Adena was looking for Lynn, since she wasn't answering her phone. And they couldn't find each other; those two, along with Gabriel's four kids, and Jamie and Drake, all had Enochian sigils carved into their ribs.
Meaning they were hidden from all angels, even themselves.
As Adena knocked on the door of Sarah's house, she could hear arguing from the inside.
Curious, she rang the doorbell.
She was a little surprised to see little Phoenix answer the door. "Hi, Addy, Lynny's not here..." She said.
"She's not?" Adena asked.
"No," the five year old confirmed.
"How did you know I was looking for her?" Adena asked.
Phoenix smiled. "Why else would you come here?"
Adena then felt terribly guilty; she always spent her time between her boyfriend Ryan, and Lynn.
Not once had she came here on her own, Lynn was always with her.
"Well...I can I hang out with you, then?" Adena asked.
"...ikay!" Phoenix turned and ran inside, instantly happy.
"What are you watching?" Adena wondered.
Phoenix smiled. "Penguins of Madagascar." She answered, looking back at her TV.
Blinking, Adena went and sat with her. "Can I watch with you? I've not had the chance to watch this."
Phoenix nodded.
...
Half an hour later, when the show was over, the cousins went back downstairs.
"Gabriel?" Adena called out.
"Yeah?" they heard him from the basement. The girls grinned, and plodded down the steps.
"Daddy?" Phoenix called out innocently.
"Yeah, Nixxy?" Gabriel looked up.
"Can penguins fly?" she asked.
"Uh…I don't think so-?" Gabriel admitted.
Phoenix grinned, and Adena suggested, "Why don't we find out for ourselves?"
"What?" Gabriel didn't get it.
Phoenix giggled, and Adena snapped her fingers.
...
Outside, Sarah was doing yard work, since it was pretty warm for a January day.
When she heard the back door fly open, she looked up, and her blue eyes were wide.
She didn't get why Phoenix and Adena were being chased by an angry looking penguin.
And why they were laughing their heads off.
