A chance encounter, the sought-after Rachel Gardner and Isaac Foster.
A chance encounter, the sought-after Rachel Gardner and Isaac Foster.
It was night, a night like any other summer night of the year.
A light breeze was blowing on the long blond hair of our protagonist, under this summer heat she had not thought to take a coat to cover up at night after school.

Walking near some alleys dimly lit by the street lamps placed towards the main road, she could hear screams in the distance but was not really paying attention to them as she was used to meet many children playing in the playground next to her house.

Arriving just outside her apartment door, she saw a young blonde girl, probably college-aged, and a man looking like a mummy who appeared to have lost consciousness due to blood loss from a gaping wound on his shoulder.

The young protagonist watched them for several minutes before slowly approaching to gently touch the shoulder of the little blonde with a slight smile on her face.

-Don't be afraid, I don't know who you are but we must get her to the hospital before the wound gets more infected than it already is.

The little blonde girl suddenly got into a state of panic that the girl did not understand, did she have something to blame herself for? Where was she wanted? She hadn't run away, had she?
They were the only thoughts she could have at that moment, not even realizing that the girl had gotten up and was dragging the man with her little strength to escape.

She had the time to reach the mat before our blond girl started running to finally stop them... Just to stop the little one from dragging the man who was now showing his beautiful brown hair under the moonlight.

-Hey...I have a first aid kit at home so at least let me help you, you won't be able to drag him for long even with the greatest will in the universe.

The blond girl seemed to think for a moment before nodding her head, she started to look at the door certainly waiting for it to open.
Seeing this, the eldest daughter did so, opening the door and helping the youngest to carry the man ascending by assenceur to her home.
The little one again dragged the dark-haired man to the sofa she had seen, while the woman quickly grabbed something to wipe the blood off the floor.

-If it's not too intrusive, may I ask how he got injured and lost so much blood? And especially since when you've been dragging him.

The little one whose name she still didn't know seemed hesitant to answer, it's not good if they're discovered now.

-Rachel...

-Rachel?

-Rachel Gardner is my name.

-The kidnapped girl? Yet you don't seem to be afraid.

Rachel smiled a little smile before looking at the man lying on the couch.

-I followed my god.

The blond girl turned back to her elder daughter afterwards with a face that was back to neutral.

-Who are you? Aren't you going to tell the police where we are? Otherwise I'm going to have to end your life.

-I'm Yoriko for my last name look on the door, I think you must be able to read and as far as the research story is concerned I'll see when the mummy is healed.

The blond girl who now had the first aid kit rushed to the beautiful brunette to treat the wound and redo the bandages, for some unknown reason she hid the loose body from the elder and moved only when the bandages were put back on.

The eldest one on her side had finally finished cleaning up with incredible luck because no one came by in the meantime, she finished washing the broom and bucket of water before coming to see how the potentially living mummy was doing.

-The sleeping mummy is still in a deep sleep?

Rachel just nodded her head again while the eldest came gently to embrace him.

-Don't worry, it looks like it has a hard head... I know why not eat something? Whatever you want is on me!

Just when the blond girl was about to nod for the third time, the hand of the pharaoh coming out of Egypt began to move which made the heads of the two young girls turn in his direction.

-I hadn't asked but reassure me he's not grumpy when he wakes up?

-Sometimes he is.

The older one was slowly starting to move away when the man suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Rachel for a moment before looking around.

-Ray, what the hell are we doing in an apartment?

-You needed to be treated and she insisted on helping, she promised not to say anything.

-You give your trust to anyone who makes promises to you?

-She's not lying.

-Are you sure?

-Ask her, Zack.

Suddenly "Zack" turns to Yoriko, seeming to question her with his eyes before she speaks.

-You.

The young woman followed Zack's gaze and pointed her finger at his face with a complete look on her face.

-Me ? so "you" has a name which is Yoriko and I assure you that I won't say anything to anyone.

The brown stared at her a moment longer before closing his eyes.

-I'm hungry.

The two girls looked at each other before smiling and running into the kitchen.

-We'll take care of it!

Arriving in the kitchen, the younger one stopped and waited for the older one to take out the ingredients one by one.

-What are we going to do?

-A Pizza, I'll make the dough and then I'll let you put what you like on it.

The little one settled in a corner, waiting for the older one to make the dough.
Sometimes she would take a look around the living room to see what Zack was doing.

She waited for a moment, watching both the mummy and the dough that was being made before she saw a jacket right in front of her nose.

-Zack, rest.

The man didn't seem to listen to her too preoccupied with observing if the blonde girl wasn't putting poison or other things that could render them unconscious to hand them over to the authorities.

-Zack.

On hearing the man's name, the blond girl in question turned to him with a gentle smile on her face.

-Are you so hungry that you can't wait any longer? The dough is finished, you can help Rachel put the filling in if you wish.

He just let out a grunt before he stood beside the worktop and the little girl brought everything she wanted to put on.

-Oi Ray you don't put strawberries on a pizza!

-She said I put whatever I wanted.

-You want to make it inedible?!

-Half each without judging.

The brunette seemed to keep quiet knowing how stubborn the younger one could be, they both started to do their half in silence for most of the time under the dreamy gaze of the blonde who had stayed behind.

After literally an hour, the two brought the pizza back and Yoriko cooked it before turning around to see Zack sweating in front of the small flame of the gas oven.

-Zack is there a problem?

The mummy didn't answer, staying frozen in place with his eyes on the flame as if he was going to die of fright.

-Zack?

She began to put her hand in front of his face before seeing him blink and turn towards her, a slight fear could still be seen in his eyes but the blondie did not allow herself to ask the reason.

-Go and wash yourself while the Pizza is heating up, I would lend you some things but this smell is no longer bearable!

Rachel seemed to sniff Zack before pinching her nose and taking him to the bathroom while Yoriko went to fetch some old clothes belonging to her and others from her twin who had gone abroad to study.

On the way to the bathroom, she forgot to knock on the door and found herself in front of a Zack with only his pants and bandages on him.

The girl made a neutral face by putting the clothes on a chair near the door and despite the desire to observe the young man, she apologized just before taking the dirty clothes with the man now naked except for the bandages still on him and then closed the door under the intrigued look of the brown man.

As soon as she went out she saw Ray turning around against the door, the little girl seemed to have her gaze fixed on the redness of the older woman but her face was still neutral like that of a doll.

-Uh...You have to wait your turn Rachel, is something wrong?

-Are you sick? No, you don't have to be sick... I'm just checking up on you.

-Watching me? I thought I had gained your trust Rachel, even though it's normal to still have some doubts.

-You could inform the police while we sleep or in a moment of inattention.

-You are far too suspicious, relax a little, I already promised.

After a moment's reflection she just took the clothes and sat down on the couch while the woman went to put Zack's clothes in the washing machine and then went to watch the cooking of dinner.

-Rachel you can watch TV if you want, standing in front of a black screen is not very entertaining.

The little blonde started to look at the calendar that was next to the couch quickly before taking the remote control to watch TV as advised by the elder.

The elder daughter returned to the living room at the same time as Zack with the pizza just out of the oven which she put on the small coffee table before sitting down next to Rachel pulling the only man present in passing.

-Well now we eat, brush our teeth, wash for Rachel and me then sleep!

By taking the first part she saw the serial killer looking at her strangely, surely because he was not expecting to be treated like a kid by the blonde.
The rest of the evening was going normally for everyone despite the suspicion that little Rachel kept towards the older one, they went to bed early with Rachel and Yoriko in the bedroom and Zack on the couch.
