"So you always know what I am thinking, even without the connection?" Aiden asked skeptically.
"Yeah. Sorry, no privacy with me! LOL" Lacey was still excited.
"Ugh! But when I am with you it doesn't matter."
"Aweeeeeee." And Lacey kissed him on the cheek. "Look, I am sorry, but I have to go visit my little brother. We will be able to help him in about a week or so."
Aiden couldn't answer. He was so ashamed.
Tell him that I am back. You know how we used to play soccer in the yard.
Can do. And with that, Lacey walked out of the warehouse leaving Aiden behind. Aiden was going to have to go home and get his stuff. As he looked in his window, he saw his mom sitting. She must have heard something because she jumped up startled and fled the room. That is when Aiden snuck into the room and quickly locked the door. He knew he couldn't carry everything so he grabbed 2 big bags that he used mostly on vacation and occasionally when cleaning his room in a rush.
"Well I have to go. Goodbye Sue." Her heard his mother hanging up the phone. He threw his bed set, a few of the works like pants and such. Not to mention other belonging that may come in handy. Then he saw it. The Korean War Knife, which was a good foot and a half long, and the Medieval Sword that his mom kept hidden. He grabbed both and opened the window once more. He unlocked the door and headed out.

"Hey. You got your stuff?" Lacey asked when she returned to the warehouse.
"Yeah."
"How did you manage not getting your head cut off?"
"Through the window." He said as he shrugged. "But look what else I got." He went into his bag to get the knife and sword.
"WICKED!" Lacey almost screamed. "We can use these. They even can with invisi-straps. Where did you find these? They are like the only thing that can kill a vampire."
"Figures. I got them from my..."
"Mom." They said in unison. "I never did like that women." Lacey said frowning.
"I am with you there. How is Billy?"
"Fine. We are going to need more sowrds though."
"Why? I mean besides Billy."
"Um...I....Well it wasn't me fault!" She shuddered.
"Lacey whats going on?"
"There was an accident on the highway and i felt so badddd."
"Oh no no no. Lacey!?!"
"I know but you would have to if you saw it!" She looked so guilty.
"Who was it?" Aiden asked half frightened to know.
"It was Cail."
"Cail. As in my brother Cail?"
"Yes."
Aiden gave Lacey a huge hug. "Where is he?"
"He didn't survive the change. I am so sorry."
Aiden's knees gave out. "Then who?"
"Claire. She found out what happened to Billy and came to see me."
"Bring her in. She will need help."
