***Chapter 2***
Dragon Child



I came to the apartment. "Dilde, let me in! It's Hurricane!" I heard something that sounded like, "Weeeee! Bouncy Bouncy, bang, boom weeeeeeeeee!"

"Oh god. Dilde let me in. Now!"

The door opened. A small look-alike of Sai Saichi opened the door. "Hi, Hi, Hurra! I was bouncy (bouncing) on mommy's trampoline"

" Trampoline? Cecil has a trampoline? Wait you don't mean..."

I ran past the young girl. I ran into the room where Cecil usually worked on her quilts. One of them had a stick in each corner and had a hole in the middle of it. "Dilde!"

"I'm right here!" the little nine year old looked up to me and had a chester-cat grin on her face.

"Dilde, why did you do this?" I said.

Dilde looked up to me with big, teary eyes. "I don't know!" she said.

"What is Sai Saichi going to think about this?" I asked.

Dilde asked, "Who is Sai Saichi?"

I answered, "Your Dad! Do you want me to call him?"

Dilde shook her head no. She was afraid of her dad.

I thought to myself, "Sai Saichi is paying me fifty bucks to watch over this girl for an hour? That isn't fair! It's blackmail!"
