The day had gone by smoothly. Erik had made new friends, Desri and Chevelle, and he was actually being treated like a real person by someone other than Madame Giry. He had noticed after second period though that Desri's normal shyness had changed into a tense guilty silence. He was somewhat worried, since this was his new friend, but decided it wasn't his buisieness and didn't want to ruin a friendship for a stupid urge to ask what was wrong.
He walked into the house that he shared with Madam Giry and Meg, her 3 year old daughter, which he considered hsi little sister. Madame Giry sat on the couch watching a 'Learn to Count' video with Meg. Meg looked to the door to see Erik come in and ran over. "Erik! Guess what i can do" She said in a impish voice as Erik smiled down at the child patting her head.
He crouched down infrotn of her setting his bookbag beside him as he watched her count. "One...Two...Three...Five...Four... Six...Seven" She explaimed and Erik laughed.
"Meg dear, it's: one, two, three, four, five." Madame Giry corrected ehr young daughter and walked over as Meg pouted and ran into the kitchen to sneak a few cookies while her mother began to talk with Erik.
Erik stood up picking up his backpack as he walked over to the couch with Madame Giry behind him. They btoh sat down with a sigh and looked at eachother. "So how did school go" Madame Giry asked and patted his knee as she saw the worry on his face.
Erik started thinking of how Desri had become so distant after second period, but when he noticed Madame Giry's concerned face looking upon him he smiled back at her. "It was great. I made two new friends and there really nice." He said smiling and Madame Giry's face grew into more happier emotions rather than worried glances.
Erik continued to tell her all the dislikes and likes that he had of his new enviroment. Meg came in crawling onto Erik's lap and lsitened asking questions about what he was saying. He didn't even notice the loan face looking in through the window out to their right. There is where Desri stood. Worried face ever present. Feelings a stir as she looked upon her new friend which she had felt a special connection with since she met him. Knowing he had a part in the plan of her boss.
All Darrel had really said was that it had something to do with Erik, and that the boss would tell her the rest of the information later when she came to him. She was supposed to meet him that night actually. This was making her rather uneasy. 'If they ask me to hurt him I dont know if i could go through with it.' She thought to herself now turning away from the happy family inside the home and walking down the street.
Should she tell Chevelle? No. That was deffinately a bad idea. Chevelle was rather smart under her happy-go-lucky mood she always seemed to have. Her father was a famous scientist and she was also his apprentace. Chevelle was heer bestfriend and she couldn't even tell her. Why? Because Chevelle had been the one the talk her into leaving the gang in the first place. No, this was something she had to do alone.
