Witness Protection Gone Wrong

[Ishigreensa]

A girl sat in a truck behind a lot of heavy stuff just as close to the cab as she could get, with very little space left for her.  She was supposed to have traveled to the United States with her mother and her older sister, but something had happened.  The nine year old had not seen her mother killed, but her older sister yelled at her to hurry.  

Just as they were climbing into the train, there was a gun shot, and her sister fell over and out of the train as it started to pull away.  Blood splatter had flown around the entry way and even splattered her in the face.

She ran to a corner of the box car she had been placed in, by her sister just before she was shot, and she hugged her knees up to her chest.  She stayed like that until she fell asleep.  The next thing she knew, she was in this other place, the truck, and it was crossing the border.

"Something is not right," she heard movement and talking outside the truck.

The girl shivered and pulled her knees up to her chest again, certain that with the truck stopped, someone was going to catch her, and shoot her now.  She had no mother left to go to.  She had no big sister.  She had no one.

That was when the CIA found the nine year old with caramel brown hair, dark eyes, and light brown skin rocking herself with her thumb in her mouth in the far corner of a cartel truck.  

When he picked her up, she had pee coming out of her pants and all over him.

Another nine year old girl from the other side of the world was now on a ship, and she traveled with strangers that she didn't know.  Her mother had been killed right in front of her, and she ran and ran until she snuck aboard a boat heading anywhere where those men weren't that killed her mother.

The CIA found her when the boat stopped in California.

Skip skip skip skip skip.

Now, the CIA had placed both girls with one officer.  They compared notes and eventually, decided that both girls needed witness protection even if they didn't really know what was going on.

And now, the agent was at a protector's door.  They had called him two days earlier to tell him that his services will be needed for two young children, and they thought it may take two or three weeks.  Little did they know, this would become a permanent thing....

[GuardianWolves]

Gabriel Tomas, a former Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection agent had been called and briefed on a situation that he was still needed, only this time, he was going to have a permanent assignment. He had been told he would be taking care of 2 nine-year old girls who were now in the witness protection program. Most people who were looking for foster children to adopt would be very happy about this prospect, especially coming from a secretive organization as the CIA. He heard the door being knocked on and he unknowingly, he just grabbed the pistol he had nearby and loaded it, he went to the door, keeping his finger off the trigger and in a low stance, just in case he had to shoot his way out of this scenario, since he had not been told when the agents were going to come. He looked through the door and saw two men in black suits and opened the door slightly and peered out through the opening.

"Gabriel Thomas?" One of the men asked, who had his hand held by a small girl who seemed to be scared and not sure of what was going on and or understanding it either

"Yes, who's asking?"

"Agents Rose and Lyden of US Central Intelligence Agency, witness protection section, you got a call last week about an assignment, may we come in?"

"Wait one, and I will unlock the door." He said as he unlocked the door and just put his gun away and opened the door completely and let them in.

He waited for them to come in and watched the girls who followed the two agents and sat down in between the two agents and they looked at Gabriel, one of them carrying a large binder/folder.

[Ishigreensa]

Each girl had arrived from a different route since the truck that carried the girl that they were going to name Imelda came from Texas, and the girl they were going to call Kim came from California.

They had just met at a nearby office, and compared notes before coming to Mr. Thomas's house.

Kim looked down, her long beautiful shiny blue-black hair framed her yellow-brown face making it look a bit lighter than the Brazilian girl's face.  Kim was a little fat and had thick arms and heavy legs.  She had been on the boat for so long without clean clothes and even a  bathroom, that she got used to not having a bathroom.

Imelda was a bit thinner and smaller and Kim.  She had large dark eyes and she seemed so delicate, someone might just push her over, and she might break!  She saw a seat and rushed over to sit down.

Kim frowned at the other girl and looked back at the three adults.

Imelda didn't look up at any of the adults, not even once.  She kept her eyes lowered at all times.

[GuardianWolves]

"So, I understand this was gonna originally be a 2-3 week thing, but obviously you coming to me with the large Manila folder means that something has changed in the last week or so to warrant you guys having this on you?" Gabriel asked the agents, who looked at each other for a moment and then back at Mr. Thomas and looked at each other one more time before they sighed and just nodded.

"Yes, the um...situation has become a little bit more precarious than originally known to us at the agency. Apparently, both of our informants who were going to help us close this case, were killed by cartel members on the way here with the two girls you see. Now we've had to um...give them new identities so to speak, so that way the cartel members will not know who these girls are or who they were related to. After all the trauma that they have most likely taken on, we believe a more...permanent housing assignment is necessary in this case."

