Lani took it from Victoria. "So...her name is Emma?" Lani looked at Victoria like she was crazy. "Of course not. Her name is Bailey."

Alaska was breathing hard, and she couldn't hear Victor. She was getting lost in another memory. She shuddered, remembering the day when Elizabeth died. It had been late spring, and the freak just refused to take her to a doctor. They were in the mountains, isolated. She didn't have her cell phone. She couldn't call anyone for help. Alaska cried out

" She really is a cute little pup, maybe there is dog food around? "

Victor held her close, humming a small song his mother used to hum to him when he was feeling scared. " It's okay Alaska I got ya, I am right here.. " He said to her as softly as his voice let him. " I am right here darling.. right here.. you are okay, you are safe here. " he continue, trying anything he could to calm her. " Look Alaska you are with me, you aren't being hurt, you are not with your kidnapper... " He assumed that was what she was thinking about. " Look around you, we aren't there, we are here. We are safe.. "

( That would actually be how a person would calm someone from a PTSD induced panic attack, or any really )

(I didn't know that. You learn something new every day.)

Lani shrugged. "I don't know. Unless people resorted to eating dog food, probably."

Alaska eventually calmed down, sobbing. She grabbed fistfuls of his shirt, shaking. She kept muttering, "Elizabeth...poor Lizzy...I'm sorry I couldn't save you..."

" Ew no never why would anyone do that? I think Vic has some for Roger he could share. "


Victor kissed her forehead, letting her cry. He didn't know exactly what she was talking about, but he for some reason got very angry about it. Not at her, but at whoever hurt her. He rubbed her back and shoulders, trying to soothe her. " I am here for you, you are okay.. "

"If you get hungry enough, you never know," Lani said, shrugging.

Alaska stopped sobbing but kept shaking. She pushed him away. "I'm fine," she spat. She left the room, going. She didn't know where she was going to, but she went. She had left her new and improved club, so she figured she wasn't going far. She told herself to stop, just to stop and tell him everything. She stopped, but by then she was outside, a couple yards away from the police station.

" I won't get that hungry ever.. now I think we got what we needed and it is starting to rain we have to get back... Vic hates thunder and someone needs to be there to comfort him. " She said walking out of the building.

Victor was stunned, but soon he snapped out of it and went after her but after a few steps he tripped due to his stitched up leg and twisted his ankle, he had dealt with so much pain but this set him over the edge, and he cried out loudly in pain, swearing loudly as he held his ankle. " God- damn it all! " He hissed.

Victoria said, "I hate thunder, too. So let's go. Hurry!" She jumped as there was a loud clap of thunder. Bailey whined

Alaska looked over her shoulder, then pressed the palm of her hands to her temple. She had a huge headache. She went back over to Victor muttering: "I'm sorry, it's just..." She noticed his leg. "What happened?" She had a feeling that she might have been there for what had happened but she couldn't remember at the moment.

Rose nodded and started to sprint, wanting to get back soon.

Victor winced and stood, trying to seem okay. " I am find darlin' it's nothing.. " he said trying to stand strait again. " Whatever it is I am here or you Alaska.. not matter what. " He said, a weak smile tugging at his lips. He was clearly in pain. " If you meant the stitches, slashed in the leg. "

Lani and Victoria were right behind her, Victoria flinching every time the thunder clapped.

"Okay. I get it. You're there for me always. Who stitched your leg?" Alaska was trying to avoid the subject of the kidnapper, or anything that had to do with children at all. She wished she had some ibuprofen for him. "You don't look too hot," she said, referring to his health.

Rose soon got to the police station and entered. " Hey Vic we're back! "

" David, I am okay now tho- " Again he winced in pain and fell to his knee. " -ugh... I twisted my ankle tryin' to go after you.. " Finally when Rose had opened the door, he heard the loud thunder roar.. His eyes went wide with fear. " Was that.. t-t-thunder? "
