"I'm unsure of where she should be but I am certain that it was on this floor," Felicia stated, looking around the apartment floor. "I was just here a few minutes ago...or maybe it was an hour?"

"How would we know which door to knock on then?" Ishizu asked, seeing how many apartments are on this floor. "There's too many to choose from!"

"I think I know what to do," Mrs. Wood said with some confidence in her voice. "I used to do this a lot when she and the boys were kids." She cleared her throat and called out, "Lizzy!!!" It was such a loud shout that it could be heard from the floor above and below them. After a few moments, Felicia asked,

"How does that help us find your child?"

"We have a big house back where we're from," Mrs. Wood explained, glancing around all of the doors. "I have to call out the kids whenever they're all over the house. Hopefully, she'll actually have heard it." Suddenly, one of the apartment front doors swung open wide and Lizzy peeked out into the hallway.

"Hello?" Lizzy exclaimed, not looking at the other women yet. "I heard my name and I heard it clear!"

"Over here, Lizzy," Felicia said aloud. The girl in question turned to her and gasped when she saw Mrs. Wood.

"Mama!!" she shouted, running towards Mrs. Wood and hugging her tight. "I'm glad you're okay, Mama. What exactly happened in Cairo?"

"I'll explain later, honey. We should get to your apartment so that you can get the books we would need."

"Okay!" Lizzy dashed in the opposite direction of where they are standing and quickly unlocked the door.

"Wait, this wasn't your apartment?" Mrs. Wood said aloud, following her daughter and quickly glancing at the place that Lizzy got out of.

"Nope! That's one of my friends' apartments. I just unlocked the door to mine." The older woman nodded and kept following her.

"Liz, you left the door open," Jaden announced, walking out of the apartment to find her.

"That's okay Jay," Lizzy called out before entering her apartment. "There's people here to see us."

"Oh!" Jaden glanced at where Lizzy was and exclaimed, "Hi, Mrs. Wood!"

"Didn't I tell you to call me Mama Leilei?" Mrs. Wood laughed with a smile. "You've been a part of the family for so long."

"I forget about that...Hi, Mama Leilei! How did you get here so fast?"

"Oh I had a flight that was scheduled for the United States but I changed it."

"That quick?!"

"The airport I was in allowed me to do it."

"Cool!"

"Okay, I got the books Mama," Lizzy spoke, walking slowly to Mrs. Wood with the three heavy books in hand. "Now let's go bring it to the other apartment...can you help me please?"

"Of course, sweetie," she said with a chuckle. Mrs. Wood grabbed one of the heavy books and the two walked back to the other apartment.

"Do you need help?" Ishizu asked as they walked closer.

"I'll be fine."

"Me too!" Lizzy agreed with a grin. "I can carry the two big books."

"How do you do that?" Jaden asked puzzled.

"I just do!!"
