On the ship the day Zee, Charley and Detective Williams left.

"We are on auto pilot now girls. Its gonna be smooth sailing from here. Charely if you would go ahead and get some sleep. Detective can I talk to you for a few and then I'll show you where you'll be bunking?" Zerelda was short the detective thought. And she talks and is a mouse? Charley looks just like me and human. Why was Fred calling her and I a mouse. And why is this woman mouse creature staring at me like that?

"Sure."

"so can I ask what your name is and how old are you?" She is staring at me like that again. What is with those damn doughnuts I ate!

"I'm 25 and the youngest Detective in my department or was until tonight. My name is Det. Williams."

"Yes but what is your full name?"

"Zemoda Mave Williams, can I ask you something?"

"Anything"

"What the hell is going on. I don't understand any of this."

"You sure you want the truth?"

"YES!"

"Ok brace your self. Your about to go on a mind trip from hell." Then with that she leaned closer and touched her antannaes to the detective's face.

With that the Detective received the shock of her life. Looking at Zerelda in tear filled eyes she fought back a sob.

"If we had known there was any chance at all that you were alive we would have came for you. I don't know what to say other than we would have searched until we found you. I am sorry I wasn't there to protect you, or hold you when you needed me. Your hair has me and your father in it. You have the eyes of an angel and your daddy's height."

"What are you saying? I am so confused right now"

Sighing as she reached up and moved a lock of hair behind the detectives ear. With a sad smile and tears of joy in her eyes "Welcome home my daughter.."
