969 The kids are growing up

~ Los Angeles, Cliffside villa ~

Emma arrived at the Cliffside villa and before she rang the doorbell, her attention got pulled to the noise coming from the garden.

Emma was surprised to see Sarah arguing with the kids. Sarah was saying 'no', but the teenagers (and three pre-teens) were not budging.

"Boss, you need to take us with you!", Zula protested.

"No. You are too young.", Sarah rejected.

Ade's small boyish face frowned. "You always say that! We want to go with you now! Not in ten years!"

"It's not fair that Jesse and Haru can go! If they are going, so are we!", Imani lifted her chin defiantly.

Sarah sighed helplessly. "Listen… some things are not for kids. You are young. I don't want to risk you getting traumatized."

"Traumatized? From what? Don't you know from what kind of a hell you rescued us?", Nala asked.