 

"Everything you need to know is in the folder, we will leave you three to get acquainted, obviously as you know, as a former agent of a federal law enforcement agency, the situation will be precarious for a while, we will keep an eye on the situation and keep you updated, but we will also be giving a support detail for 1 week, you will know what to look for, this is for the protection of the two children, contact will be terminated once the case has been fully closed, at that time, an agent will come around and give you a full debriefing, but for now, just be aware some people in very high places are watching to see how this case turns out, between us and you as a fair warning."

The two Agents then stood up and walked out of the door and left. The two girls were now left with him permanently, now this was definitely something he had not expected, but then again you never knew with the CIA. Regardless though he now was here and even happier for it than he was before. He can't imagine what the two had been through before they had ended up here in a house that was new and scary to them and a man who they didn't know all together.

[Ishigreensa]

The girl known as Imelda continued to look at the floor while the men spoke, scared to move.  She couldn't follow what they were saying because she had very little exposure to English.

She felt herself start to pee, but she didn't care.  She just stood there, looking down, shaking, worried about what was next.  Her thumb was in her mouth.

The other girl, Kim, kept looking at the men until they left, well two of them.  Then she walked cautiously over to the man that was left and looked up at him.

"Hello." she said.

She knew a word or two in English, but she had little time to practice it, so she couldn't follow what the men said when they were speaking fast and using words she didn't know.  

[GuardianWolves]

"Hello there, I'm Gabriel, what's your name?" He asked, surprised that at least one of the girls seemed to know a little bit of English at least. But he figured it wouldn't be that much and he would still have to teach the girls how to speak proper English and understand what people are saying. He noticed the other girl was shaking a little bit and knew that she was worried because this was something different and scary to her. Once he had heard her name, he went over to the other little girl and got down on her level and tried to look in her eyes and said in a language he thought she could understand "Hello there, my name is Gabriel, can you tell me what your name is?"

He watched her and the other girl, but mostly keeping his attention on the one that seemed to be a little bit more afraid of him than the one who seemed to be a little bit more open, but possibly scared still. He did however also notice that the girl he was keeping most of his attention on was starting to pee, as evidenced by the sudden stain he was saying on her already dirty clothes, at least he thought it was pee, he couldn't be sure though.

Regardless though, he wanted to get the girls clean and let them have clean clothes for a while and decided to give them a bath "Hey you two, how about I give you girls a bath so that you can get out of your dirty clothes, I have clean ones for you two when your finished, I know it isn't very good to be stuck in the same dirty clothes for a long time and that's why I wanna give you two a bath." He said as he added "I'm sure that you two will feel much better afterwards."

[Ishigreensa]

The girls looked at him, Imelda still not up at his eyes, but yet in his direction.  She couldn't really understand him even when he tried a language he thought she spoke.  She spoke a little different Portuguese than most people from Brazil because she was also from a native tribe, and so mostly, they used words from the native language when they spoke.

She did understand that he was talking to her though because he was looking at her.

Kim answered.  "Kim"  That was what she was told to answer.  She was never ever to tell anyone her real name.  The people that got her from the boat told her that she was in danger.  The person that killed her mom was looking for her, and the only way to hide, would be to answer only to Kim.  So, she was to forever give up the names she had been used to for the last nine years.

She started to cry at that thought.

Imelda heard Kim start to cry, and she got big tears in her eyes, too.  She kept seeing her sister, falling backwards off of the train after blood splattering everywhere from something striking her body so fast that she had barely registered it was a bullet.

Imelda was shaking, but she didn't make a sound.  She just let tears fall down her face.

Neither of the girls understood him when he said they should take a bath.

[GuardianWolves]

He saw them crying and felt really bad, had he said something bad without realizing it? Regardless though he wanted them to not have to feel upset and just brought them both close to him and gave them both a, what he thought they needed, comforting hug and just let them stay there or leave as long as they needed or wanted to. He just gave them a warm smile as he looked at them and just hoped the were alright. Once he thought that they had settled down and weren't as upset anymore, he simply lifted both girls up into his arms and just brought them to the bathroom and set them down, as he intended to give them a bath and let them have clean clothes and just feel better. Maybe if they wanted to later, they could take a nap because they had a long day and probably were gonna be tired after their bath.

[Ishigreensa]

The girls understood that they were now where they were going to be living for a while, so when he got them calm enough to pick them up, they just let him.  It was definitely obvious now, that Breanna had peed her pants because as he lifted her up, she was so soaked that she got his clothes wet.

Kim shook as he carried them and soon, they were in the bathroom.

Breanna looked at the floor, her face red hot with embarrassment that that white toilet stood there taunting her because she had been unable and unwilling to speak up before about needing it.

Kim looked at the toilet, too, but she didn't know what to do.  Her pants were still dry if quite dirty.  Of course, they were stained from her peeing herself multiple times before getting there, but at the moment, they were dry.

