Episode 2: Similar Faces

A young brunette girl frowned as she arrived at her apartment, the Moore Detective Agency. She was hoping to wait for Jimmy to walk home for him, and she had waited, for a little while, but...

"I'll catch up with you later!"

Those were the last words she heard from him....why did she feel so strange when she saw him running off like that? Shaking the thought off, she walked into her home and straight over to the phone at the desk in which her drunk father, Richard Moore, was sitting.

She dialed a number, and after a few rings, her frown deepened. "Hi, you've reached the residence of Jimmy Kudo..."

She sighed and put the phone back down on the hook. "Not home yet..."

"This just in: a young boy has been found injured at the Tropical Land amusement park." The TV was flashing, and it instantly had her attention after that. Young boy....no.. "The boy is being treated at the hospital...."

More was said, she didn't get a name, but that was all it took for Rachel to rush out of their once again, startling her father.

Jimmy...please don't... she thought as she ran as fast as her feet could take her to the hospital. When she arrived, she walked over to the nurses desk, her heart pounding and panting.

"Can I help you, miss?" a nurse asked kindly.

"I...I need to see the boy that was just advertised on the news,'' Rachel said out of breath, and the nurse looked at her strangely. "He's....a very close friend of mine."

"I'm sorry miss...but only family members are-"

"Look, his parents are all the way across the world, and I'm the closest thing he's got right now!" she said, getting irritated. If it was who she thought it was....

"Ahh...yes..." She looked at some charts for a moment before looking back up at Rachel. "Second floor, room five."

Rachel immediately took off, her heart still pounding. Please, Jimmy....its not you, right?

When she got to the room however, she was very surprised. It was not who she thought it was. It was a young boy as they said, but very young, around the age of seven maybe. He was resting comfortably in the bed. But, he had the same hair style and appearance as...

Rachel's eyes widened when she saw the clothes lying on the chair next to the bed. They were Jimmy's clothes from the amusement park!

As she approached the bed, she took in the appearance of the boy. Bandages were wrapped around his head, an oxygen mask rested on his face, and he was hooked up to an IV drip, dressed in a hospital gown. But, he looked so much like...and his clothes were...

"Jimmy..." she whispered, gently running her fingers through the boys hair. She felt him stir underneath her, and she stiffened, but he quickly fell asleep once more. Or so she thought.

Sighing, she continued to soothingly run her fingers through his hair, wondering what on earth could have happened to him. She had no doubt it had something to do with the men in black he followed from the roller coaster, but...

"Who...who are you?" a small voice mumbled, making her jump and pull her hand back.

The boy's eyes were open now, and they were a very familiar blue...

A/N: Hmmmm, cliffhanger! :) Not so much in this chapter, but next chapter will be longer if I get a few more reviews. Well, I'll try to make it as long as I can anyway. ^^ If its a good day thats usually 2000 words tops, never beyond.
