Diana Thompson hides behind a capable facade. One that's also strict and a little coarse. In reality, she's frightened, all of it is something she uses to deal with a past so shocking she'd never reveal it to anyone.
She was born in a town called Ri...
"Alright." Was Levi's response. Taking off the urn top, Levi exhaled before throwing the ashes into the water. The ashes weren't much. As soon as it touched the water it had, spread throughout the water.
"You okay?" She asks Levi.
Levi smiles, slightly. "I'm fine." He says, before breathing out. "Let me walk you to your car, I don't want you to be late for your plane ride."
"Yeah, don't want to be late." She says, walking away. They both walk in sync, not saying a thing to one another. Slowly Diana's car starts to come in view, and her heart clenches.
"Remind me again why we're doing this?" Levi asks. Of course, he knew why they were doing this, he just needed to hear it from her one more time, to erase the doubt in his heart. Where he was going, he didn't know if he'd make it out alive. But he knew that Diana needed him to this, therefore he would. Why? Because he loves her. And when you love someone, you'll do anything for them. Even if it was irrational.
"To help my cousin. She's somewhere out there and I need to help her." Diana says. She knew that this plan was crazy, but it's the price you pay for family. She didn't know Kelly, but she knew she had to help her. "You remember everything we went over?"
"Yes."
"Good." Diana leans forward and pecks his lips one final time. "Be safe in there." She takes his hand and places it on her stomach. "We need you, so come back to us."
"I will." Levi promise. He takes her hand and kisses it. "Until we meet again."
"Yes," Diana answers before getting into her car and driving off. She knew if she stayed any longer she'd cry in front of him. She didn't want him to see her cry, especially since she's been doing it for the past few days. Diana let's out a breath, increasing her speed. "Time to pull yourself together Diana."

"How much further?" Diana asks Simon, through the earpiece. Even though her hair is in a high ponytail, she's sweating like a pig. She moves quietly down the facility hallways, trying her best not to get caught. Two full weeks had gone by since she arrived in California. Diana went to Kelly's old town, finding out as much of information as possible. She found a couple of leads, but they all led her down a dead path.
"Turn left. The room door should be to the right." Simon answers, looking at his laptop. He scrolls the window down a little, to let some air into the car. It was hot as hell and neither Simon and Diana was use to the California weather. "Be careful Diana, this place is run by a lot of Italians."
"Your right about that," Diana whispers, pushing herself deep into the wall. She watches as two nurses walk down the hall, speaking in what sounds like Italian. Once they left, Diana makes a run to the room at the left of the hall. She sighs, closing the door quietly. Turning around Diana stops dead in her tracks, shocked. "Oh god."
"What?" Asks Simon. "You alright?"
"I'm fine Simon. It's Kelly." Diana says, her gun held tightly in her hands. "I think she's in a coma. She has a lot of burn marks on her arms, they look to be second-degree burns."
"I'm doing a search on local fires right now." Said Simon.
"Good. Also, do a search on local car crashes. She has some marks on her face, I think she was in a crash."
"Ok."
Diana walks near Kelly's sleeping body. Kelly was hooked up to monitor's and had bandages on her body. Suddenly the room door bursts open. Diana draws her gun, pointing it at the two males who just came in. They do the same.
"Who the fuck are you?" Diana's voice booms.
"I'm the one that should be asking that, seeing as you are the one here uninvited." One of the males says. Out of the two males, he looks to be the eldest. His face was stern, yet you could tell it's not always like that. His brown eyes bore into Diana's chocolate ones.
"Diana, what's going on," Simon asks.
Diana rolls her eyes. "Nothing Simon, just being held at gunpoint by these two Italian idiots."
"Who the fuck is Simon?!" This time it was the second male that spoke. He was definitely young, Diana noted.
"And who're the Italian idiots, cause I can assure you it's not us." The older male glances at the younger male, then back at Diana. "Never mind, I'll speak for myself."
"Diana you want me to come in there?" Simon asks.
"No Simon, I got this." She glares at the two males. "Look you two idiots, who the fuck are you and why are you here?"
The older male glares at Diana. "I'm not an idiot and we are Kelly's protectors, now you can put the gun down and tell us who you are or I'll fuckin shoot you."
Diana let's out a breath, putting down her gun. "My name is Diana Thompson and I'm Kelly's cousin."
The older male looks shocked. "Kelly doesn't have a cousin." He turns to the younger male. "Does she Wyatt?"
Wyatt shrugs. "I don't know, she never mentioned anything about having cousins."
"She wouldn't have, she doesn't know about me. Just like I didn't know about her till recently."
"I'm Kevin." The older guy says putting his gun away.
"Wyatt." The younger one says. "Who's Simon?"
"Simon is my brother. He's talking to me through my earpiece. "Diana explains.
Kevin was about to speak but was cut off by the sound of a moan. Everyone's eyes snap to Kelly. Her eyes slowly open, and she faces everyone. "Where am I?" She asks.
