Note: I know I kept you waiting for ever to see if I was going to write a sequel to Close but Far Away and it took me a minute to see how I was going to write it. Well hope you enjoy!

One year later…..

Four year old Jamie Chiba sat on her big brother's bed holding her teddy bear, as he frantically searched his room for something. He would tell her what is was but she knew it was better to stay quiet and wait. Jason now at the age of six, felt like he was a grown up. He was more observant and quiet. Since Serena Jordan never came back to be with him and Jamie he had become more reserve. First his mother left him and then her. Jamie cried in her sleep sometime for Serena and he or his dad would come sleep beside her. He had a plan and he wasn't going to let his little sister ruin it for him by telling on him. So far his back pack was packed with his clothes and the money he found in his dad office drawer was just what he needed. He had hid it in a dirty sock on the floor and now he found it under his bed. He tucked the sock with the two hundred dollars in his back pack. He was planning on running away. He hated his step mother Cynthia and he had just what he needed to get rid of her.

(Flashback)

"Girl, I still can't believe that nanny you got rid of so cleverly. I actually believed that you liked her" one of Cynthia's friends cackled.

"It was quite easy really. She thought I had changed and that I loved those stupid brats. They are going to boarding school time Jamie is at the age of seven. It seems far now but just wait…. You know, I thought Darien could really make it work between us if that nanny was gone but it hasn't. I'm not giving up on this marriage. Do you know he had a letter written to that dumb slut asking her to forgive him and he'd leave me? Ha! The dumb ass! I found the letter he was suppose to send to her and opened it. I saw what he wrote and I decided to send her one of my own. One telling her how happy we are and blah blah blah. I signed it in his name. She never wrote back and he started sulking around here and all that. But Darien is a good man. He said those vows so now it's til death do us part." Cynthia said smugly, unaware that Jason was hiding behind the wall.

(End of Flashback)

"Jason, what are you doing?" Jamie asked whispering to her big brother.

"I can't tell you because you'll tell dad." He whispered back to her.

It was nine o'clock at night and they were supposed to be in bed. She hugged her teddy in excitement. She bounced on the bed a little.

"If you don't tell me, I'm gonna tell daddy. SO tell me!" She demanded.

Jason rolled his blue eyes at his sister. She was always trying to get around something.

"Fine, I'll tell you. I'm going to find Rena and bring her back to daddy." He whispered looking around to see if they were being spied on.

Jamie jumped on the bed and started to jump, squealing in excitement. Jason jumped up and sat his sister down.

"Be quiet will you. You'll get me caught." He hissed.

She quieted down but continued to smile.

"I wanna go." She chirped.

"No, You have to stay home. You're too little." He said sternly in a big brother way.

"You're too little too. How are you going to find her? She was in the tv the other day. You can't go into the tv." Jamie asked remembering seeing Serena on MTV.

Jason sighed. He didn't know how to tell her that it was just a show on tv. Rena didn't live in the tv now.

"Well, I heard some girls in my class go to this dance studio place and she still teaches there. She has a late class for older girls on Tuesday nights from nine to eleven. So, I got one of them to tell me how to get there so I'm going tonight. I'll be home before Daddy even knows it." He said cleverly.

Jamie wasn't sure what her brother was safe but to her he was an action hero and if he couldn't do, nobody could.

"I believe in you Jason" She whispered in awe.

Jason smiled at his little sister.

"No go get in your bed and turn the light off. I'll be back soon." He said rushing her out of his room.

He had butterflies in his stomach but he knew he wanted his daddy to be happy with him, Jamie and Rena. He seemed to not care much for anything after she left. The grownups didn't give him much credit for anything because he was little but he always listened in on conversations pretending to be doing something else. He grabbed his backpack and turned off his bed room light. He hurried out of his door and slid down the banister not to make the stairs creak. He knew Cynthia was already in their bedroom and his dad was at the office so no one would notice. He quietly crept out the back door and grabbed his bike. He jumped on and rode his bike down the light side walk in the direction of the dance studio.
