KC's POV
I finished putting up the music equipment at Topanga's. She changed the Friday hours to 9am to 3pm, so it'd make it easier to get Aaron from school and Brooklyn from the babysitter (whoever it is that day). Farkle left a little before closing to pick up Aaron. I'll be picking up Brooklyn from Rachel's after this.
I walked up to the counter, where my mom was sitting. She was looking at a photo album.
"Hey, what are you up to?" I asked.
"Oh, looking at old baby pictures of you," she said.
"I didn't know you had those," I said.
"I found them in a box when your dad, the kids, and I moved into out new apartment a couple of months ago."
"Can I see?" I asked.
"Of course," she said. I went around to the back of the counter. I saw a picture of mom holding me.
"Who took this picture?" I asked.
"Your grandma, Angela?"
"Why have I never actually met her?"
"You have met her, you just don't remember," she said. "The last time you saw her was when you were four. She and your grandpa stay in Arkansas, mostly. They don't really like New York very much."
"Why have we never taken a trip to see them?"
"Well, we just really haven't had much time," she said. "We could try to go this summer, if you'd like."
"Who's that?" I pointed at a picture.
"That… is your other grandmother," she said.
"Anthony's mother?" I asked. "Why do you have a picture of her?"
"It was from her funeral," she said. I looked at her.
"What was her name?"
"Carmela," she said.
"You named me after her?"
"Yes," she said.
"I kind of look like her," I said.
"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing," she said. "She was a very nice woman. She told me to leave Anthony. She also told me to keep you."
"Did she know what he did to you?"
"She suspected it, but I never actually told her," she said. "But even she knew no one would believe it because somehow he made people think he was an 'angel sent from Heaven'. He disrespected her in front of me. She knew he'd assaulted his previous girlfriends and he went to juvie."
"Why can we talk about him so easily now?" I asked.
"Maybe because he can't hurt us again," she guessed.
"I should probably go get Brooklyn," I said. I left Topanga's.
Riley's POV
Do we have everything ready for tomorrow morning?" I asked Andrew.
"Yes," he said. "I triple checked everything."
"Could we walk around New York tonight?"
"Yes," he said. "I'll get Penny ready."
Maya's POV
Josh drove through Philadelphia, looking for a new place to eat. I looked over at him.
"How was work today?" I asked.
"A kid ran away, so we had to investigate the family," he said.
"What did you guys find out?" I asked.
"We're still investigating."
My phone started going off. It was another Amber Alert.
"What's it say?" Josh asked.
"A six year old girl was abducted from her house," I said.
"That's like the third one this month, isn't it?"
I looked back at Christian, sleeping in his car seat.
"Yeah," I said.
"Hey, don't worry," he said. "He'll be fine."
"Okay," I said. "Where do you want to eat?" I asked.
"I don't know," he said.
"And they say women can't decide," I joked.
We both started laughing.
The Next Day
KC's POV
Farkle and I walked into Topanga's and set up the equipment.
"Hey everybody," I said into the mic. "So, my sister texted me last night telling me that there has been another child abduction in Pennsylvania. I was abducted by my father when I was five years old. I was able to find my way home thirteen years later, but not everyone is that fortunate. This is 'All These Lives' by Daughtry."
Doesn't come down when she calls/ "It's time for breakfast."/ Mama can't get down those halls/ Fast enough to see/ Glass is sprayed across the floor/ From the broken window/ She can't breathe anymore/ Can't deny what we know/
(They're gonna find you) They're gonna find you, just believe/ (You're not a person) You're not a person; you're a disease
All these lives that you've been taking/ Deep inside, my heart is breaking/ Broken homes from separation/ Don't you know it's violation?/ It's so wrong, but you'll see/ Never gonna let you take my world from me/ The world outside these walls may know you're breathing/ But you ain't comin' in (But you ain't comin' in)
Posters hung on building walls/ Of missing faces/ Months go by without the calls
The clues, or traces
(They're gonna find you) They're gonna find you, just believe/ (You're not a person) You're not a person; you're a disease
All these lives that you've been taking/ Deep inside, my heart is breaking/ Broken homes from separation/ Don't you know it's violation?/ It's so wrong, but you'll see/ Never gonna let you take my world from me/ The world outside these walls may know you're breathing/ But you ain't comin' in
Shed the light on all the ones who never thought they would become/ A father, mother, asking why this world can be so cold
Doesn't come down when she calls/ "It's time for breakfast."/ The memories begin to fall/ She asks, "When will I be free?"
All these lives that you've been taking/ Deep inside, my heart is breaking/ Broken homes from separation/ Don't you know it's violation?/ It's so wrong, but you'll see/ Never gonna let you take my world from me/ The world outside these walls may know you're breathing/ But you ain't comin' in
All these lives that you've been taking/ Deep inside, my heart is breaking/ (You ain't comin' in)/All these lives that you've been taking/ Deep inside, my heart is breaking/ (You ain't comin' in)/ All these lives that you've been taking/ Deep inside, my heart is breaking/ The world outside these walls may know you're breathing/ The world outside these walls may know you're breathing/ But you ain't comin' in
Riley's POV
We had our car packed and went to say bye to mom, dad, and Auggie. We stopped by Topanga's to say bye to Farkle and KC. Then we hit the road and headed to our new home in Pennsylvania.
