They got to their clients house. Lisa went up to the door first. She knocked on the door. The door opened and a brown haired man walked out. " Are they here?" He asked. She nodded and smiled. He smiled. Lisa motioned for Taya and Hotoru to unload the dogs. Taya smiled. She got Spots out of her carrier. She walked her up to the door. " Both of them have been vaccinated, they are well trained, and are both people friendly and other animals friendly." The man nodded. " Good to hear." Lisa finished up with him. Her and the kids went back to the rescue.
Taya went off to the left wing of the main building. She found the room that had Phoebe in it. She closed the door needing to be by herself. Phoebe raised her cream colored head. She walked over to Taya. Taya was looking out the window. She sighed softly to herself. She missed her family. She pulled out her journal.
Entry Number Two:
Well I have a bit of good news, Spots and Riley got adopted. I'm so happy for them.
I just still feel like something is missing. I know Christmas is today but it just doesn't feel the same.
Mom I miss you so much.
She finished writing in it putting in back in her pocket. Phoebe laid her head in Taya's lap. Taya stroked her head gently. She heard a car pull up. She got to her feet. Mitch walked in covered in snow. He had a santa hat on his head. He had a bag that was light in his hand. Lisa chuckles. " How did giving gifts to the kids go?" she asked. He smiles. " It went well but there's two left. Two for my lovely females at home." Taya hugged him gently. He sat in a chair opening the bag up. He handed Taya a rectangle shaped box. She takes it from him opening it up. She opened the box to find a laptop in it. " I figured you would like a better way to write your stories." He whispers. Taya smiles. " It's prefect." She hugs him. Mitch pulled out a small black box. He turned around to face Lisa. He got down on one knee. He smiled. " Lisa, I know I have been holding it off for a really long time. You have been the best partner in my entire life. Will you do me the honor of being my wife?" he asked. Lisa put her hand over her mouth. She nods. He put the ring on her finger. She hugs him gently.
Mitch took Taya home for the night. Taya went to her room sitting on the bed. She started her laptop up. She pulled up her email. She found her mother's email and typed in this message.
Mom-
I don't know if you can read this. I miss you an awful lot.
A lot has happened in a year. I left dad. I don't know why but I got scared. I'm here with Mitch and Lisa. I don't know how daddy is but I would never doubt that he is probably looking for you.
How is Tyler? Is he with you? Are you both getting treated right?
I love you mom.
Taya sent the email and waited on a reply.
Tyne heard her phone buzz. She saw that Taya had sent her an email. She read it before repling:
Taya-
Omg it's so good to here from you baby girl! How da fuck did you get past the warden? Anyway don't worry about your father. I'm sure he'll make it. I'm so sorry I caused you to leave baby. I'm trying the best I can to get out of here.
Tyler is here with me. He isn't doing well. They tried doing some kind of growth formula on him but it didn't go the way they planned. He's really really sick and I'm worried about him.
No baby they haven't. I'm still not feeling well. I don't know what they have been doing to my body.
I love you so much baby and I'm sorry about all of this
Tyne
Taya refreshed her page to find an email back from her mom. She opened it up. She read through it before repling:
Mom-
I'm sorry to hear that. Please hang in there. If he doesn't come for you I will. I love you too.
Tyne looked at her email smiling.
Taya-
I will. And thanks.
Taya turned her laptop off, putting it on her nightstand. She laid down smiling softly to herself. She closed her eyes, going to sleep.
Fletch went back into the training room. He sighed going over to the punching bag. He begins punching it. He feels his anger rise slowly. Everyday his anger got worse without Tyne. The thought of losing her that night really tore him up. He punched the bag harder getting it to swing back and forth. He punched it dead center growling. The images came flooding back. He yowled punching it sending it flying into the wall. He stood there panting softly. He decided he needed to get out of the bureau for awhile. He put on his robes and his mask leaving.
Taya woke up later that night. She decided to go back to the rescue. She was in the backyard cleaning up. She heard someone walk up behind her. She turned around to see Hotoru leaning against the wall. She smiled at him. " Hey what are you doing here?" she asked. Hotoru smiled. He lowered his pants pulling her to him. " I need you." Taya tried to pull away. She began screaming. Fletch was running along the streets. He heard his daughter's familiar scream. He climbed up the building getting onto the roof. He saw his daughter being harassed down below. He growled jumping into the air. Taya saw a shadow land in front of her. Taya fell down backing away slowly. She heard screaming coming from Hotoru. The shadow stopped beating Hotoru. It's metal fist was all bloodied. It turned around to face Taya.
