Chapter 14

Alicia played with the doll given by Hiro to her. The police let her have it out of respect for the leader of Big Hero 6. She sighed, staring at the doll. It was a roughly handmade doll of Hiro. It reminded her of the said boy. She hugged it tightly, sighing again. A policewoman suddenly came by.

"Someone's here to see you," she said.

Alicia got up. She followed the woman. She was guided to the chief's office. The man turned to her with a tired smile. He gestured her in. Alicia did as told. She looked around before turning to look at the man behind the desk. She bit her lower lip. He told her to sit down. Another man appeared. He was wearing a yellow suit and black pants. He was carrying a suitcase.

"This is Hans," the chief said.

Hans smiled to her. "Hello, Alicia. I am a therapist, hired by your father," he explained.

"My father? Did my brother agree to this?" Alicia asked.

"Yes," he said, taking out a piece of paper, "They signed a contract with me. They will be paying me if I succeeded in healing you."

"No…" Alicia said, backing away.

"No?" Hans muttered, gazing into her eyes.

Alicia avoided his gaze. Hans tried to meet his eyes with hers but she kept on looking away. She stood up, backing away even more. Her breathing became more frantic as she looked around. Her vision became blurry. She wrapped her arms around herself.

"Alicia, I'm here to help," Hans insisted.

"NO!" she screamed, exiting the chief's office.

The police around them could only aim their guns at Alicia but they could not shoot her. Hiro loves the girl. They were afraid that hurting her could break Hiro apart. She looked around desperately before running away. All eyes were on her as she started to run in the streets. She held the doll tightly in her arms as she made her way to Aunt Cass' café. She barged in. Gasps could be heard as she passed by. The girl rushed upstairs.

"What happened?" Cass asked her customers.

"The serial killer is upstairs!" one of them shouted.

"You have to call the cops!" another one shouted.

Cass sighed. She shook her head. The Big Hero 6 made an appearance outside the building because they had received the news. Hiro entered the café casually. Aunt Cass gestured towards the stairs. The boy nodded to her. He took a deep breath before walking to the stairs.

"Be careful!" a girl about his age called out.

Smiling politely, he replied, "I will…"

He went upstairs. He looked around the living room but didn't find anything or anyone. He started walking to the stairs leading to his room. A doll was left on the first stair. He smiled, picking it up. He could hear sobbing sounds and hiccupping coming from his room. He took off his helmet, walking up the stairs slowly.

"W-Who's there?!" a voice called.

"It's me…" he said softly.

Alicia came out of her hiding spot. She ran up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Hiro's grip on his helmet loosened. The helmet fell onto the floor. The girl was trembling. She was scared of something. He wrapped his arms around her waist, nuzzling his nose on the side of her neck. He missed her scent. Alicia's hug got tighter.

"I d-don't want to go back…" she whispered.

"I won't let them take you," Hiro reassured her. "I'll protect you."

"Hiro, they're here!" Aunt Cass called out.

Alicia shook her head rapidly to him. She was begging him not to tell them. Hiro gave a peck on her forehead before heading downstairs to meet up with the police. Officer Raynard and Detective Wills were the only one who came. They watched as Hiro came down the stairs in his superhero uniform. The two police took one glance at each other before turning back to the boy. Hiro acted calm.

"We need her back," the officer said.

"Please, let me handle this…" was Hiro's reply.

"The whole San Fransokyo hates her. How will you respond to that?" the detective asked.

Hiro stared at the doll in his hand. The two police knew that Alicia was hiding in his room. They didn't want to force their way because they didn't have a permit. The customers in the café were watching and whispering. Hiro knew that it would be bad for the Big Hero 6's reputation if this went on any longer. He bit his lower lip, thinking of what to say.

"I'm really sorry, but could you let her sleep here tonight?" he requested.

The officer and the detective looked at each other. Officer Raynard nodded to his coworker. The detective turned back at Hiro.

"One night. We want her back before sundown tomorrow," Detective Wills decided.

"Thank you…" the boy replied.

The two police left after buying a box of donuts. Hiro was then surrounded by a few customers, showering him with questions and asking him for reasons why he would keep her. His aunt saved him by announcing that she would be closing early that night. Hiro thanked her with an apologetic look. She rubbed his shoulder as comfort.

