Jessie arrived at the warehouse at 11:30 am. She was prepared for whatever she had to do, whatever it took to help Kyle. One of the most important lessons she had learned from him that you cannot live for yourself, that is more important to put the ones you love first.
Jessie approached Foss and Adam, who were standing next to the table with numerous books on it.
Adam looked over at Jessie confused "Jessie where is Kyle?"
Foss now looked over studying Jessie's face, studying her. Foss had grown to like Jessie but he still did not completely trust her. In his mind Kyle was to be the only one, she was not created with a purpose like he was.
"Kyle said he had something he had to first, that it was important" Jessie explained.
"What could be more important than what we are about to?!" Foss was angry, Foss hated it when Kyle pulled things like this.
"He said for us to go ahead and stake out the facility and make sure Amanda is there. He will meet us there. He said he had to do this" Jessie was adamant now, she wasn't going to let Foss question Kyle's judgment any longer.
Foss looked completely livid but knew he could not change what was already done so he moved towards his black van "Lets go" Foss growled to Jessie.
Before Jessie could move in compliance Adam had grabbed her hand. Foss looked back when he didn't hear footsteps but went on when he saw what was taking place. He knew what was going on and thought to himself "Am I the only one who remembers the mission!".
Jessie looked at Baylin when he grabbed her hand and looked at his face. She could tell he was going to say something he thought was important.
"Jessie I want to talk to you for a second," Adam said slowly.
"Okay" Jessie said a little nervously.
"I want to thank you for everything you have done here. Kyle would have never made it this far without you. He is lucky to have a friend like you" Adam confessed in a soft tone he only used when he explained a part of himself to Kyle.
"Thanks" Jessie said, she was not comfortable in this dynamic. This was the first time Adam actually said anything other than something that pertained to the mission.
"You and Kyle have grown closer these past days and I can sense you are happier. If you are like Sarah though, then I know something is still bothering you. I want you to know Kyle would never abandon you like I did with Sarah. Everybody you have ever met has let you down but Kyle is different, he will always be there for you." Adam tried to comfort Jessie.
Some tears formed in Jessie's eyes at the sound of Sarah's name, especially when she heard the hurt in Adam's voice as he said it. "How do you know" Jessie inquired.
"Because in the time I have watched Kyle, he has become a better man than I've ever been." Adam told her. With those last words Adam hugged Jessie, "I'm sorry" he said.
Jessie felt Adam's compassion when he hugged her, that he was truly sorry that she had been through so much. In a way she figured he felt responsible for everything that happened to her because it was his experiment that created her. She knew Adam was wrong about one thing, he was a pretty good guy too.
Jessie finally let go of Adam and proceeded towards the van. It was time to show everybody she truly was there to help.
Kyle walked up the front steps of Holy Family. Kyle slowly opened the doors and proceeded down the aisle in between the rows of pews until he reached the first. Kyle walked to the middle, knelt, put his hands slowly together. The church was quiet, he was the only one there. A statue of a man with long hair holding a cross looked down to him.
A small trinket was held tightly in his hands, it was a pendant of St. Collette: Patron St. of those who lost a parent. Kyle felt like he needed to have it with him now. Kyle now spoke in a whisper. It had been a special part of Amanda's and his past.
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference."
Kyle remembered reading the prayer once, for some reason he found this prayer was appropriate and it was one of Amanda's favorites. After a few more minutes of praying in silence he got up and exited the church.
(Kyle's Inner Monologue) "Amanda put her faith in God and I put mine in Amanda; so it felt only right for me to do the same. I was not sure if a God even existed but I knew Amanda would have wanted it this way"
Once Kyle was off the church steps, reassured in his convictions that he was going to save Amanda, he ran off towards the warehouse Amanda was in.
