Meant Alone

Ellie:

"Well dear, don't just say such a broad statement and not continue." Mrs.Rutherford asks of me

"Ok well, there's like a slight, little, tiny, eenie beenie chance that she may have taken a file from your desk and plotted to complete it without your knowledge to prove to you she could do what's you told her she couldn't, which is wrong by the way. You should never tell someone they can't do something because they're a girl and-" i ramble before someone stops me.

"Elizabeth. Tell us what happened" Kingsley tells me

"Ok well, after we met, we talked for like an hour and finally she told me about how she tried to ask her brother for an assignment but he denied her and her past with asking you so she said she asked someone she's involved with on your team if they could help her get one and they did and it was tonight." i finally get out trying to catch my breath.

"Did she say who?" Mr. Rutherford asks

"It's not the time dear. Did she say what the assignment was honey?" she cuts him off

"She didn't go into much detail but the main idea was that she was going to meet with someone to set an order of some sort of shipment. She didn't say much" i pause "I'm so sorry"

"Not the time. We need to split up. I'll take your mother and you'll go with her. Gabby, stay with Elizabeth's parents." Mr.Rutherford suggests.

"You really want me to go with her?" their son stops

"This is really not the time Xander, your sister is missing!" she raises her voice

"It's her own bloody fault" he mumbles

"Go now, son" he dad growls out

We walk towards the back hall as fast as i could with heels on "Ive already checked all the rooms that are always empty" he's leading now

"You're an idiot, you know that?" he laughs

"Excuse me?" i stop

"I said you're an idiot! Are you deaf too?" he turns to face me

"I heard what you said i just didn't believe you said it." i whisper

"You know she had this plan but you still let her go along with it." he grits through his teeth.

"I warned her against it and she told me i was right. I thought she was going over to you guys to get your picture" i explain

"You didn't pay attention to where she went? I swear this is why you guys can't do this job" he thinks out loud

"I'm sorry?" i can't even believe he's saying all this. This guy repulses me to no end. I hate people like this. "What do you mean 'you guys'"

"Oh don't get your panties in a wad." he rolls his eyes

"You're impossible." i scoff

"I'm impossible? You're-" he began to yell before he's cut off

"Daddy told me to come tell you they found Leah" Gabby's small voice says

I don't think i could've taken another second with this guy. Ew. 

I began to walk back with them until Xander stops me "You've done enough alright? Go back to your family" his voice is soft but it's obvious in his face that he's angry. I reluctantly comply and shake my head and i go back over to my dad.

"What happened?" Alina asks as soon as i arrive

"It's a long story that i'd rather not get into." i smile.
