Aimee and the guys ended up taking the bald girl back to Mike's house. They were all in the basement and Aimee sat closely to the girl, keeping a close eye on her.

"Is there a number we can call for your parents?" Mike asked.

"Where's your hair?" Asked an impertinent Dustin. "Do you have cancer?" Aimee stared at him, giving him a death stare.

"Did you run away?" Pulls in Lucas.

"Are you in some kind of trouble?"

'' What's wrong with this girl? '' Aimee thought to herself. '' She's not even answering the questions... ''
Lucas soon found some red stains on the girl's shirt.

"Is that blood?" Mike non hesitantly slapped Lucas' hand away.

"Stop it! You're freaking her out."

"She's freaking me out!"

"Cut it out, Lucas." Aimee snapped at the boy.

"I bet she's deaf." Dustin clapped, making the girl jump. Everyone gave him a look. "Not deaf."

"All right, that's enough, all right. She's just scared and cold." Mike ran over to a bin of laundry, which were fresh and clean. Aimee stood up and smiled at her. She jumped at the thunder booming outside. "Here, these are clean. Okay?" He said as he gave a sweat shirt and pants. She looked over and caressed the clothes.

Then she stood up and nearly got naked in front of the 4. Everyone shielded their eyes. Aimee shut hers for all it was worth.

"No, no, no! Oh, my God. Oh, my God." They groaned. Mike then pointed to the bathroom.

"See over there? - That's the bathroom. Privacy. Get it?" Aimee smiled and the girl looked at her. She pointed to Aimee as she walked. Mike and Aimee followed her. As they got to the bathroom, the girl pointed to Aimee and pointed to the floor.

"You want me to stay?" Aimee asked.  The girl nodded. Aimee then looked at Mike. "At least she can communicate." She whispered and Mike couldn't help but agree.

She walked into the bathroom and Mike went ahead to closed the door but she stopped him.

"You don't want it closed?"

"No." Aimee grinned, shocked.

"Oh, so you can speak?" Asked the boy. "Okay, well Um, how about we just keep the door just like this." He said as he closed the door, leaving it opened slightly. "Is that better?"

"Yes."

Then, Mike walked back to the guys.

Aimee then contemplated. What can she make of this girl?

'' She seems quiet... ''

       '' But what's with her shyness? ''

'' Maybe she's naturally like this. ''

       '' Or maybe she's not. Maybe she's crazy like Lucas is saying right now. ''

'' Probably but she seems to be a nice girl. ''

       '' Well, we'll just have to see, won't we. ''

Aimee looked back at the bathroom and then walked over to her friends.

"All right, here's the plan. She sleeps here tonight."

"You're letting a girl-" Aimee slapped her hand just below his mouth.
