Lacy knew that walking on her injured ankle wasn't the brightest of ideas, but if she wanted to get herself and her siblings as far away from their father as she could, then so be it. A smile graced her face when they had finally reached the park, and it was then, that she heard the faint rumblings of two small stomachs. Heading over to a pavilion and ducking inside, Lacy sighs, removing her hood and sitting down, both Ellie and Damion following suit. As they were eating the granola bars from their emergency kits, Ellie speaks up, "Lacy, are we going to the police?"

"No. We're not."

"Why? Mommy always said that the police are good people and that they will help us." Damion asks, curious.

Lacy sighs, "Yeah, they are helpful, but this is different…they might take us back home."

Ellie pauses, "But I don't want to go home."

"Kiddo, neither do I." Lacy says, taking the remainder of her granola bar into her mouth. "Let's rest here and wait until the rain stops."

"Okay." Damion and Ellie replied in unison.

Silence fell around them as Lacy, in the meantime, made herself comfortable, staring off into the distance. The uncomfortable thoughts of what could happen if they were to be caught. She swallowed the lump in her throat, 'I don't want us to go into foster care. It'll mean that we will be separated, and no family wants to adopt a teenager.'

Lacy woke up to her sister shaking her awake. "Come on Lacy!" The young girl whispers excitedly, "Wake up! You're going to miss the rainbow!"

With a groan, Lacy pushes herself up off of the floor and smiling as she looked up at the arch of colors in the sky, hoping that if they were to follow that there'd be a 'pot of gold' at the end.

"Maybe we can find a lepra – leper…what's it called again, sissy?"

"Leprechaun." Lacy corrected Damion.

"Yeah, maybe we find one?"

"That would be awesome!" Ellie chimed in, clasping her hands together and jumping up and down excitedly.

Lacy gave a small chuckle, taking both of their hands as they exited the pavilion, heading down to the park entrance.

She felt that she didn't have the heart to tell them that leprechaun's weren't real.

And, just as they had left, they weren't aware of a certain police bike located over at the other end watching them, a worried expression on his face as he lifted his hand up to the ear piece on his helmet.

"Hey Billy, I spotted three children leaving a park." Jake says quietly, "Two girls and a boy. The oldest looks to be in their teens, while the other two are around six, give or take."

"Well, it is a park, Jake," Billy reminded him, "They probably got stuck out in the rain."

"I don't know," Jake continued, feeling even more unsettled than before. "I doubt it, Billy. Something doesn't add up right."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because the oldest one out of the three is limping."

Matt Medic took over communications next as he spoke, his soft voice filtering through the earpiece. "Perhaps they were playing and she got hurt."

"That could be a possibility, Matt, but then why do they have backpacks on?"

"Could be a variety different reasons, Jake." Billy replied.

"I think Jake's suspicions are correct, Billy." Wendy interjected next, "Maybe they ran away from home?"

"That's a stretch, isn't it?" A pause, "Oh, alright. There could be a slight possibility. Jake assess the situation and report back in when you find out what's going on."

"Got it, Billy. Roger that."

Lacy pauses for a split moment, noticing the sound of a motorcycle coming towards them and when she turns, seeing that it wasn't a civilian one, but one belonging to a police officer. Panic sets in as she tells Ellie and Damion to start running.

Adrenaline runs through her veins, the pain in her ankle dulling considerably as she begins sprinting to try and catch up with her siblings.

She hears the bike screech to a halt, followed by a voice shouting at her, "Wait! Come back."

"Command Center this is Jake, I have the kids in my sight, but I think they must be afraid of the police."

"Why do you think that?" Ariel asks.

"I believe she told the other two kids something before they started to run, then she did as well." Jake exclaimed.

"Hmm." Rocky begins, "Why would they be acting like that?"

"Hard to say." Billy says, shrugging, "Jake, just try and coax them into talking to you. Report back once you do and bring them back to the Command Center."

"Sure thing, Billy."

Meanwhile, Lacy and her siblings never realized that they had run so far away from the park that they noticed that they'd found their way to the entrance gate of the Rescue Heroes Command Center.

With the adrenaline slowly beginning to fade from the girl's system, but the shaking in her limbs was still there. Lacy was breathing heavily, and she was starting to limp again when they stopped running.

"Lacy, do you think that the people who live here will help us?" Ellie asks, taking a glance behind as she reaches up and taking Lacy's hand. Lacy gave a reassuring squeeze.

"I sure hope so."

Dizziness made Lacy falter in her steps as they started to walk through the gate and up the drive. She leaned against one of the trucks just as her breathing was coming out ragged and her vision was darkening around the edges.

"Lace?"

"Sis?"

"I'm…I'm…" Lacy mumbled, but this spell was incredibly strong, and she collapses onto the ground. Lacy could vaguely make out the terrified screams coming from her siblings as she fights against the blackness that wanted to swallow her whole, but at this point, it was futile.

Jake's eyes widened when he sees that the eldest had collapsed. He revs his engine, making his way as quickly as possible up the drive, stopping only a few feet away, watching the children act the same way Simba had in The Lion King when he couldn't wake his father up. In this instance, both small kids held onto her arm and lifted it, crawling underneath and allowing her arm to encase them in what seemed like a lifeless hug.

They were sobbing when Jake carefully walked over to them. "Billy, I found the kids, but I'll need help bringing them inside." lifted her arm and crawled underneath, sobbing as they hugged their sister.

"Billy, I found the kids, but I don't have to bring them to the Command Center."

"Why is that?"

"Because the children had found their way here." Jake explains, "I'll need help bringing them in as the oldest child is unconscious."
