Day 3: Evie's POV
~*~*~*~
"I really really lick you. I mean like you." - Rafe McCawly in 'Pearl Harbor'
~*~*~*~
You wouldn't believe this, but my husband has the ability to turn a shade of red rarely seen on most humans. And not only does he have that ability, but he also possess the ability to rant and rave with the best of them. Curious? You wouldn't be if you heard him yelling and turn said color of red. Granted part of it was my fault for horrible timing, but I don't think I deserved ALL of the credit.
Okay I'm getting on with it. So we were stuck in a vault. And granted I was a little angry with him for allowing Cal to get us stuck in here. But honestly, in all that fray it is understandable that I would forget that the only way to lock this vault was if you had a key. Which was in my pocket. So we were stuck in a smelly vault without our son and Cal running loose for five hours. I felt bad enough as it was.
I'm trying to get past this I am. So I was about to nod off to sleep when it hits me. We jump and run to the vault door to open it. Well apparently... I get the giggles every time I think about it... Cal was on his way in to get us. And well the vault door hit my husband square in the face. I know it hurt and I felt horrible for him, but you have to admit it was quite funny.
Well as soon as Cal saw he hit Rick he had his friend, Dan, grab me. I bit the man. I don't appreciate being manhandled by anyone! Not even Rick. Of course when he 'manhandles' me it's different and slightly... not the point. My biting him made him howl out in pain and gave me the chance to hit him square in the face. Rick's lessons were paying off well. And when Cal saw what I did he became slightly nervous. He really shouldn't have worried about me though.
Because he was the one that hit my husband with a vault door. Which once Rick got his bearings straight slugged Cal. And then demanded to know where Alex was. I know I've told him a hundred times that you can't 'shoot' and ask questions after, but I let up this time because after all Cal got him. Since Cal was moaning on the floor and couldn't answer Rick turned to Dan. Dan was nice enough to answer his question.
Apparently my son was located in a crate in the east wing which is currently being renovated. I quickly went in search of Alex while Rick stayed behind and kept Cal and Dan company. I found my son seven minutes later asleep. That was good at least he didn't suffer too much. I picked him up and carried him back to where Rick was. My son can stay up for hours but when he is sleeping there is just no waking him.
Rick had me call the police which I did and they came and got Cal and Dan. It was past midnight at that point and that was when I pointed out the fact that I won for yesterday. I say it was bad timing because he was having his nose wrapped up and the doctor accidentally hit him. And then he started on his tirade which woke Alex and now we are finally driving back to the house.
~*~
Finally it is Wednesday evening. Not a normal day. We started it by coming home after being locked up by Cal. After that we all went to sleep in our own beds and didn't wake up until 8:00 that morning. Which of course made Alex late, but we let it go since our son had been tied up the evening before. Not that we would tell the school this. They would think we were unfit parents and that simply isn't true. We're just not your normal parents.
So we went back to the Museum to see what damage had been caused and found nothing seriously disturbed. It seems that in order for Cal to need the map as to where we were going he needed my help. Which was the reason he was coming to get us. Criminals and those of the insane nature should really learn that they will never win. They always get theirs in the end. I've proved this over and over.
After all damage was assessed we gave our statement to the nice policeman and went back to finishing up what we had started yesterday. It was blissfully quiet and we only left for lunch once. Of course things were bound to happen when we left. They always do. Rick shouldn't be surprised. It seems something had happened at school with Alex.
So we went to the school. Unfortunately they know us well. A little too well, Estella, the school secretary and I are good friends. So we took our normal place right outside the office and looked at the parents next to us. We've met many couples through our visits here. We nodded at them and they nodded nervously back. I hadn't seen them before so this must mean that Alex has made a new enemy.
Rick just put his arm around me and reassured me that we would not kill Alex and would try our best to get through to him. The same speech, but still made me feel better. Then Principal Flutie stuck his head out and beckoned us in. The other couple started to look very nervous, I wanted to calm them down, but there just wasn't time.
Now once we got inside I was surprised. Because Alex was there, but he didn't have that sheepish look on his face that he gets when he knows he's in trouble. And instead of a little boy next to him there was a little girl. Oh my! That was most certainly not normal. Now I was starting to get nervous. "Rick and Evelyn O' Connell I would like you to meet Sharon and Oliver Osborne." We looked at each other and shook hands. "Now I have called you in because it seems we were having a little difficulty. Sarah why don't you tell us what happened." he instructed the little girl. She stood up, she was about Alex's age, with blonde hair and big blue eyes. She was cute as she could be, and I had to wonder what Alex had done to her.
"Well, my friends and I were wondering what it was like to kiss a boy. And all of my other friends had already found one to kiss but me. So I saw Alex and asked him if I could kiss him..." she paused and so did my heart, "But he said no. And I didn't want to be the only girl who hadn't kissed someone and so I kissed him anyway. And that was when our teacher saw us." she explained. I didn't realize I had let out a breath until Rick gave me a look.
All I could think was thank God. It wasn't Alex's fault this time. I felt horrible for thinking so, but after so many times where he starts the fight it was nice for once that he didn't. Luckily we settled it with an apology and Sarah now has to help clean after school tomorrow.
See now what was normal about that? Nothing I tell you, nothing. However, like it was any big guess, Rick doesn't see it that way.
Until tomorrow.

So how was that? There was some action there, but this is Evelyn's POV. I'm a thinkin' that Rick's might have a little more oomph! to it. Guess we'll have to wait and see. :)
Thank-you all for the reviews! I love them so much!
