"Ace help!"
"Ace–rrh!"
Just as I finished the breakfast that my loving mother served, after the infamous Mary Whisperer finally did his job with a well-timed apology from me, Lyra's cries for help broke the peaceful atmosphere.
My father had left to inspect the Lansky avocado orchard with Uncle Dan, trusting Mandy with leasing the Lansky servant villa to Dee3. And Auntie Pam drove Danny to school, the shock from the Apache incident had made her very clingy, and Danny had no choice but to accept it.
So, it was just me, my mom, and Mandy in the house. They rushed to the door in panic while I slowly soaked the dish and took my time to join them at the front porch. Because I knew no harm would befall the Landers in our estate.
