Charity, Joan, and Luke climbed out of Kevin's car. Helen and Will followed behind in their car. They walked up the steps and Clayton maneuvered them to the backyard.
"Briana, Officer Girardi is here with his family," Clayton said, catching the little girl's attention.
Briana gasped when she saw Joan and Charity. She ran over and jumped up into Charity's arms. "Charity! Joan! You made it!" she said.
"You know them?" Will asked.
"Charity told me everything would be ok," Briana said. "And she and Joan took care of me until you came."
Will, Helen, Luke, and Kevin exchanged glances with one another and Clayton. "Let me introduce you to everyone else," he volunteered.
Joan, Charity, and Briana stood around with each other for a little while. "Briana, we're not angels," she said.
"Yes you are," Briana said. "God sent you to take care of me. He sent you to protect me and to rescue me." Briana smiled.
Charity looked at Joan. "I guess, God did send us. Right, Joan?" she asked.
"Yeah," Joan said.
Charity put Briana down. "Come on, I want you to meet my new mommy and sister," she said. She grabbed Charity and Joan's hand and led them over to Tracy and Jo.
