his headset. "Yeah, I'm here." "I just got a call from the station. They couldn't find a safe place for another person. I figured…your family is away right?" "Yeah….?" Alec could see where this was going, and he wasn't very sure what he thought about it. "You would do us a great favor if you could help us out with this. Look after her and such. Just don't let her be seen by anyone, understood? We'll be there in 20." She didn't give him a chance to respond. A girl? Living with me? No way. He hadn't even talked with a girl since he jumped out of high school. Wait. She would be staying here for…how long? She has to sleep somewhere…? Alec felt anxious. He had to solve his problems but decided to get up from his seat to get more soda first.
