Welcome to Gaia! ::

Christy watched Theonin, waiting for him to answer. She reached to pick up her phone to call Rachel, to see if Calista was home yet. She jumped when her phone sprang to life. She looked at the phone like it had grown fangs. She finally picked it up. She looked at the caller ID. It was Tyrel. It couldn't be bad news, right? No, it couldn't Monty would've called herself. She slowly picked up the phone.

"Hello?" she said nervously.

"Hey, Christine. I'm supposted to pay messanger boy. We got Rhys to the hospital. And I told Monty he might not be ok. And she got mad and told me to call you and tell you to meet her at the docks. Then, she stormed out." Tyrel said in a breath.
"Okay, I'll see what I can do, Thanks for calling me Tyrel. Bye."

"Bye, your welcome, and good luck." he said.

Christy closed her cell phone and looked from Joyce to Theonin.
"Joyce," she said, trying not to let on anything was wrong,"Christy has to go out for a little bit. Go in your room and be good, Kay?"

Joyce looked at Christy, a worried look on her face. "What's wrong? I wanna go! Is Rhy rhy ok?!" she asked.

"He's fine." she lied, "I just got to go see Monty. If your good I'll get you Ice Cream and a toy"

Joyce wanted to argue, but she also wanted a toy and ice cream. "Ok. I'll go play. Bye." she said, walking out of the room.

Christy looked at Theonin. "I need to go see my sister, she's not taking this too well from what Tyrel told me." she explained, "You can come with me, or you can,...do whatever."
Christy was worried how Monty would take him, if he came, the docks were sacred to all of them. She wasn't sure what to do. But she wanted to help, somehow. She walked out her door and down the stairs, letting him do as he wanted.

Rachel stood there staring at the ground. "I can't tell you.." She said softly. "I will not bring you into this, Lynn would never forgive me." Suddenly realising that her phone was going off, she grabbed it with her free and and looked at the caller ID. "Monty?..." Rachel went pale. "If she called me... that means..." She clicked on the message to hear what it said, holding the phone to her ear with a shaky hand. "Rachel! Jason has a manila envelope. It would be in his jacket. You need to get it, even if it's on his dead body." She hears some coughing. "Mathue needs... Hey stop it, let me talk!" "Rhys?..." Rachel suddenly yanked out of Marcus's grip and ran back towards the alley, her energy seeming to be skyrocketing from her adrenaline rush. Not caring at the moment about Marcus. Reaching the alley she quickly bent over Jason and grabbed the envelope tucked away in his jacket. Rachel now stood there with a bloody envelope, trying to catch her breath.

Rachel looked at Marcus completely silent for a moment, then opened the envelope and read some of the contents of it her face going paler by the second. "What is going on?..." She asked herself, her voice barely a whisper. She looked up at Marcus again. "If you are going to follow me remember this, I did not want you to follow me... once you get involved you can not get out. You will be entangled in this mess forever." Rachel did not want this for Marcus. "You will have to leave your family and loved ones behind, you can never see them again. Do you want that?" She asked expecting a 'no but he was gonna go anyway' kind of answer.

She stared at him sadly and walked back to her apartment building, knowing he was following her. She had a feeling she was gonna get introuble for this later. "In here." She said, her voice having no emotion to it what so ever. She stepped into the old elevator, the door closing behind her and Marcus and pushed the eight button. Rachel was quiet the entire time, once the elevator stopped she walked out and headed to her apartment. Once inside she immediately went to the fax machine and faxed all of it to Mathue. After faxing it she plopped onto the couch and sighed out of fustration and rubbed her temples trying to prevent the headache she was getting.

As the nurse parked the dark blue car by the sidewalk in front of the apartment building, Calista's eyes landed on Rachel and Marcus. Cursing out loud, causing the startled nurse to jump in her seat, she climbed out of the car ingoring the nurses protests. Wincing as her arm brushed against the car door as she slamed it shut, she paused for a second, watching them enter the building.

Her arm was still bandaged the way she wanted, but it was also put in a sling to help keep it in place. Pressing it against her chest, she walked up to the doors, and using her good arm, opened them and entered. Going to the elevator she stopped, she had to wait for it to come back down anyway. It also gave the nurse time to catch up with her, lugging armfulls of medical equiptment. As the elevator reached the first floor, she stepped inside, holding the door open for the nurse. The ride was quiet, the nurse choosing to concentrait on keeping ahold of everything, and Calista prefering to stare off into space.

Reaching the eighth floor, she walked out into the hall, once again holding the door open for the nurse. Her name was Robyn or something. Tossing her the keys to her apartment, she pointed it out, telling her to set the stuff up by the couch, ingoring her protests once again. It may have been Mathue's orders to have the nurse go with her, but it didn't mean she had to like it. While the nurse stumbled into her apartment and got to work setting up the IV, Calista walked across the hall to the twins room.

Pushing the door open, not bothering to knock, she stepped inside. Glancing from the blindfolded Marcus to Rachel, she didn't know weither to laugh or scream. Shaking her head, pressing on hand against her forhead, she sighed. Finally finding her voice she spoke softly.
"Rachel, I need you to come with me to my room. Bring Marcus." Glancing over her shoulder as she headed back across the hall, a small smirk crossed her face.
"Oh, and you can un-blindfold him if you wish."
Entering her room, she sat on the couch, allowing the nurse to hook the IV up to her injured arm before asking her to leave. As the nurse left, she motioned for Rachel and Marcus to enter, and leaned back. There was alot to do before Mathue found out about this.

Rachel stood up fast when she heard Rhys, she hadn't seen him come in. "Rhys, it's fine!" She yelled. "This is Marcus." she said a little more quiet. "We bumped into each other, he knew who I was and followed me." Rachel was now really tired. Just as Rachel sat back down she got a fax and walked over to it to read it. "Wonderfull...." She muttered quietly. "Another job so soon..." Throwing the papers down on the desk she had in the living room she looked back up at Marcus and Rhys. "Come on..." She said quietly as she started to head over to Calistas. "This day just keeps getting better and better." She said to no one, shaking her head at the thought of it all.

Christy looked over her shoulder. She guessed Theonin wasn't coming. She wasn't sure whether she wanted to take the car, or walk. She finally decided to walk, because she knew she didn't have the attention span at the moment need to drive. She started walking in the direction of the docks. She was worried. She went to the docks to think about Mom. And How nice everything was before, but Monty, she wasn't sure why Monty came. She started walking up the docks she saw her sister, her feet dangling. She walked over to her.
"Hey, Little Sis. Long time no see." she said, trying to smile. She leaned down and wrapped her arms around Monty, so if she did start crying, at least Christy could keep her from falling in the water.

Christy took her arms from around Monty and sat next to her. She looked at her. She knew she wanted to tell her something. She just smiled at her.

"Mom loved him, because, You can't help who you love. I've tried not to love. It doesn't work." she told her sister, thinking of Theonin. She ruffled Monty's hair. "Rhys will be fine, you know. He's a scrapper. Always was. I mean, when we were little, you two must have fought a million times, and neither of you were below biting, scratching, hair pulling, anything. We got it from Dad. And your right, he thinks we just want to make him angry, want to get to him, but we just want to be normal. But,we'll never be normal, and frankly, little sister, we couldn't be even if we wanted to. I mean, look at everything that could come back to bite us in the a**. And I'm too used to it now. If we got out now, do you realize how BORED we'd be? Oh, and I took Theonin home with me. He met Joyce." she finished, holding back a load of giggles.
