A/N sorry for the short chapter but I wanted to see how you guys felt about this cute little conversation. I also want to see how you feel about Kenzi's situation.
Company. That's what Bo had when she was with Kenzi. It was the purely innocent sense of company that made Bo enjoy the girl's simple presence. Unfortunately it was this company that made her completely alert. Bo's body was as attentive as a hawk stalking it's prey and to be honest it was mostly because of the girl. It was strange really. She had never had this need, this need to want to protect someone so much that it was almost painful, especially not for a stranger. Yet somehow this little girl had made her so attached to her presence that she had an overprotectiveness about her and at that moment that over protectiveness is why she was stalking down the street with the girl trying hard to follow.
Their steps were no longer synchronized. Instead Bo's steps were frantic and fast paced that left Kenzi struggling to follow behind, bunny flailing on her back.
"Too fast" Kenzi breathed out.
Bo stopped at that, letting the girl catch up to her. She crouched down to look into the girl's eyes while she brushed the girl's hair away from her face. "I'm sorry sweetheart. I'm just a little confuse that's all."
"Oh" Kenzi answered. Her mouth once again formed a perfect O. "Why"
"Because...because honey." Bo sighed out.
"Is it because of Charlie?"
"Well...Um...yeah." Bo nodded. "Yup" Kenz frowned. "But he's not in trouble...with me. It's just that." God she didn't know how she ended up explaining this to a five year old. Still she felt like she had to so she rounded the next corner so that she entered a mixed-lit alley. She tugged at the bunny and pulled out a dollar. "You see this?"
"Yes"
"And do you know what it is?"
"Money"
"That's right Kenz" She lauded the girl. "So can you" She pointed at Kenzi "tell me" then at herself. "who gave you this money." She ended it with pointing at the money.
"Jacob"
"Oh" this time it was bo's turn to tilt her head.
"Cause he said if i went and played with him and the airplanes he would get me shoes."
"And how do you play this game darling?"
"We go see airplane and th-then we go up up up high into the sky for a very long time and it make my ear go pop!" Kenzi used her hands to express how high they were and used her mouth to make the pop sound. "And then big brother takes me to a big place called..." Kenzi tilted her head to try and remember what the place was called. "I don't memember but and but" She stuttered. "he gives Charlie money and then we go bye bye."
"So Jacob is your brother?"
Kenzi nodded her head.
"Oh" Bo said exasperated.
Kenzi brushed the conversation over. Then she grabbed Bo's hand and with her blue eyes she cleared Bo's mind. "So where we go now?"
Bo looked at her phone. It read 12:11. Bo began walking once again walking quickly to her car. "To a job interview."
Kenzi smiled brightly as she resynchronized their steps."Okay Mommy?"
Bo paused. Mommy?
