"Hey" Charlie said.

"Hey" Lexi whispered from her perch of the roof above Lauren's room. She had just moved in about 3 days ago and the pain of both Lauren and Donnie's departure was still fresh and painful. Charlie was standing on the balcony below.

"Mind if I come up?" Charlie asked.

Lexi hesitated a moment, "Yeah sure... use the rail and ledge above it."

Charlie did and soon she was beside her, sitting on the roof, staring out into the vast sea.

"Don't you ever worry about falling off this thing?" Charlie asked. Lexi gave no response so Charlie spoke again. "Listen kiddo.. I know your hurt'n. You've lost the only family that you've ever know.. the only people who have treated you right... but you forget... Me, Paige, Briggs, Jakes, and Johnny, we're your family too. We care about you. And I made a promise to Lauren that I'd take care of you.. now you're not making that easy on me now are ya."

"I'll be 18 in a year... I don't need taking care of..." Lexi said turning her face away for she did not want Charlie to see her tears.

Charlie reached out and gently turned the young girls face towards her.

"Aww..Sweetie" Charlie said softly, as she brushed the tears from the girl's eyes. "No matter how old you are you still need a little taking care of now and again. We all do. I know that letting people in hasn't always been your strong suite but.. will you let me look after you? Just a bit? Let me look after you like you do for me, and Paige, Briggs, Jakes, and Johnny?"

Lexi remained silent for a moment before nodding. The glimmer of a smile on her face. Charlie took her hand and they both departed from the roof.

"Hey!" Lexi said excitedly. Lauren and Donnie were on Skype and it was the first time she was seeing them since they left.

"Hey there's my best girl! How ya do kiddo? Keep'n everyone in line at Graceland?" Donnie said.

"Doing my best" Lexi said with an eye roll, "You know how they can be."

"Briggs isn't working you too hard is he?" Lauren asked.

"No, I can handle it. Hey Lauren, Donnie, guess what?" Lexi said.

"What?!" The two said in unison.

"I made straight A's this semester." Lexi said beaming.

The three chatted and laughed for a few more minutes before Charlie came in.

"Hey Lex, you about ready? Cause we gotta go or Briggs is gonna have both our asses- Hey Donnie! Hey Lauren!"

"Hey Chuck!" Donnie said and Lauren smiled and waved.

Charlie took a few second to talk to them before she turned her attention back to Lexi.

"Hey Lex, Sorry to cut this short baby girl but we got work to do. Say goodbye to mommy and daddy." Charlie said in a kidding voice as she waved her on goodbyes.

"Duty calls" Lexi said with a smile and a shrug. She blew Lauren and Donnie a kiss and said her goodbyes.

Lexi was dress like a street trash druggy. She was backup/distraction if things went wrong. Charlie's CI Whistler had ODed will Charlie and Briggs were trying to nail Odin. Charlie felt responsible and wanted to get ODin off the street. Lexi wanted to see him put away too. Lexi had alway kinda liked Whistler. Yeah he had his flaws and his problems but he was a dreamer.. sometimes a foolish dreamer. But a dreamer still. Lexi liked that about him. He had a good heart. He didn't deserve to died like that. Plus Odin's product was so pure it was killing kids and teens who didn't know the differences. Other "strays" like her. Kids who would never get a second shot to turn they're lives around. Things were starting to get hot and Lexi was ready to go, waiting for a signal from one of the agents to make something happen. But it didn't come. And before Lexi could do anything the deed was done.

"I wanna meet this God" Charlie said shooting up.
