beginings

After cleaning the kennels the two fifteen year olders decided to play catch, they were both on baseball teams and wanted to test their skills. "So Will, do you have any pets?" Maisey asked while she watched her dog Kittand sniff around the yard. She had learned this morning her dog had been trained like she had. Kittand would protect her if she needed it, she could hunt down anything by smell, she was trained to comfort her owner, and like her owner the little black and white Shit Zu looked innocent, not capable to hurt a fly. Will froze, he blanked out, and answered non emotinaly,"I did, Before my parents died, or moved or whatever happened to them." She wondered if they took an "L" Pill or a lethal pill that some agents would rather take and die from than be captured, she said with sympathy, "Oh, I'm sorry," but he cut her off almost rudely, before she could finish, "Don't be, Salamon raised me, I barely knew them." She said,"Oh, well is he nice?" trying to change the subject but he didn't answer her, didn't throw the baseball, and if you asked Maisey she'd say he didn't even blink but then again she was standing seventy feet away, it was pitch black outisde being 11:55pm. After yelling across the back yard she judged it'd be best to walk over and see what was wrong with him.

She wondered what she could have done to make him react like this, she realized it must have been his parents. She tapped him on the shoulder, whistled as loud as she could, and asked in a concerned voice, "Will? you ok?" still nothing, he looked like he was thinking of someplace else, looking over her head frowning. he was remembering when they told him his parents died, it was 13 years ago but he remembered... he was playing with his nerf gun shooting the targets on his wall when a man came in and said he was his uncle, he thought this strange he asked his uncle where his parents went because he woke up this morning with them gone, the man didnt sugar coat it he straight out told the two yearold,"dead." She didn't want to do this, being trained like she was, like he was, she remembered at summer camp when her counseler Jenny tryed to wake her up for breakfast and she perceived Jenny as an attacker and punched her in the face, the rest of the week Jenny had Taylor wake her up; she decided it was neccessary though. Maisey lightly slapped him, he snapped back from where ever he was and through the ball. Maisey was fast, but standing as close as she was she wasn't fast enough, the ball hit her square in the fourhead. When Maisey came to she was laying in the frozen grass, she heard Kitand barking, Will telling her to be quiet while thanking maisey for getting up. He pulled her up off the ground and into his arms, he hugged her and said, "Margeret, I'm so sorry. I didn't even see you there honest." She answered embaressed for passing out, " Will don't worry about it. It didn't even hurt." but he must not have heard her because he just kept apologizing.

That's when she heard the back door close and Patrick ask,"You have the letters?" Jane answered yes. Will and Maisey froze and went silent. Maisey wasn't sure but she didn't think her dad would be to happy seeing her like she was so she pulled out of his arms. "Do you have your fake pass ports?" Jane asked. "yup" pat answered. "How about the disguises?" again he answered yes. They walked into the back yard and saw there daughter playing catch with their old friends' son. "Hey, Mom, Dad, where are you going?" Patrick went and checked his dogs, Jane told her daughter they needed to talk. As Maisey jogged to where her momwas standing she wondered if she had seen her and Will, Jane taught Maisey and Madison not to get attached to anything, or anyone. "Maisey I need you to watch your back, don't trust anyone but yourself. We're leaving." her daughter was confused, she thought she'd have at least a few more days in the town she grew up in, she stuttered, "mmmmk?" her mom looked her in the eyes and said, "your father and I are leaving. Paul and Madison already left." Will asked with concern,"where did they go?" Maisey hadn't even heard him aproach now he was standing close beside her, she wondered if her mom ment to not trust him either. Jane said flatly,"I can't tell you, it would ruin their safety. They could be listening right asked,"Who's they?" her mom answered coldly,"The agency" when Maisey was going to ask what her mother ment she just shook her head showing that the conversation was done. Jane handed her the envelopes and when her husband returned they hugged their daughter and left by jumping the neighbors fence heading south without another word and only a back pack it was Maisey's turn to blank out. Will took her hand and guided her into the house he'd gone through this same feeling being abandoned now they would have a new begining. In her room she opened the letters. Envelope #1 read:

Maisey if you don't know yet your mother and I have left, so has Madison. I can't tell you where. In the next envelope labeled #2 is where you'll be going, with Will. Once you've read the letter burn it. tomorrow the agency will be searching for anything that will help them find you. Envelope #3 is a mission for you to do when you don't feel safe in your new place, don't read it tell mother and I love you very much good luck, don't get rolled up ok?

Patrick Jay

Envelope #2: all that was inside was an address, a car key, and a house key. Maisey got up and grabbed her duffel bag from the top shelf, put the last letter in the inside pocket she turned around and saw Will standing in the door way reading the letter that she left on her bed. "Do you need any help?" he asked her. She shook her head, she didn't feel stable on her feet. There where big questions floating around in her head fighting for her attention, she was getting a head ache. Would she ever see madison again? she remembered when she was younger they had promised each other they'd do anything to keep each other safe and now she didn't even get to say good bye. Should she bring Kitty with, or leave her here? she didn't want to answer them she brushed past him in the doorway, he followed her to the kitchen where she took two ibeprophans and poured herself a glass of chocolate milk to wash them down with. "want anything to eat?" she asked. "yes. The food on the plane didn't look so good so I havn't eaten for like 12 hours, no big deal or anything." she smiled and asked "pizza ok?" He answered,"sure." While the pizza cooked she packed her bag and played music on her ihome. she knew they'd have to leave soon.
