Okay, I'm gonna put this for those who do not know: if you suspect a child has been kidnapped call 1-800-THE-LOST.

Disclaimer: Once again, I do not own Nintendo or any part of it. I once again want to give thanks to srgeman for allowing me to use Michael and Angela (Angel) from his story A Little Night Music.

Thanks to Lady of Darkfire, srgeman, the book master, annoyed by you, and Notmyre Alname5 for the reviews!

Chapter 12

It was somewhere around nine o'clock in the morning when I woke up again. Susan was gone, Michael was gone, Louis was gone, and Enfer and Angel were still sleeping. Because of Enfer's size, she had to stay on the floor. Angel was still on the bed. I still couldn't comprehend how Enfer is Angel's mother, but I figured if I dwell on it, Angel would not be happy, so I just shrugged it off. I stretched and loked around. There was a piece of paper taped to the television. My curiosity got te best of me so I wandered over to investigate. I reached the edge of the bed and tried to leap over to the table, only to land flat on...yup, you guessed it, Enfer. She jolted upright and started yelling, "What!? What!?" She looked at me, who was now on the floor, and sighed. "Oh, it's you Kiara."

"Sorry about that." I muttered. I stood up, shook myself off, and started walking over to the TV, again. There was an open drawer next to the TV stand so I hopped on it, then got up onto the table. Then, I couldn't reach the note! I looked at Enfer, who was watching me with interest, and asked, "Help...please?"

"What do you need that paper for?" Enfer asked, walking over to me.

"Want to see what's on it." I replied.

"You do realize you can't read, right?" Angel asked from the bed. I didn't even realize she was up.

"Actually, I can." I replied.

"Stupid Mew," Angel muttered, "Giving her the ability to read and I can't..."

"Just shut up and be glad you're alive, Angel." Enfer replied. She picked me up in her mouth by the scruff of my neck and lifted me up to the note.

I was able to read Michael's scratchy handwriting. " 'Susan, I took Louis to an Alsoholics Anonymous meeting this morning, his drinking problem is getting out of hand. After his meeting, which should be over about ten, we're going out for a latre breakfast. There's a free breakfast in the hotel and we left Angel and Enfer. Michael.' There's nothing else after that." I announced.

Enfer put me down on the floor. "Well at least now we know Michael is doing something about Louis's alcohol problem." Angel laughed.

Enfer shot her one of those looks that read, "You better shut up now before you're in a world of hurt."

"What?" Angel asked, standing up and stretching. She leapt onto the floor and added, "Man, I feel better!"

"I'm hungry." I announced, "Does this hotel ahve any Pokefood downstairs?"

"Probably not." Enfer replied.

"We can go down and look, though." Angel replied.


The walk downstairs was ong. One, none of us were big enough to reach the buttons on the elevator and two, I kept tripping over my feet. I'm only about two days old for God's sake! Enfer must've gotten tired of me tripping all the time because she picked me up and carried me down the stairs.

"We're here." Angel announced.

Enfer put me down on the ground. "Finally." I muttered.

Right in front of us was a large cafeteria. Luckily, Pokemon were eating in there with their trainers. "Huh, I guess they do serve Pokefood." Angel muttered.

"They're not eating Pokefood." Enfer replied, "They're eating what their trainers are eating."

"Where's Susan?" I asked, sitting down and scratching my neck. That dang silver collar hurt against my paws.

"Awww! How cute!" A little girl who looked about ten cooed. She bent over to me and asked, "Where's your trainer, little one?"

"Enfer!" I shouted, running over to her. I hid behind her and looked at the little girl.

"Is that Arcanine your momma?" The girl asked.

"No, we're Eevees, that's an Arcanine." Angel muttered sarcastically. Enfer rolled her eyes.

"Aww! Is this your sister?" This girl was getting on my nerves.

Angel looked up at her and started backing away. Her fur rose on her neck and she said, "Back off before I fire a Shadow Ball on your ass."

"Angel!" Enfer barked.

Angel looked at Enfer. "What?" She asked.

Enfer rolled her eyes again.

Hey! Are these your Pokemon?" The little girl asked someone behind her.

"Yeah, one of them is mine." Susan's voice replied, "The other two belong to a friend." She appeared from behind the girl and walked over to me. I ran and hid behind her legs.

"Can I hold it?" The little girl asked.

"Um....sure..." Susan replied. She picked me up and walked over to the girl. This was scaring me, but Susan was okay with it, so I didn't mind as much.

The little girl gently picked me up and held me close to her torso. "Awww, it's adorable." She cooed.

I liked this girl, oddly enough, so I melted away in her arms. "Vee." I sighed.

"She likes you." Susan replied.

"Does she have a name?" The girl asked.

"Kiara." Susan replied.

"Hi there Kiara." The little girl replied, her head hovering over mine. Her brown curls were bouncing everywhere and her blue eyes shone. "I'm Layla."

"Where have I seen this girl before?" I asked myself.

Layla handed me back over to Susan. "She's adorable." She replied, "I have a friend who lived in LItteroot TOwn who wanted a Riolu so badly, her mother was going to give her one."

"Wait, Layla?" I asked. Her name clicked in my head. "Layla Johnson! You're my best friend! It's me! Sierra!"

"What happened to your friend?" Susan asked.

"Killed in a car accident." Layla replied, "Her mother is very upset about this, especially since it was a week before her birthday."

"Oh yeah, that's right." I muttered.

"And she had gotten her a Riolu for her birthday." Layla replied.

Well, so much for that birthday.

"Was your friend Sierra?" Susan asked.

"Yup." Layla replied, "Why?"

"SHe's in the paper." Susan replied, "I personally didn't know her but I feel as if the guy that had Kiara did."

"Well, whatever the case may be," Layla replied, "They're gonna find Steven. I guess he's a suspect for the shooting of Winona."

"How is she?" Susan asked, "Winona I mean?"

"SHe's fine." Layla replied, "Still in ICU but they think she'll live. Steven is her cousin so we don't know exactly why he shot her."

"I thought you said he was a suspect?" Susan replied, walking over to a couch.

"He is, but I know he did it." Layla replied, "My momma left Littleroot after Sierra was murdered. Figured I'd have nothing left." She pulled out a Pokeball. "But, Sierra's mom did give me something as a going away present."

"Not the Riolu, not the Riolu." I muttered.

"Come on out, Sierra!"
