"Wait a minute... Are you telling me Debbie just walked into someone's yard and stole a child?" Carl asked his eyes wide, Sophia was no better she stood next to him supporting him.

"Yeah." Fiona said rubbing her forehead.

"How was she able to do that? It was a birthday party right? Were there no adults there?" Sophia couldn't help but ask.

He honestly was bewildered not knowing how not a single person couldn't have seen Debbie do this, sure it was the Southside and shit happened all the time, but a kid getting taken right from the front yard. That just didn't make any sense, someone in that neighborhood had to have seen it happen or walk by and see it happen.

It honestly shook him that she would do something like this, what on earth was her problem?

He looked to his sister who wasn't even looking regretful as she sat at the table, from what he heard when he walked into the house earlier she was more upset that they were telling her to return him. Sighing he shook his head, he didn't need to give himself a headache thinking of this.

"So what's the plan?" He asked while taking a seat.

"We need to get Casey back without the cops finding out about this." Fiona says staying the obvious as if they wanted Debbie to get in trouble.

"Going to be kind of hard with all the cops around, I mean hell they even have Helicopters out there." Kevin says while running a hand through his hair.

"Well we need to do something." Fiona snaps worry clear in her tone.

"I think I might have something." Lip says with a thoughtful look.

From there they begin to plan it all out, Lip really did think it over while everyone else seemed to be arguing, they had to do this perfectly though or it wouldn't work. To start Kevin needed to go into work and talk about spotting Casey walking down the street in his superman outfit, from there it was just a trickling domino effect for everyone else.

They all needed to be at a specific place making calls at the right time, to late and it would ruin the next person who was suppose to call to early and things would look suspicious. Carl just wanted to hurry and get it over with, there was no way that he could sit still about this, his nerves were actually becoming shot thanks to this actually.

Sophia followed him right out the door as they got there place to be, there was no way he could stay and hang out with Debby when she was being like this, something was seriously wrong with her. He didn't think Fiona was taking this seriously at all though, she obviously needed help but Fiona wasn't hearing none of it, they all just planned to ignore it.

"What's wrong?" Sophia asked as they made their was down the street towards the payphone they needed to be at.

Carl rubbed his forehead, "Don't act like you don't know, they are ignoring it all together. Please don't act like them."

She nodded sighing him looping her arm through his and laying her head on his shoulder, "Yeah, I just figured you wouldn't want it pointed out. Do you want to talk about it?"

"She needs help. I noticed it when they took back 'aunt Ginger' that she was acting different, but no one would address it. They all just kept saying she will get over it, clearly she hasn't."

"Why don't you talk to her?"

"Because clearly she needs a mother or something. It was obvious by how attached she got to the woman, with them doing so much together she just wanted that feeling in her life more.

Fiona is to busy working any and every job she can get to help, Lip is more worried about sticking his tongue down Karen's throat, Ian is well Ian, so there isn't really anyone there for her.

I can't be a strong figure in her life, we are a year apart, it would be weird if she saw me as anything else. All I can do is be there as her brother." Carl said ranting knowing there was nothing he could do.

Sophia let him rant to, occasionally she would squeeze his arm as he did so but she never interrupted and when he finished she just let the silence hang in the air rather then say anything. Which he as grateful for as he wasn't looking for anything other then someone listening to him, he didn't want to have someone try to fix the situation.

Unless of course they were actually someone in the family, but he could forget about it being Frank or Monica, those two just wouldn't step up no matter what the situation was.

When Sophia and Carl made it to the corner where they needed to wait he sat down next to the booth, Sophia followed sitting in his lap as she quote 'Didn't want to sit on the dirty ground's and began playing on her phone. He didn't mind either as he was making comments over her shoulder, she was playing BitLife, something he enjoyed also in his past life.

"Will you stop it, you are already in debt in life and you can't keep wasting your money on the lottery." He complained looking at her character while rolling his eyes.

"No, I know I can get this. I will just keep buying it until I hit it, not.my fault my parents didn't want to pay for my college and I couldn't get a scholarship." She said frowning.

"Well maybe if you didn't spend all your time making friends to be popular then you would have got at least the scholarship."

She didn't respond but grunted as she kept playing, Carl rolled his eyes before checking the time on his phone, seeing it was near time he went ahead and stood up while anchoring Sophia who didn't move away. As the minute changed over he put in the call, he acted just like a kid who was excited to be helping the cops by seeing the little boy.

