Serenity didnâ€™t like eavesdropping but when you couldnâ€™t turn off your ears, you kind of just... eavesdrop. So she heard everything they said and how it was said.<br/><br/><span style="color: #800080">â€œIâ€™m nervous Christine.â€</span>Koda said softly.<span style="color: #800080">â€œIâ€™m nervous about seeing the woman again.â€</span>He said in a bit of a whimper. Then, he paused before hopping in the backseat with Christine and started speaking again,<span style="color: #800080">â€œI hope this goes without issue but have a strange feeling this will not be the case.â€</span><br/><br/>Serenity would stay with them throughout the whole trial and meetings. She wouldnâ€™t have them face these...<span style="font-style: italic">people </span>alone. She put the car into drive and began their trip to the city. She heard their heartbeats and breathe even out, so either they were in deep thought or they were asleep. She drove in silence with only the sound of the engine and her thoughts to keep her company.<br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00"><span style="font-style: italic">The young one has been through a lot, and once this is over he will heal over time... I will make sure of it. I should call that bastard...</span></span>Serenity pulled out an old flip phone that most teens wouldnâ€™t be seen with and called â€œPittâ€.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ring, ring, ri-</span><span style="color: #0000BF">â€œYo, leech.â€</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">â€œRat.â€</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #0000BF">â€œWhat do yaâ€™ want?â€</span><br/><br/>She glanced back at them to make sure she wasnâ€™t being too loud.<span style="color: #00FF00">â€œI need you to look up a family for me. History - personal and public. Interactions, secrets, the whole lot.â€</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #0000BF">â€œWhat do I get?â€</span><span style="color: #00FF00"><span style="font-style: italic">Annoying mortal...</span></span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">â€œThe usual.â€</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #0000BF">â€œWhen by?â€</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">â€œTomorrow at twenty hundred.â€</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #0000BF">â€œGPS your phone?â€</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">â€œSure.â€</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #0000BF">â€œIâ€™ll see what I can get... how important?â€</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">â€œFrom what I already know... if I had their address there would be heads rolling.â€</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #0000BF">â€œText me a name and Iâ€™ll get on it.â€</span><span style="color: #00FF00"><span style="font-style: italic">But useful...</span></span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">â€œGood night, street rat.â€</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #0000BF">â€œLikewise, blood sucker.â€</span><span style="font-style: italic">Click. Beep, beep.</span>She hit the end call button and proceeded to text him Kodaâ€™s name, which Christine had told her yesterday while looking at the paperwork.<span style="color: #00FF00"><span style="font-style: italic">PIâ€™s are handy at times... especially when they used to be in the system and know the system. And when they know your secret...</span></span><br/><br/>They were reaching the forest line by now and dawn was fast approaching. The nearest place to eat would be reached in another three hours. She glanced back at them, then pressed a button on the dash and the windows tinted darker.<span style="color: #00FF00"><span style="font-style: italic">It was handy having cars modified for you, but the important part was that they could rest until we dance.</span></span><br/><br/>-----------------------<br/><br/>Time flew by and they had reached the little diner. She turned around and gently shook them awake.<span style="color: #00FF00">â€œGo inside and eat. Iâ€™ll be here.â€</span>She turned back around and closed her eyes to nap while they ate and freshened up.
