Notes

 

Summary:

Cole loved to leave notes around the house for his dad to find!

The Perfect Costume

 Halloween was quickly approaching as fall rolled in bringing with it a crisp bite to the air. With the excitement of autumn, the youngest members of the Anderson residence were trying to decide on what they wanted to be for the spooky holiday. Part of the fun of Halloween was picking the best costume! Oh, and the candy of course.

Cole had already picked his costume out. He was going to be a lion. It was currently his favorite animal and when he saw the costume the boy had fallen in love. His dad even let him pick up a pack of face paint so they could draw on a big cat nose and whiskers on his face.

Mayson however, was struggling. Nothing was calling out to him. He was originally thinking about being a cat, he saw a cute set of cat ears and a puffy tail. He was even thinking of talking his other dad, Mr. Sixty in going with him. Sixty liked cats over dogs. They could be cats together! A daddy cat and a kitten cat! But the boy didn't want to be one now that Cole was gonna be a lion. He wanted to do something completely different from his brother.

He thought long and hard about it. There were a lot of cool looking costumes at the party store and he saw some fun ideas online. He almost wanted to do it all, even though he knew that wasn't possible. But at the same time, nothing truly called out to him and felt perfect. He wanted the perfect outfit! He had no idea what to do!

"You'll figure it out." Hank assured him. "Just keep looking. Keep an eye out to what calls to you."

Mayson wasn't so sure. But had given his father a nod. "Okay. Maybe you're right."

Who knew picking a Halloween costume could be so hard! It was tricky! Mayson was never good a deciding. His name was a combination of two other names he liked after all. Why would dressing up be any different? He had to give it his all and make it something wonderful, pretty, and perfect! Maybe even colorful and glittery!

He just had to find the right outfit that fits all those self imposed qualifications. He'd keep looking just as Hank had said. He couldn't find an outfit if he didn't look after all.

Camping

This wasn't a typically camping trip nor was it planned. Rex had gone another one of his solo missions and in his attempt to run away he caught the eye of Jaymie. The small EVO was curious as to what her adoptive brother was doing and knew she missed him a lot last time he went away so she begged him to take her with him. The teenaged EVO agreed. They headed out that night and arrived at the cabin by morning.

No doubt Holiday and Six were worried about Jaymie's disappearance. She was barely six years old. But she was with her brother, not taken by a stranger or vanished completely in the night. Things would be fine. Right? They still had to worry and try their damnedest to find her. What parent didn't worry?

As the parents were left to track the children down, the EVO kids were settling in at an old cabin they had come across. It was cozy to a point, there was furniture and other than some dust from disuse it was still passable. It would do. As Jaymie rested, tired from the long night of travel Rex headed out to find the nearest store. He was hungry and was sure the little girl was too. He wanted to track down food for the two of them as soon as he could. Jaymie would be alright until he got back.

However, he was wrong. While he was away Jaymie woke up. It was nearing lunchtime. She was hungry and alone. Looking around for Rex she ventured outside. Stepping close to the forest line a very menacing and distinct hiss was heard. A snake took its strike, fangs diving deep into the small girl's ankle.

She screamed. Pain flared through the entity of her leg and pulsed with each beat of her heart. Jaymie stumbled and fell backward. The snake was still dangerously close and let out another threatening hiss.

Trying to get away only resulted in another bite but finally, she got far enough away to prevent another strike. But the child collapsed in the mud and gritted through the pain. Everything hurt and each breath was heavy. Jaymie swallowed hard. Her mouth was dry and it felt like cotton was caught in her throat. Warm washed though her. She sobbed. All she could do was wait.
