GONE

[Gifted]

Sheilah was one of the first in the auditorium, but couldn't find Skyler anywhere. "Figures," She muttered. She stood near the back of the room and watced the others file into seats, not caring enough to sit down.

Andrew came back about 20 minutes later, pushing a very heavy cart. "This was everything I could lift," he said. "Theres not much left but I can't carry any of it,"

[Sar]

"That's all good Andrew," Matt said relaxed now ""I'm sorry to keep asking but could you run to the day care and tell my sister I'm staying the night here? Please?" She gave a please, she needed to know her sister was okay now.

((can't start meeting til Rave logs on and replies cause I know she'll follow your charrie cause their relation))

Skyler somewhat stepped into view of the crowd but then back out 'Why is she not walking up here late?' he thought to himself.

[Gifted]

Andrew nodded. That was something he could understand. "The day care? okay," He smiled and left, moving quickly towards the day care.

[Sar]

Ashley searched through the cabinets quietly. They had enough supplies for about a week in the day care for the amount of kids they had right now but she knew more would be dropped off soon. 'What about the children who were kept at home?' She thought, she kept searching and organizing, trying to keep her mind clear of those thoughts. 'Where is Sky..I need help..'

[Gifted]

Andrew walked into the day care, not wanting to make the little kids rowdy if any were awake. "Ashley?" He called, hoping very much he'd gotten her name right.

[Sar]

She looked at the door and recodnized her neighber "Andrew?" She whispered barely loud enough for him to hear. She came close to him "They finally got to sleep. What is it you need?"

[Gifted]

"Oh, sorry," He said quietly. "Your sister Matt sent me. She told me to tell you she'll be at the grocery store all night."

[Sar]

Ashley smiled faintly and said "Of course," She looked at the sleeping children and said "I should be here as well..Andrew, if you run into any responsible looking older kids and you send them to me? I need some help here, along with some baby formula," She let out a breath and went back to her chair "Be ready for a long night Andrew, you're now Matt's assistant."

[Gifted]

"I can run back to Matt and ask for some baby forumula for you... assistant? huh, I guess I am," He didn't sound particularly pleased, but didn't really sound annoyed, either.

[Sar]

"That would be wonderful but knowing Matt she's not going to let anyone into the store, not even me," Ashley smiled "She learned from our mother well," GO back to Matt she needs your help."

[Gifted]

"Okay..." Andrew turned and went back to the grocery store.

[Sar]

Matt sat in her chair, by this time the doors were closed and there was another chair across from her for Andrew to take. When she saw him coming back over she waved and pointed at the chair.

[Gifted]

Andrew came and sat down, getting the hint. "Thanks," he said. "Ashley's taking care of the prees, but she told me she's running out of some stuff. She told me she needed help and baby formula," he wondered if Ashley was right about Matt not giving her the baby formula.

[Sar]

"There's enough supplies in there until tomorrow and she know that," Matt said "We can't let anyone in,"

[Gifted]

Andrews eyes widened in surprise. "She said you wouldn't give her any, but I thought I'd best mention it just in case..."
