Gordon watched the others leave the room, "we really screwed up Alan."
"Yep. We truly did. Oh well, we'll just have to improvise prizes."
Kayo walked up the back path to the garden and sensed she was being followed, "still keeping up with me Virgil?"
"How did you know it was me?"
"Heavy footfall, also you were right behind me in the lounge," Kayo smirked looking back over her shoulder.
"Fair enough."
"Something on your mind?" Kayo sat down on the grass and began picking daisies.
Virgil joined her on the grass, "yeah, in a way. I was just thinking about the rescue today, and your actions."
"Okay, please don't be Scott here, I know I shouldn't have got into that robot suit and attacked the claw."
"No that was fine, if you hadn't done that those people would've died. You were really brave today Kayo and you didn't hesitate at all, I just wonder if something has changed in you?"
"You think I've changed?"
"A little. You've gained more independence, but you also listen to us a lot more too."
Kayo smiled, "well you said I was family. And Scott is always breaking his own rules to save me. But if I have to risk our lives saving Fischler again, I might lose it."
"You're not the only one, I was this close to screaming at him the other day. But today was a relief just having a stand-alone rescue, with no mess."
"Only a claw with its own personality."
Virgil laughed, "yes, but you dealt with it successfully."
Kayo sighed and leaned back against Virgil's knees looking up at the sky, "what's our next adventure I wonder?"
"Adventure?"
"Rescue. You know what I mean," Kayo smiled up at him.
"I don't know, but if it involves the three stooges I might not be so nice when rescuing them."
Kayo laughed as she gazed back at him, "I'll get them for you."
Virgil lifted his knee slightly, jolting her with a smirk, "thanks, sis."
