☆Alexis' POV
There's a continuous knock on the door. I groan and get out of bed, reluctantly making my way to the bathroom.
“Zu could you please get that?” I call from the toilet seat.
No response.
“Zu?”.
I finish up, wash my hand and move out. The knock comes again.
“Hold your horses, I'm coming!” I whine.
I was exhausted. I throw the door open.
“What... girls?!”.
“Hi!” Poppy chirps.
I peep around the hallway.
“What are you doing here? How did you find my room...”.
“Can we come in?” Ruth-Alma cuts in.
I stand aside and they fill in. Poppy drops her backpack on the floor gently. I look at it.
“What happened to your bag?” I ask.
She peeps at it.
“Oh no! Ruth-Alma!” she whines.
“Relax, Alexis will fix it”.
“Now hold on a minute... what am I fixing? What are you even doing here? School's not over until...”.
“Right now” Ruth-Alma says, checking her watch. “We came with an Uber. We need your help”.
I cross my arms.
“I thought I you said you'd figure something out”.
“Well I tried. But I don't know what to do with this”.
She reaches into Poppy's backpack and brings out a tiny dog. I gasp.
“Where did you get that?” I ask.
“Rae, it number twoed in my backpack” Poppy pouts.
“We'll just swap it Alexis' bag” Ruth-Alma says.
“No you'll not. And you didn't answer my question. Where did you get the puppy?”.
“An ally okay?”.
“What were you doing in an ally? You go to a top notch private school for rich kids. How'd you get past security?”.
She reaches into her pocket and takes our a shiny card.
“Mom's credit card. It gets me places”.
I shake my head in amazement at the 12 year old child genius in front of me. The puppy whimpers.
“It's Valantina's pup” Poppy says petting it.
“Well girls, I don't think Valantina will be happy when she finds out her baby's gone. You gotta get it back to its mother”.
“I don't think immigration is going to allow Val come back from dog heaven, Alex”.
I look at Poppy.
“Oh...”.
“We had to save him. He's the only one left. They murdered the rest of the puppies and Val. We found him buried under a pile of trash and I dug him out”.
I arch a brow.
“You... Ruth-Alma Emerson... rummaged through trash... for a dog?”.
“I care about things you know?”.
