New York City 1962
Aged 15
"I cannot believe you" Anthony said as they both sat down on the bus back to Manhattan. It had been the first words which he had said to Lily since he had arrived at the station. He was the only person who she could think of calling in the situation at hand. She turned to look at her brother with a very serious face, and Lee felt herself shrink into the bus seat. "You got arrested Lee, what will Mom and Dad think?"
"There only giving me community service ‘cause I'm a minor." Lee replied in a very small voice. She may have been smarter and braver than Anthony, but he was still older and she respected his judgment. Anthony looked down at her, not at all disguising the disappointment on his face. "Could you possibly not…"
"Tell them." Anthony cut across in a disgusted tone. He gave a deep sigh "If you can manage to get to your community service on you own, I won't tell them." Lee let out a large smile and reached up to hug him. "What did you do anyways?" He added as the bus halted to a stop.
"Broke into the natural history museum." She replied dryly. Anthony looked at her with a raised eyebrow before breaking into laughter "What I needed a diagram of a Tyrannosaurs, and Mom and Dad don’t own a set of encyclopedias."