She turned and looked up at the man who called himself Gay-brial?  She wasn't sure if she was saying the name the same way he did in her mind, but that was the closest she could come.

She pointed at the toilet and looked up at him again.

[GuardianWolves]

Gabriel looked at Kim when she pointed at the toilet and understood what she wanted and helped her with her pants and panties before lifting her up onto the toilet and letting her sit down on it to pee and turned his attention to Imelda and started to help her get undressed at the same time saying to her slowly and hoping she would be able to understand "am-not-mad-about-accident-you-were-scared-and-upset." He then finished helping her with her dirty clothes and started the water for the bath while Kim was still going pee and wondered if the girls would need to go after the nap they might take or if something might happen in there sleep. He wasn't mad about the accidents and wouldn't be ever.

 

[Ishigreensa]

Kim sat there, trying to relax while he prepared Imelda and then got the bath ready.  She was still very nervous, and while it wasn't ideal for her to pee in front of a stranger, at least she wasn't being forced to do it in her clothes.

Eventually, she started to pee just as he finished getting Imelda undressed.

Imelda didn't understand what he was trying to say, and she was too shocked and scared to fight him from taking off her wet clothes, not to mention, that it felt good not to wear those wet pants anymore.

Her privates were a little red and swollen, something that might be fixed if he went to get ointment for her, but it would probably be a good idea to see a doctor about it first to make sure he was getting the right stuff.

Kim's privates were a little red, too, and a little torn in places from scratched off fungus caused by wearing wet pants for too long, and then itching because of it.

Kim got off of the toilet when she finished peeing, and she looked up at Gabriel wondering if he wanted her to get in the bath tub.

[GuardianWolves]

He got one of the girls into the bath and then as Kim got off the toilet and looked at him, he told her "come on, let's get your clothes off and then get you into the bath as well." He said as he smiled at her and helped her by taking off her shirt and then followed by her pants and her underwear before he saw that both girls privates were a little swollen and torn and just in general looking painful for her as far as he could see anyways, but he didn't know yet. He would then lift her into the bath and once both girls were in, he just started to lather up their hair until it was at a good enough level. He would have to find a way to gently wash between their legs unless they decided to wash between their legs on their own.

[Ishigreensa]

The girls didn't fuss too much as he washed their hair.  It felt nice to have clean hair again, and though they still didn't know him at all, something about him made them feel comfortable and safe.

As he washed their backs and their stomachs, the girls relaxed.

They were really tired after a long trip of having no where decent, really to sleep, at least nowhere decent that they felt safe at.  So, as he started to finish washing them, they started to close their eyes and were making little snoring sounds, though they kept jerking their heads up and trying to stay awake.

[GuardianWolves]

He noticed that the girls were starting to get tired and he quickly tried to finish getting them clean as fast as he could, while being as thorough as possible and just get them out of the bath and then a towel around each child before scooping them up into his arms and bringing them to the room he had setup that they would share while they were staying with him. Once he had both girls in the room, he set them down and got some clothes for them both before dressing both girls individually starting with Kim and then he would do Imelda, but he made sure to get both girls into underwear first so that way they weren't completely naked and wouldn't feel as cold. He then put a powder blue princess t-shirt and a similar colored undershirt on Kim and helped her step into some pj bottoms of matching color to her shirt and then helped Imelda into some sleep clothes as well and then lifted each child into the bed they were going to share and tucked them in before giving each child a light peck on their forehead and left them to get some sleep and went to the next room which was connected to Kim and Imelda's room and they could just get out of bed to walk over and see him when they were ready.

[Ishigreensa]

Kim was easy to get dressed, almost like putty in his hands as she let him dress her into clean clothes.  If he was going to do something to her, he would have already done so by the time he had taken her to the bedroom naked.  It seemed all he was doing, was dressing her in clean clothes, and that, she could live with.

Imelda, however, even after watching him dress Kim, was not as confident that he was going to leave them alone after dressing them.  She crossed her arms and closed her legs as tightly as she could, even when he was trying to put her panties on her.  He had to fight to get her panties on her, and now, putting a shirt and bottoms on her was a lot harder as she doubled down on making it hard for him to dress her.

Tired, she maybe, but she had learned the hard way, a long time ago, not to relax your defenses in front of men who were still strangers.  She watched him like a hawk, not letting him touch her when she could prevent it, and stiffening up and covering her body as rigidly as she could when she couldn't stop him touching her.

