When Tom Moore read his email he quickly jumped up and grabbed his keys
from the desk and ran out of the room. Not even caring about
security measures he usually took, he drove directly to Natasha's home.
The ride there was irritable filled with honking and yelling, most
from him, because of the usual New York bustling traffic at noon. When
he finally reached Natasha's home he slammed open the door and put his hand
on his gun, just in case.
"Gaia!" He yelled while racing up the stairs. Natasha jumped out of her room shocked at Tom's behavior.
"What's wrong?" Natasha said, her gun already in her hands.
"Where's Gaia?" he asked feverishly.
"She didn't come home last night, but that's not uncommon. I just assumed everything was all right. A floorboard creaked and they both looked towards it. Tatiana stood in her bedroom doorway wiping sleep from her eyes.
"Check Ed's, or maybe Heather's. She might have had to stay there the night," Tatiana said trying to help Tom in any way.
"Do you know how to get there?" Tatiana nodded quickly and Tom grabbed onto her wrist and started to pull her towards the door, "Natasha, stay here just in case she comes home. If she does, take her to the hospital then call me." And then he was out the door with Tatiana dragging behind him.
"Ed's is the closest." Tatiana began giving him directions to Ed's in Russian, knowing he would understand. Now was not the time to stumble over the English language. Tom threw the car into park, told Tatiana to stay in and leaped out of the car, not caring that the red paint covered the edge of the sidewalk where he was parked. He leapt the stairs that led to the door and ran to the nearest stairway. Third floor, faster if I just take the stairs, Tom thought. He leapt three stairs at a time, finally making it to the third floor. He slammed the door open and it thudded against the wall when he was already half way down the hallway. 312, 314, 316.318! He kicked down the door with experience and ran towards the closed door after finding each bedroom forebodingly empty. He turned the knob and pushed it open and his heart nearly stopped at what he found. His daughter, his baby, who he changed diapers for and kissed owies for.was so very naked under the sheets with a guys arm around her.
"Gaia! What the hell do you think your doing?"
"Gaia!" He yelled while racing up the stairs. Natasha jumped out of her room shocked at Tom's behavior.
"What's wrong?" Natasha said, her gun already in her hands.
