Chapter 2
Boyd stormed to his room in a fit of anger.
" How could Steph just welcome her back like that?" Boyd asked himself, setting his toast down on the desk, and kicking the bed. This did nothing to relieve his anger, but only gave him a very stubborn pain in his toe. He stared out of the window, and spotted Janae who ran over.
" Hey cutie, what's wrong?" Janae asked Boyd, sensing that he was very annoyed.
" Oh, nothing, only Steph's just welcomed Kayla back with open arms," Boyd's voice was angry.
" No! She ruined your lives." Janae was getting angry too.
" Tell me about it" Boyd moaned. Janae kissed him, until a smile came onto his face.
In the living room, Steph was holding Ashley while Summer made Kayla some breakfast.
Ashley thought she could recognise this person. She smelled nice and always sang to me, the baby thought, playing with Steph's big necklace to aid her concentration. And this place is nice and bright, not dark and leaky like the other house.
Summer came over with some toast. Ashley smelled the aroma and, feeling hungry, began to cry. Kayla rushed over.
" Is she hungry ?" Steph asked frantically.
"At the hostel, she would eat toast, so try her with that, " Kayla answered.
Sure enough, Steph broke one of Summer's slices into baby sized bits, and offered it to Ashley. She took it with a chubby fist, and stuffed it into her mouth.
" So Kayla, when did you see this?" Steph was a bit distracted by the baby in her arms, who was now munching toast.
" When I was coming in to Erinsbourough, I took the shortcut through the wood. It tried to take Ashley from her stroller."
Steph gave Ashley to Summer, and went to the phone. She took it into the next room, and reappeared ten minutes later.
" Who were you on the phone to?" Kayla inquired.
" The FBI."
Later that night Ashley was lying in her cot, and Kayla was sleeping on the couch. Ashley was tired but she was so excited about being in a house wasn't leaking and didn't have mice, that she couldn't sleep. Eventually her eyes closed
Next morning, schools were on holiday for a week, so Summer was around.
She and Kayla were playing with Ashley, so they didn't hear the door.
Steph answered.
" Agents Mulder and Scully. FBI"
