"Ciao CrimsonStroke better have a fucking good reason for calling whoever this is!" I sighed sadly. I hope not seeing Floren again won't hurt him. I held off answering for a minute because it sounded like he was moving around.
"Hi, Crimson… I have good news yet bad news at the same time…"
"Angela? Are you okay? WHAT HAPPENED?"
"Well, you know your little fan you got to meet a few weeks ago?" He mumbled something softly to someone before slamming a car door, and getting back to me.
"Ah si little Ren what about him?" He gave him a nickname oh no, he got too attached.
"Well, he got adopted. However, I can't take you to see him again because his adopter hid who they are, and where they sent him."
"Oh… Well, at least he gets more damn help now. That's all I'd fucking want for him. He was a smart ass kid… SORELLA IF YOU DON'T STOP YELLING AT ME I SWEAR!" I winced at his out of nowhere shout. Also, the sound of some female yelling finally got picked up by the phone. She sounded familiar but I couldn't pinpoint from where.
"Uh, what?"
"Sorry, my siblings and bastard of a brother-in-law are over. I needed help with something… I don't care how long you've been married to his damn ass he's a fucking headache! ...THIS IS MY HOUSE SHOW SOME DAMN RESPECT YOU ASSHOLE!" That second male voice insulting Crimson now sounded way too familiar, and I hate how the phone kept me from fully remembering who it might be.
"Uh, should I call back?"
"Only if it's an emergency god also when we call for your check-ins… Also, my brother say hi. Ciao Angela… I'LL CALL WHOEVER I WANT THAT! YOU'RE NOT MY MOTHER ICI-" I hung up before I had to hear any more yelling from him and his family. Well, at least he's with people who will hopefully support him for a bit if his fan disappearing affects him badly.
I honestly couldn't remember the last time I had a break from work. I was working non-stop since I was put in charge of helping children meet their dream villain. They banned me from it though after too many complaints from the hero community. I miss the children, but it had been a while since I was able to attend a family get together with everyone. Most of my family didn't fully know what I did all they knew was I made children happy, and that was enough to make all of them proud of me. They would probably rethink everything though if I told them I worked with villains.
I smiled softly watching my cousin's son run after his cat around the pool. He's such a sweet boy and looks so much like his mother. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I rolled my eyes annoyed but looked at the notification anyway. I was more annoyed than surprised to see who it was from. Crimson again has made Switch send a check-in text. He's overly worried since I wouldn't allow them to put cameras around my cousin's house to make sure I was safe, and keeping my promise the whole time.
"Well maybe if you told Crimson to chill out we both wouldn't be annoyed at the number of check-in you've done today," I mumbled out as I responded to Switch who was just as done as I was.
"MATO, AUNT VIA IS ON HEW PHONE AGAIN!" I jumped almost dropping my phone hearing my cousin's son tattle on me to his mother. I looked up to lock eyes with Florence as he hid behind his mother.
"Via Island what did I say when this family get together started?" I shrunk in on myself slightly.
"No electronics are allowed…" I mumbled embarrassed. She walked overtaking my phone from me.
"I'm sure Lovi will buy you another on. Don't worry!" Pretty much everyone yelled something as she threw my phone into her pool.
"WHAT THE HELL DID SHE DO!"
"HIDE ALL ELECTRONICS!"
"Uh oh, mato did a no-no."
"FALICIA WHY!"
"BELLA WHAT THE HELL I CAN'T AFFORD HER A NEW PHONE!"
"What… Why can't you get her a new phone?" Falicia asked my cousin confused. He just kept looking at the pool then back at her enraged.
"WE'RE NOT MADE OF MONEY BELLA!" She brushed him off and started to guide me towards her son and other family members.
"Just get her a cheapish one then Lovino… Can't be that hard" I just stared at the pool in shock. I fear what will happen if I can't check in with Switch in an hour. Oh god, she's really going to regret chucking my phone into the pool. As I got to talking with my family the whole pooled phone thing slowly got forgotten. It was calm for about three hours. Florence wouldn't leave my side for most of it. He was so cute talking about his new cousin, and telling me about everything he does a preschool while his parents work. I had to work through a few things since he can't pronounce 'L' or 'R' very well, but I picked through most of it.
"You really love your uncles huh Rence? Aunt Via's sorry she hasn't been able to see you much."
"Mhmm uncie Wei gives me bunch of gifts! It okay. Bobo says you make sick kid happy again. Aunt Via doing good things" I smiled softly gently pulling him through the pool with a rope. He wanted to play in it, but I forgot a suit and Falicia is no longer my size since she had Florence. So I'm doing circles around the pool to pull him in it which he loves for some reason. His words made me feel better after almost a month of missing him deeply. It was peaceful till I heard someone scream from the house. Everyone looked up panicked. I gently tried to pull Florence to me in case I needed to grab him and run for safety.
A man in all black walked out holding one of my second cousins in a chokehold. I don't know my second cousin as well as I do Lovino since we were pretty much raised with each other. I still felt slightly worried for them. I quickly picked up Florence and held him tightly. The man scanned the area, and it looked like his eyes stopped on me.
"Subject found. Appears safe. Subject holding a child may be harder to receive." I backed away towards the fence so I could jump it when I had an opening. Keeping Florence safe was my number one priority right now. I almost shrieked when I backed up into a person instead of fencing.
