Sorry about any confusion I caused with the update, I had to do the author's notes and all that good stuff. Like thanking Omega Ultra for beta-reading my story. I appreciate it! I told myself I had to update this before I updated When the Luck Ran Out so here it is! Enjoy!
"Oh...okay... Will do," Lori said into her phone.
"What happened?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"Nothing, just that...umm... your Mom is kinda going to the same park as us," Lori stammered.
Everyone gasped.
Ronnie started clawing at her blond hair. "Can't get caught. Terrible things will happen. Please not her,"
Lola slapped her on the face, "Get it together woman!"
"Thanks. I needed that," Ronnie Anne said gratefully. "But I'll get you back!"
Lola felt an odd feeling of deja vu.
"We can't let her see you!" Lynn said.
The car engaged in agreement. Oddly, they just arrived at Dairy Land. They were about to leave the car when a bright yellow car passed. A pair of women quickly exited. One Ronnie noticed as her mother. She froze on the spot. Fear had paralyzed her. The family followed her gaze and saw Mrs. Santiago. Ronnie found herself surrounded by all the Loud sisters, and walking out of the car, keeping her in the middle, possibly unseen. But, Gretchen looked through them and saw one girl.
"Hey you!" She shouted pointing to the group of girls.
"Maybe we should go on!" The redheaded woman said. Trying to nudge Mrs. Santiago forward. She just shrugged her hand off.
"Do I know you?" She asked, pointing to Ronnie Anne.
Ronnie's eyes grew wide with fear, she froze once again.
"I don't believe so mam," Lori said.
"I wasn't talking to you, tank top!" Mrs. Santiago growled. "Let her talk!"
"N-n-no M-miss," Ronnie stuttered.
"I really believe we should go, Mrs. Santiago!" Dr. Lopez exclaimed forcefully.
Gretchen reluctantly complied, grumbling.
"I'm sorry guys, but we can't risk her getting another look at me!" Ronnie Anne sighed.
"And that is why I have infiltrated the amusement park's simple surveillance system and also her cellular device," Lisa responded. "It will alert us whenever she gets close to our group,"
Cheers arose from the sisters.
Ronnie rubbed her shoulder. "I still dunno about this,"
"Pretty pretty please!" Lola and Lana cried.
"Fine," Ronnie Anne sighed.
Both twins squealed in excitement.
"I've got a bad feeling about this," Ronnie Anne muttered under her breath.
Once out of the nice children's earshot, Dr. Lopez decide to have some choice words with Mrs. Santiago.
"But Doc, I coulda sworn that was my little baby girl," The deceiving woman cried.
"Your daughter looks nothing like that girl, but if it'll better you emotional state, then I guess we could sneak another peek at her" Dr. Lopez sighed.
"Thank you doc!" Gretchen exclaimed.
"There she is!" Dr. Lopez pointed to the now entering females. "We will just start a conversation with them, and you can inspect the child,"
They made their way to the girls.
Ronnie Anne spotted the nearing women. "Uh-oh, I they're-"
Suddenly, Fancy began to play on Lisa's phone. The sisters understood what this meant, so they started moving.
"Fancy? Really?" Lynn snickered.
"I don't always have to be a nerd!" Lisa responded.
They entered the first line with a significant amount of people. The duo of women tried to follow them, but people came quickly behind them. Luckily, there were two people behind them, and they filled up the six two seaters. The ride was a log flume that had a story about the digestive system of a cow. They finally flew out the cow's rear end and circled around to the exit. Before Dr. Lopez got to open her mouth, the children rushed past them. Ronnie was in the back and noticed a look of determination in both of the women's eyes. Startled, she followed the the rest of the sisters.
The sisters were all whooping at how they escaped the therapist and mad woman, and how thrilling the ride was. The girls did not notice Ronnie Anne's feeling of unease. Throughout the ride riding frenzy, Ronnie Anne felt he stomach getting week each time she saw the two faces of those two women.
The ride her stomach finally gave into was Kingda Cow. She was enjoying how fast the ride was when she saw her mother down below. Just when the hit a brake. She immediately emptied her guts on top of Gretchen Santiago, right before the ride picked up speed. This didn't prevent her from catching a glance of her daughter.
A couple minutes later, Gretchen spotted two blondes, one much taller than the other. She grabbed the second tallest by the shoulders and growled,
"I don't know what you were trying to pull on that ride but-"
"What are you doing with my child?" The taller lady exclaimed. The little girl turned and showed a face near tears. They both had significantly different faces than who she expected.
"I'm sorry ma-" Gretchen started.
"Police!" The lady cried.
Gretchen looked down to see her hands still on the girl's shoulders, holding them tightly. Frightened, she released the girl, who buried her face into her mother's chest and cried.
By the time Gretchen had gathered her bearings, she was cuffed and escorted to a police car. No one even noticed that even more of her humanity had ebbed away.
As Dr. Lopez watched her client being taken into custody to be interrogated, she noticed how angry she was. A normal person suffering this much trauma in their life would have just sighed and let it go. She had never seen someone be that forceful on someone when they were mourning. They may just be extremely nice to them and find out who they were if they looked like the person they lost.
She had reached the conclusion that the girl was Miss Santiago's child, from the fear that shone in her eyes. She would say it was the fear of being caught after running away, but it was true fear. She had to look into the Santiago mystery, to find out what was going on. She started by typing Gretchen's name into the search bar.
After Kingda Cow, the Loud siblings and Ronnie Anne left Dairy Land. Now that they left without her being taken back, Ronnie Anne was able to enjoy the park. She was put even more at ease when she saw her mother zooming away in a police car. Maybe she was gone forever. But, even she knew that this was too much to ask for.
