Arriving at the house their dad kept for them Emma took the key from around her neck and entered the house with the other following behind her. Tod had flipped the light on as Emma looked around. The house looked the same as usual. She saw a little bit of dust around and the furniture was covered by white sheets. She sighed and set her bag down. 

“Alright you guys me, and Alexis are going to uncover the sheets and clean the furniture and also get the rooms ready. You boys cover the windows as much as you can and clean the kitchen and bathroom.  

Everybody had settled out on the task they were given. Emma headed upstairs to her parent’s room and looked around. She looked at all the family photos and grabbed the one of her and her parents holding baby Tod she grabbed shut the door and laid on the bed to cry her eyes out. She was filled with so much grief and pain from holding in all those tears trying to stay strong in front of others. She wiped her face and decided she was going to sleep in this room. She walked out and fixed her hair to look presentable heading downstairs. 

“Everything ready Emma?” asked her as she looked at him and smiled and dusted off the last piece of furniture. 

“Ok, we only have three rooms so Alexis gets mine and Tod and Tyler share a room unless Tyler you want the liver room which is also fine or share with your sister.” I said to them all, looking at anybody who would try to disagree with me. 

“So, you’re staying in their room?” Tod asks me as we headed upstairs with his bags. 

“As far as I know, yes but it’s not like we’re going to be staying here long. Their parents are probably looking for them like crazy, so we need to leave the state and move on quickly.” “So, rest up everybody and meet me downstairs when you’re ready. They all headed into the room for the night not ready for the day that is to come. 

With everybody asleep Emma had nothing to do but think which she refused to do but now can’t avoid it. She thought about her father then her mother who she thought abandoned her and never loved her but, to surprisingly had money saved up for them to leave but instead protected them till the end to leave. She didn’t know where her mother was going to be buried but her father had planned the funeral for her so whatever happens, she hopes it's nice. Emma sighs and gets a notebook and pen out to start planning. 

They could only stay here one night due to her assumption people will start looking for Alexis and her brother and the police wanting to investigate the murder of her mother and also knowing this is private land owned by her dads side of the family and any entry will be notified.. They had to buy food and new clothes to hide their identity but that will have to wait when they leave town which will be by foot and taxi to avoid attention they will head out to the organization they have for teen she heard of from her father. She took out her clothes and looked in the closet for her mothers and took some of hers and took dad's jacket out for her brother and some souvenirs not knowing when they would be back. She walked out of the room and knocked on the doors. 

“Get up everybody, it's time to move.” She yelled out heading down the stairs. She handed Tod dad's jacket and they left through the back door. 

“We need to head out and lay low there until we get something useful.” She told them as they were leaving the house. 

“That’s cool with me as long as we get something to eat.” says Tyler putting a jacket over Alexis shoulder.  

“Due to recent occurrences it’s the farthest and close to the were we need to go” they started walking in comfortable silence and catched a few taxi cabs along the way. As they were walking there were some windows with tv’s in them showing the news they paused and looked at. 

“We are here to report the death of Dana Cold. The police are under investigation thinking it has something to do with their missing kids Tod and Emma Cold. We are also here to report the missing Woods children Tyler and Alexis Woods. If anyone sees them please contact authorities or the parents.”  The news lady continued talking as we slowly backed away from the tv when some people started looking at us and the photo on the screen, we made a dash for it into a supermarket. 

“Anybody has cash on them?” asked Alexis, taking out only a twenty and looking around the store. We pulled out some cash and Tod only a ten due to us not trusting them just yet. We went in search of food for the journey to hold us until we got to the twins.
