Chapter 4: The reunion
Kira's POV:
I came downstairs to see Rocky passed out on the couch. Smiling, I walked over to her and that's when my smile disappeared from my face. Her right cheek and arm were covered in scratches, blood oozing out of them, the right leg of her jeans were also cut up and stained wet with more blood. I shook her awake and cleaned her wounds as she laid there helplessly, her face twisting in pain. "You need to get to school. Take it easy and I'll see you at 8."I said throwing away the blood stained cotton balls into the trash can. "Why? There hasn't been a mission assigned for today." She said, with pain and confusion present in her voice.
I let a small chuckle escape my lips,"Rocky, I'll be meeting the new neighbors tonight or have you forgotten?" Rocky shot a look at me and tried to stand up. Groaning in pain she crashed back onto the couch," Ahhhh. I c-can't move."
Being the worried mother I was, I had to let Rocky stay off school. After half helping, half dragging Rocky up the stairs, I finally got her into her room and laid her on her bed. I sat down at the table in the dining room and looked at the clock, 10:47, I had a long time before going next door. So I decided to head to the Organization Headquarters and ask Beverly if she would extend the deadline for Rocky's mission report, seeing as she could hardly move.
7:49
Finally it was time to meet the new family but before I did I had to check on Rocky. I peeked my head around the door to see her in a deep sleep. Satisfied, I left the house and began the short walk to the house next door. I knocked three times and a few seconds later a familiar voice came from the other side. "Hold on I'm coming!" No wait, it couldn't be! Could it?
The door opened to reveal that I remembered fondly. Georgia Jones!
Both of us were frozen in are spots before we pulled each other into a tight hug. Georgia burst into tears,"I don't believe this. Kira what are you doing here?" I laughed as she pulled away from me." Isn't it obvious Georgia? I live next door!"
She smiled and was about to say something before being cut off by another voice that I recognized immediately. Soon enough the bubbly, crazy and fun loving girl known as Cece Jones came running up with a worried expression for her mother. "Mom are you... Mrs Blue?! No way!" She jumped up and hugged me, laughing and crying at the same time. I wrapped my arms around the ginger haired girl in return.
After all the tears were shed and a really long talk I decided that it was time for me to leave. I checked my phone and gasped at what it said, 10:16pm! I told them I had to go and left. I walked back into my own house to find my husband sat on the couch with Rocky leaning her head on his shoulder. I was about to speak before he put his index finger to his lips, signaling me to be quiet. I realized why when Rocky let out a light snore causing a smile to grow across my face. I walked around and sat on the couch trying not to make a sound and began to stroke the young girl's hair. I looked over at Craig and told him the news. His mouth must have hit the floor when I said Georgia's name. Craig soon regained his senses and said," I just had a brilliant idea! We should give Rocky a fake assignment to go next door so she finds Cece." That really was a brilliant idea and so we stayed up all night, discussing on how we were going to do this.
