Chapter 24

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon.

Darien started heading out the door when he heard a voice to his right.

"No papa I'm right here."

Darien turned at the sound of the familiar voice.

"Rini," he said as he looked at the little 8 year old raven haired girl, he and his wife had spent 8 years looking for and recently found and who they were beginning to think would never see again.

He instantly went and grabbed the little girl and hugged her like there was no tomorrow.

"Oh Rini, thank goodness you're safe" he said in relief. "Serena, Serena come out here."

Serena came out of the little house with DJ still in her arms and Selene walking behind her.

"What's wrong Dar-." Serena started to say but when she looked at the little girl Darien was with, tears built up in her eyes.

"Rini, oh Rini!" She put DJ down and hugged Rini in a big bear hug.

"Rini, sweetheart are you ok did they do anything to you." She cried.

Rini melted into her mother's embrace.

"I'm fine mama" She said

After a few minutes Serena let go and Darien asked.

"I don't understand, how did you escape."

Rini looked up at her father and said

"Well I woke up before Mina and Matt stopped the car and I heard them talking about stopping, so I just faked being asleep so when they stopped I could sneak out. And I did when Mina took DJ out the car, Matt went to go lookout, I opened the door and ran to the opposite side of the car and hid behind the house, until they left. I left my pink bandana there so they would think I was still there, they left so fast I bet they didn't look twice and just left thinking you would catch them. As soon as they left I heard another car, I thought they came back so I stayed hidden, but when I heard Papa's voice I knew it was safe to come out.

Darien looked at his daughter with pride.

"Wow that was smart and quick thinking for an eight year old." he said.

"Well my teacher always said I was smart for an eight year old."

'Well you certainly are." said Serena just as proud as her husband/

Darien stood up from the ground and said

"Come on, we going back to London, the police can handle Mina and Matt." He said and pointed to the police cars that went past them and headed in the direction the demented couple went before.

The whole family got back to the hotel to pack and then go to the airport to board their jet back to London.

Meanwhile Mina and Matt were still on the road with the police on their tails.

"Step on it, Matt, the police are right behind us.' Mina said.

"I can see that." Matt growled at her.

Mina huffed to her self and then looked behind her and only saw a pink bandana there.

"Hey where's Serenity, she's gone." she said grabbing the bandana and throwing it out the window.

Matt looked behind him and found out it was true.

"She must have escaped when we stopped, I told you that was a bad idea." he said yelling at her.

Mina's temper snapped. "Well no one told you to listen to me."

They kept arguing back and forth until they came to a turn and Mina looked out the window.

"WATCH OUT!" she shouted, but it was too late they fell off a cliff where the car exploded and ended their lives.

The police stopped and saw all the smoke and fire.

"Well there's nothing we can do." said one of the police officers.

"We better alert Mr. and Mrs. Shields about this."

Another police officer walked over to the first one.

"Sir, I've just received word that Mr. and Mrs. Shields have returned to their home in London."

He nodded "Connect me to the English police, we'll let them tell the Shields."

Back in London Serena, Darien and the kids returned home. They were greeted by Raye and her Husband Jonathan and their daughter Hisana. Amy and her husband Zane and their two kids Daniel and Jessica, and Lita and Neil and their daughter Liana. Luna and Andrew along with his new wife Rita were also there to welcome the little girl.

They were all happy tat Serena and Darien had found their daughter and Rini was happy to meet everybody.

They all went inside to start the welcoming party Luna had planned when Darien had called her and told her of their return.

An hour into the party the police arrived

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Shields, I am Officer Seiya at your service."

Darien turned towards the police officer

"Yes how can we help you."

"I have news from the police in America."

"What kind of news." Serena asked though she kind of already knew what it was.

"I'm sorry to inform you that Ms. Mina Collen and her husband Mr. Matt McKnight suffered a car accident and didn't survive they were cremated."

Darien felt a little sadness after all Mina had been his wife and at one time he had loved her. He saw Serena tear up a little bit before turning back to the officer.

"Well thank you for telling us Officer." said Darien as he saw the officer out.

"At your service sir." Seiya tipped his hat and left the house.

Serena walked up to Darien, tearstains on her face and said

"I'm sorry I'm saying this because she was my twin sister but they got what they deserved."
