It's been a week since Ruth left Ryouzanpaku. Ruth has felt the familiar cold, empty feeling that came being alone again. The only time does she feel any warmth came from being at school with her friends. "you have to do it. Just dial the number and ask her. That simple" She said to herself as she paced around her room. "here I go" she said as she dialed the number, in the first ring it was answered.

"Rue?!"asked a sweetly voice

"Yes". She replied

"This is a pleasant surprise what do-" the voice said.

"I need her to sign a paper that I have faxed toher." interrupted Ruth.

"Direct like always"the voice said happily.

"Will you tell her"

"I'll tell her and give to you as soon as possible"

"Thanks"

"You're welcome Rue"the voice said before Ruth hanged up.

Ruth stared at her phone with an unease feeling in the pit of her stomach. She knew her parents, her pa would surely sign the permission but her mom would be an unknown factor. And she knew if she had her stepdad sign without tell her mom. It wouldn't end well for any of them.

Still staring at her phone she said "Better call Pa, just in case".


In a corporate office in another country.

"Who was it Danielle" asked a voice.

"It was your daughter Mrs. Roth" replied Danielle

"What did she want" asked Mrs. Roth

"She want you to sign this paper" said Danielle handing her the paper.

Hmm … Danielle I want you to go to this Ryouzanpaku. See if it is fit for her to be there. If it is give her paper otherwise don't. Do give them thank you giftfor taking care of my daughter" she said handing her the signed paper.

"Yes, Mrs. Roth" said Danielle bowing before leaving.

She caress the picture of Ruth that sat on her desk; thinking of a time when her baby girl smiled so sweetly at her. "Her smiles now showed that hint of sadness and pain that she feels' thought Mrs. Roth."My sweet baby where have you gone to now. Mother will always protect you as well as crushwhat every triesto hurt you" she said glaring at the file with the word exterminated on it that were on her desk. In the file there was papers about three individuals with the a large, red x marked on their photos.

"Mrs. Roth, your husband is here"

"Let him in"

"Yes Ma'am"


Thomas Roth walked in to his wife's office. Like usual she was busy working on project to make another move to expand her influence or at least that what he expected. Instead he found her holding the photo frame of their daughter.

"Ana what worry is on your head this time" he said walking toward her. He knew when his wife held the picture of their daughter that she was worrying about something.

"Oh Tom, what don't I worry about? Have I been too cold? Have I been to overbearing? Am I give her too little or too much attention?" she asks placing the frame back on her desk.

"My dear I know how much you love her. And I know how much she love you" he replies caressing her cheek.

"I know but I have always told her what I do is for her own good. I just never seem to be able to control myself when it come to her." she says leaning against him.

"I know so does she. She knows all to well. Our little teddy, so clever it hurts her. That's why you try to protect her but we can't protect her of everything. We can only do so much",he said looking at the exterminated file on her desk. 'What fool has conger my wife's wrath upon them?' he thought.

"Dear, I got a call from our daughter a while ago asking me if I could see if you're going to sign permission to live with a friend of herself."

"So she call you for backup. You never could deny our little teddy." He chuckled on that comment

I have signed it but I am have Danielle see if that place is fit for her."

"That's true but teddy rarely asks us for things. I wish to spoil her with everything I have, so do you. And maybe I should go with Danielle. I haven't see teddy in long time" he said. He could literally count time she asked him for something with one hand.

"I know and that unfair you get to spend time with her while I'm stuck in the office. But then again one of us should also go see her"she replied. She quickly call Danielle informing her the changes to her order.

"I wonder if I should call her. No best to give her a surprise. Thanks dear" he said give her kiss.

Ana looked at her happy husband and sighed. She knew that he was worried about Ruth's well being much like her. He helped her from going overboard about their daughter but from time to time he would also go bit overboard. Especially when it came to give her things. They were two doting parent for sure.
