“Well it’s not her.” I said, trying not to blow our cover.
“And how can you be sure?” Rachel asked, eyes narrowed. -
The woman's blue eyes darted from Natsuki to Nikolai in suspicion. 'Well?' she snapped, aiming it more to Nat than Nik.
Natsuki fiddled with her hands nervously. -
“Because she lives by me.” I said, praying that the foster agent would buy it. “I think I would know if my own neighbors were being investigated by the foster agents.”
-
'Hmph,' Montgomery huffed, placing a hand on her hip. She was suspicious but knew better than to continue interrogating them. 'Alright, then,' she said, pulling out a notebook, 'And where would that be?'
-
“It’s uh- 12346 avenue.” Nikolai said, deciding to tell her one of his old friends from elementary schools address.
Rachel looked at them, narrowing her eyes even more, then left. -
Natsuki sighed in relief, relaxing slightly. She leaned into Nikolai, face still slightly pale from the nervousness.
-
“It’s ok.” Nik said, hugging her. “I won’t let them find you, ever.”
-
Natsuki hugged him back, resting her head on his chest. She breathed a sigh of relief, smiling a small smile to herself.
-
“We should probably start walking to my house soon.” I said, and an idea hit me. “Or do you want to try and follow that woman to the foster center and find your family?” I asked.
-
Natsuki pulled away, looking up at him with a curious expression. Was he willing to risk it and help her?
After a pause, Nat nodded with an eager smile. -
Nikolai smiled, and he walked quietly to the hallway that the woman turned into, trying to muffle the sound of his footsteps, waving at Nat to follow him.
-
Natsuki jumped up and followed him, tiptoeing close behind. She was careful not to make too much sound, and held her breath when they got too close.
-
Nikolai followed the woman as she entered her car, and turned the key.
“Crap, how are we going to follow her in the car?” He whispered so quietly he practically breathed it. -
Natsuki shrugged, running options over in her head. They couldn't run, they couldn't steal one of the teacher's cars... Nat's head jerked over to the bike racks, and gestured to an unlocked one.
(Never leave your bike unlocked.) -
(Fr tho)
Nikolai nodded, grabbing a second unlocked one, still unsure as to how they were going to keep up with a car using their stolen bikes.