[GuardianWolves]

Despite Imelda's fighting and stubbornness when it came to him dressing her, he simply remained patient and calm with her, not trying to make her feel uncomfortable at all. Once he had her in PJs, he lifted them both into bed and then just tucked them in and gave them each a light kiss on the forehead before going into the room next to them where they could easily come and get him if they needed or wanted him for anything. He did not want to make them afraid of him and wanted to earn their trust so that they could be comfortable in the current situation.

[Ishigreensa]

Eventually, the tiredness won out, and she couldn't prevent him getting her dressed.  When she was in her sleeping clothes that he had for her, she realized he wasn't going to do anything mean to her, and she fell asleep.

The girls slept peacefully for about four hours before Kim woke up and walked out to the other room looking for him.

Imelda was still asleep.

[GuardianWolves]

As soon as Gabriel noticed Kim looking for him, he called out to her "Hey there sweetheart, come over here, did you have a good nap?" He asked her as he looked at her and waited for her to come over to him and maybe sit down next to him on the bed if she wanted to since this was his room and he wanted to be sure that she was okay. After all they had been through, he wouldn't be surprised if one of them had a bedtime accident. He wouldn't blame them, neither would he get mad at them if they did have an accident and would simply clean them up and then put them in clean clothes if they did have accidents at any time, whether it be during the day or the night.

[Ishigreensa]

Kim wasn't wet at all.  

She walked over closer to him when he called her, and she smiled shyly.

"It said to us.  We stay?" she asked.

She walked over and sat next to him.

Kim sighed and leaned against him.  She wasn't sure what else to do.  She had no more family, and he had taken care of her a bit earlier.  Even if she didn't want to, she saw no other options, so she might as well try to build a relationship now.  She just hoped he didn't turn out like the others that 'took care of her' before.

[GuardianWolves]

"Yeah, you both are gonna be staying here with me and I get to raise you." He told her as he smiled and just kept his eyes on her and then held one of his arms out in case she wanted to come and snuggle up to him if she wanted to. He would smile with her being there next to him and would ask "So, what does this little girl like?" He asked her slowly as he smiled and waited for her response and wondered if his other little girl would be up soon so that the three of them could try and spend some time together.

[Ishigreensa]

Kim went right into his open arms and sat on his lap.

"What I like what?" she asked.  "I don't know you asking question."

She snuggled up into him.

 

IN the other room, a lake started to pour out of the pants and then all over the bed around a certain little girl that was still asleep.  She whimpered in her sleep, and tears ran down her cheeks as she laid there, peeing herself.  But other than a quiet whimper, she made no other sounds.

She was dreaming, or more like, having a nightmare.

[GuardianWolves]

"Is there something fun that you like to do?"

"Do you have any fun toys that you like to play with?"

"Do you like cartoons?"

He asked each question slowly and would pause between each question for her answer before he would ask the next question. He gave her a warm smile as she snuggled up into him. He could tell she was trying to make a relationship with him as his new daughter. He just hoped the other child would come around just as Kim was doing at the moment.

[Ishigreensa]

Kim shrugged.  Being a normal child with normal likes seemed like something a hundred years ago to her since all this started.  She didn't know what she liked doing anymore.

"I can't think anything fun for long long time," she said stretching her hands apart to emphasize like she had seen some kids do in American shows that came to China.  "What do kids do here?"

 

Imelda eventually woke up, but then she felt the wetness around her, and that made her too scared to move.  She stayed there, waiting for the punishment that should come soon.  Maybe if she didn't make a sound, and she stayed there until they came to get her, they wouldn't be too mad about her peeing in her sleep.

She thought about the nightmare she had had because it included her sister, her mother, her family.  she missed them so much!

[GuardianWolves]

"Well kids in America usually play outside with each other, they like to play games like tag and hide and go seek. They also like to watch tv and spend time with their families and friends." He told her as he let her snuggle and thought she was being super cute when she held her arms out as wide as they could possibly go and he just silently aww'ed in his mind as he just snuggled with her in his lap and thought he heard some moving coming from the next room but he couldn't be sure

 

[Ishigreensa]

Kim looked up at the man that was supposed to replace her mommy and she sighed.  He was nice.  She almost wanted him to be mean.  She didn't want anyone to take her mommy's place, but she didn't know how to tell him this, so she just relaxed in his arms, still welcoming the safe feeling he provided even if it did feel a little bit like he was trying to replace her mommy.

From in the bedroom, Imelda made no other sounds for a while.

About half an hour went by, when she felt her face heat up, and she knew that she had to risk getting in trouble, or maybe make things worse.

Shaking so badly that when she was at the edge of the bed, it rattled against the wall, she started to climb out of bed.  She expected at least a good yelling if not some hitting for her soaked pajamas, but it couldn't be helped.  She had to accept the hitting so she could go to the bathroom and not have something worse to deal with on top of getting hit.
