Warning; There's some spoiler from the original story and some anxiety. You have been warned.
*France July 16th 2016*
It has been two days since Carmelita and the others came back from ancient Egypt on their own time.
They have slept in a safe-house, fixing their van and showing Paris to Kit, their new team member. Bentley has helped her even to find a small apartment which already has furniture, while Carmelita and Penelope have helped Kit to find some clothes and items to her home, because it had looked empty in their eyes.
Everything felt so normal, so unbelievably normal, unfortunately Sly had some problems with waking up in the morning.
Carmelita knocked on the bedroom's door and saw that Sly's right fingers almost touched the floor. She walked in and sat on the bed.
"Sly, wake up." She said while touching his shoulder.
Sly muttered something, turned around and continued sleeping.
Carmelita shook her head smiling and closed her eyes for a second.
"Alright ringtail, I warned you." She thought, while leaning closer to Sly's ear and whispered; "Freeze, Cooper."
On that second Sly rebound to sitting half awoke, while Carmelita hid her smile.
"Good morning, my dear." Carmelita said and gave a kiss on his cheek.
"You have no idea how much I missed a bed." Sly yawned while coming down the spiral staircase.
"I can imagine that." Carmelita smiled and turned around to look at him, who had left him peacefully to get ready.
Giving a coffee from Sly who took that thankfully, seeing that something was in his mind for a second.
"What is it?"
"Oh, just a thought, nothing important," Sly understate, but saw how Carmelita waited for an answer.
"I just got some flashbacks from Bob's century."
Carmelita looked at her coffee and put it on the desk.
"We… haven't talked that clearly over." She said, where Sly shook his head.
Both were quiet, when Sly put his coffee cup on the desk and opened his arms.
"I'm sorry."
Carmelita looked at him and smiled a little.
"I'm sorry." She said as well and hugged him, when the door opened and there came Bentley, Penelope and Murray in a rush.
*30 minutes ago Paris, France*
Kit was on the morning walk in Paris and didn't keep a rush, like the other people. She had put on a long beige skirt and a lilac shirt for herself, hiding her hourglass curvy body.
Kit has thought as well to cut her long braided hairs, but she's not sure what kind of hairstyle might suit her.
Of course she's grateful that her life has started to roll 'normal', but she doesn't feel full of happiness. She still saw nightmares about her past. What she felt, saw and heard in Vegas, she hugged herself and looked at her reflection in one of the shop windows.
"What's the matter?" Her mind came to a memory, when Carmelita and she met for the first time.
"What do you mean?"
"Your eyes look so sad."
Kit blinked her eyes and realized that she stared at a shop owner, who looked back confused. She waved her hand moving her lips saying 'sorry' and walked quickly away from that situation.
Suddenly Kit started to feel weird, it felt like someone was following her. Kit turned around, but there wasn't anyone.
"Just your imagination, Kit." She told herself, before continuing a walk.
Later when Kit arrived at her apartment, she stopped getting chills on her neck. The flashback came to her mind of what had happened to her 10 years ago.
Hands shaking she turned around, but saw only some stores opening and people.
Kit didn't want to be alone with her feelings, so she started to walk to the safe-house and hoped that someone would be there.
She tried to walk normally as possible, but every step she took the anxious grown up.
Kit held tighter keys in her hand and closed her blue eyes for a second to focus on breathing. When she opened them, she saw something on her left eye on the street corner. It just stood there, but it looked scary.
Kit's legs moved faster than her brain, and she realized then she already ran.
Hands shaking, Kit put the key to the safe-house door and didn't look behind her, until the elevator doors closed.