He didn't bother explaining either about it as they asked, Lip told him to keep it simple and hang up so he did, he didnt want to mess this up and have Debbie get taken away. Technically they could all get taken away for this because this was a big example of neglectful parenting, letting a child steal another child, yeah big no no.

"Alright, to Shelia's house." Carl announced taking Sophia's hand as she didn't look away from her screen. She was addicted to the game he could swear it, but then again it was fun because there were just some many different things to do.

(A/N: I actually play this all the time, I am seriously obsessed.)

As they got to the street he became a little nervous at all the police that were there, it was just to real at that moment but thankfully he was able to keep his composure as he walked up to his family. He went to stand next to Lip and Ian as they watched Debbie walk down the street with Casey they both were smiling as they did so.

The moment they got near people noticed, Fiona acted as if she hadn't seen Debbie in awhile and was proud of her, but he did see her stuff the cape to the superman suit into her hands. The father of Casey thanked her while bringing his wallet, and soon it was raining different dollar bills around a smiling Debby.

"I told you we'd find him. My Debbie found him! A Gallagher saved the day! You bunch of losers." Frank says as he begins to crouch down and pick up the money that people were throwing to Debby.

All four of them step forward, of course Sophia is still attached to her phone and only moved since she was still holding on to him, while Ian and Lip stepped on his greedy hands, "That's Debs." Lip said.

"I know I'm just helping her.." he was cut off as they stepped harder on his hands.

"Ow! Those are my hands, now listen here I am your father and you will OW! OW! OW!" He started to scream before releasing the money that he was holding on to so that they would let up.

Carl rolled his eyes and helped them collect the rest as Frank walked away drinking his beer and grumbling, they made sure he didn't even get the smallest bill since he was just a mooch anyway. Looking at the sky he could see that it was getting altered which meant he needed to get Sophia home, he was pretty sure her father wouldn't allow her to spend the night.

"Come on Sophia, we need to get you home before it gets to late. I don't need your father trying to kill me." He said taking her hand, "I will meet you guys at the house later." He told Lip and Ian who nodded.

Sophia smiled to them saying goodbye before following him, they walked under the tracks chuckling as a train passed over them making their teeth chatter. "So you work on that song tonight, then show it to me tomorrow okay? After some rehearsal we can get started on that video." She said to him after the train passed.

He nodded, "Alright, but remember that we only have two weeks left. We can't switch it again because that would kill the amount of time we do have."

She nodded, "Yeah I know. But I know this is a good idea this time, way better then what we were going to do with Little Hank, that way for you it can be more private.....and violent."

"Awe!," he mockingly cooed at her, "You know me so well."

"I am to please."

Laughing they reached her house and he nodded to the two men who were outside, they nodded back having seen him a lot over the past month that they sometimes even talked to him when he came by. Sophia gave him a hard hug before kissing his cheek and going inside, he sent a quick wave to her mom who was on the couch and saw him before the door shut.

Not minding he took off back to the house, no doubt the family was there already celebrating their 'win' just the thought made him roll his eyes, to him today was definitely not a win. It was another situation where they skated by, which was making him see more and more that to his family there were more then happy to straddle that line of the law and breaking it.

Whatever, he was beginning not to care, they say you only live once, but this was his second time so that obviously wasn't true to him. He did plan to live this life how he wanted though, he really didn't plan on holding back seeing as he did that in his past life and it got him no where.

Reaching the house he could hear music playing inside and sighed as he walked in, they were in full party mode but he noticed it was because Veronica and Kevin were apparently getting married. Which made him happy for them, he decided not to bring up what he originally wanted to with the family as not to be a party killer.

Though he could see that Kevin was all that excited, he acted like it but he truly wasn't, "You okay Kev?" He asked standing next to the man.

"Yeah Carl I am good, just some stuff going on." He sighed downing his beer before walking away.

Carl didnt push, he was just a child to the man after all so he didn't really think the man would tell him anything deep anyway. Later that night the only good thing to come from this entire thing was the fact that Debbie got them a new water heater, after the one Ian and Lip had got was stolen.

So after a hot shower he went to bed putting Debbie's stuff in the back of his mind.