"I'll cook something up for the three of us. Go settle things with your friends. They're still waiting in the garage," she explained.

Hiro nodded. He dragged himself to the garage next. His friends were indeed waiting for him with their invited guest, Carla. The girl shook her head at his behavior.

"Be happy for once! They let you off for tonight," she tried to cheer him up.

Hiro forced a weak smile. Carla took out her laptop while Hiro went to change into his usual t-shirt and pants in the bathroom. She started typing some words on it and a few windows popped up. She connected it to Hiro's hologram screen so everyone could see. There were pictures of two different men and some information about them. Hiro came back to see his screens lit up. He took a glimpse at his friends who were all staring seriously at the screen. He looked at it too.

"These are the two remaining members of the assassination group that was involved with Ashley's murder," Carla started.

"Did you track them down?" Honey asked.

"Yeah, sort of. I cracked open the files and some other illegal stuff…" Carla muttered, smirking.

"You are so cool!" Fred exclaimed so suddenly.

She started explaining what the two last men were up to these few days. She showed them photos of their family and friends. She showed the place where they work. Hiro printed out their personal details.

"So, Fred…what do you want these two to do?" Wasabi asked.

"I just want Alicia to meet them. They could maybe talk it out," Fred explained again.

"Don't you think she's freak out and throw a tantrum?" Hiro asked, concerned.

Fred nodded. "She will," he said, smiling, "Which is why we need the cops with us at the time. You have to send her back to the police station."

Hiro took a deep breath. He gazed at each of his friend's faces. They all nodded to Fred's idea. He pondered for a few minutes before giving in to Fred's plan. Before they could work out the details of what they were about to do, Aunt Cass barged in with a panicked face. The gang was surprised at her sudden burst.

"It's Alicia! She's throwing stuff and screaming. I can't control her!" she exclaimed.

Hiro nodded to his gang before rushing to his room. When he got there, the place was in a wreck. Books and papers scattered on the floor. The screen of his computer cracked because of one of his robots. Alicia was sitting on the bed, shredding off a book she had just got her hands on. Hiro was surprised to see her in such a dire state. He felt like crying. She was screaming right in front of him, with tears in her eyes. Her voice was getting hoarser by the seconds. Hiro covered his mouth with his hand to stifle a sob.

"Alicia… My Alicia…" he whispered to himself.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!" she kept on screaming.

She took another book to shred. Hiro climbed onto the bed. He was on his knees, behind her. Before she could start on the new book she had grabbed, he wrapped his arms around her. He pulled her to sit on his lap. Her cries got louder. She didn't know why, but she wasn't going to stop. Hiro held her tighter. He wanted to cry with her. He wanted to know why she was crying, why she was throwing a fit. He wanted to know her better.

"Ashley, we lost Big Bro…" Alicia complained.

"Yeah, so now we get to have fun alone. I already got some money from Mom and Dad," the twelve-year-old Ashley replied happily.

She trotted up to a shooting booth. Alicia stuck close to her because she was scared. It was her first time not holding onto Asch's hand. It made her even more scared when Ashley's screams of excitement caught a lot of people's attention. She didn't like all the gleaming eyes staring at them. She held onto Ashley's arm as the girl rushed up to the Ferris wheel.

"Come on!" Ashley called her sister.

"Okay…" the shorter girl muttered.

She was a little afraid of heights but she was with her outgoing and daring twin sister, so she felt a little bit safe. Ashley started telling stories on how she wanted to become an astronaut when she grew up. Alicia liked how her ambition would always change every single time she found some new interests.

"Last time you said you wanted to become a vet," she giggled.

"Well, maybe I can become a vet during the day and an astronaut at night," Ashley joked.

They hugged each other. The Ferris wheel came to a stop. When they got down, a few men were waiting for them. They had evil smiles on their faces and Ashley knew that. She pulled Alicia to escape from the men. However, they kept on following her. Ashley paced up, dragging her twin sister with her. Alicia kept on glancing up at the men who at some point, started to run after them.

"We have to hide," Ashley growled at her sister in a low voice.

"Okay…" Alicia muttered."
