"I miss you guys too."
Molly's voice choked with emotion.
She sniffled and turned to look at Sean.
Her eyes glistened with unshed tears, which was enough to make everyone's heart ache.
Sean felt a tug at his heartstrings. The corners of his mouth lifted into a gentle smile. "I knew you missed them, so I asked Mr. Ballard to bring them along."
Mr. Ballard came up and chuckled at the sight of how the three little ones clung to Molly. "These kids kept asking 'are we there yet?' the whole way here. My ears are practically calloused."
"Thank you for bringing them over."
Molly looked at him gratefully.
Mr. Ballard pretended to scowl at her. "I'm your teacher, remember?"
Molly smiled. "Yeah."
She wiped away a tear and took Alex and Ben by the hand.
As for Claudia, she let Sean hold her.
Mr. Ballard smiled, pleased. Then he asked, "Is everything going well here?"
Molly nodded. "Yeah. We rescued Logan. He's no longer under the control of the research base."
The news surprised and delighted the old man. "That's wonderful. He is finally free."
Seeing him so happy, Molly felt that all their efforts had been worth it.
"Are you feeling well?"
She asked and then added apologetically, "That was a long trip for you."
"Silly girl," Mr. Ballard chided gently. "Don't worry about me. We're family, and that's what I do."
Molly smiled. "You're right."
"That's more like it."
