"Hi mom," said Kyra as she walked into the kitchen. Time had flown once again as it was coming up on a month since Kyra had moved in with Brock and Barbra Jean.
"Hey Kyra," said Reba, not turning away from the kitchen window. After setting her bag in a chair, Kyra grabbed an apple and looked closer at her mother.
" I got some good…what are you looking at?" she asked.
"Your brother, he's been acting real strange recently," said Reba as she finally turned away from the window and opened the refrigerator.
"Well Jake has been known to go one weird streaks in the past," replied Kyra before she took a bite out of the apple. Reba gave her a look before she brought out the milk and closed the refrigerator.
"I'm talking about Cole," she said. This caught Kyra's attention. Even though she no longer shared a room with him, they still talked and shared secrets on a regular basis. She knew that something was bothering him; it just worried her that he was allowing it to show.
"What's he been doing?" Kyra asked.
"He very rarely leaves his room anymore, when he does its just to use the bathroom or get something to eat and he seems really down when he does," replied Reba as she started to make a cake.
"You think it could have something to do with me?" she asked. Reba shrugged.
"I don't know, I'm not the one who's telepathically liked to him," she said. Kyra gave her mother a look before she turned away and started walking to the living room.
"I'm gonna check on him," she said before she disappeared. A minute had barely passed before Barbra Jean burst into the kitchen.
"Did she tell you? Did she tell you?" she asked, almost jumping up and down. Brock walked in and closed the door.
"Barbra Jean calm down," he said.
"Did who tell me what?" asked Reba, looking back and forth between the two.
"Kyra got an invitation to go to London," said Brock, causing Barbra Jean to giggle and jump some more.
"That's great! Although I think she's a little preoccupied at the moment," said Reba. Brock gave her a questioning look.
"She was going to say something but stopped once she heard about Cole," Reba explained.
"What's wrong with Cole?" asked Brock.
"And since when did Kyra care about her siblings?" asked Barbra Jean, causing Reba to give her a look.
"Where have you been for the past year? Anyway Cole's been acting strange recently, Kyra went up to talk to him," Reba said before returning the milk to the refrigerator.
"Wow, so Kyra actually does have a heart," said Brock before a door slammed upstairs. The sound off running footsteps sounded as Kyra descended the stairs.
"Whoa there, what's gotten into you?" asked Reba as Kyra slid to a halt.
"Cole's gone, he took off," she said as she caught her breath.
"Well where did he go?" asked Brock, now on edge as much as Reba.
"He said he was leaving town," said Kyra. Reba dropped her partly made cake and grabbed her car keys.
"Come on, we better find him before he gets to the city limits," she said as she motioned for Kyra to follow her out the door.
"Reba, don't you think your overreacting just a little bit? I mean he couldn't have gotten to far," said Barbra Jean. Reba gave her a look.
"Barbra Jean, he spent five years walking from town to town. If we don't find him and find out what's going on, we'll never see him again," said Reba as she, Brock and Kyra raced for her car.
"All right Kyra, where did Cole say he was going exactly?" asked Reba as they pulled out of the driveway.
"There's a hill just south of the city that he talked about a lot, he'll be going there first," she said. Reba pressed on the gas a little harder, hoping that they weren't already too late.
