Nevada couldn't explain the relief she felt at that news. The relief was short lived as she realized he didnt bother to come to her himself.
'he couldn't come over here himself?' Nevada asked, 'you two were what 50 feet away?' Nevada shook her head

"That's what I said," Kennedy said softly. She shook her head. "Come on. He said this was important," she started teetering off into the direction of her home.

Nevada stood in place, arms crossed over her chest.
'you go. Take Mikey. I'll go back to the lodging house in Brooklyn.'

"Please, Nevada?" Kennedy said, whirling around. "I know you're a badass and in love with Tristan and I'm just Kennedy, but Nancy just died and... And I need help. Please."

Nevada stared long and hard Kennedy. 'you honestly think trying to make me feel bad is going to make me want to help?' Nevada asked between clenched teeth. She wanted to leave even more but she realized Kennedy hadnt upset her.
'fine.' she relented, 'lead the way'

Kennedy refrained from saying anything further. She didn't give a shit if Nevada was guilt into this or not -- far from her intention. She just literally couldn't hold Mikey anymore.
"Could you take him?" she asked, trying not to blush.

Nevada reached forward and took Mikey into her arms, rubbing his back trying to soothe him.
'where are we going?'

"My folks'. They ain't far from here," Kennedy said, holding her elbow. "Come on, we gotta be fast. Tristan's made me feel like we're being watched."
Kennedy scurried off, leading Nevada and Mikey along a winding path in the darkened alleyways. When her paranoia subsided, she went through one more back alley which opened up to a shabby-looking neighborhood. She tried not to look around them too much as she hopped up the steps of her apartment complex.
They had to climb three flights of stairs before Kennedy shoved open the unlocked door of her home -- there was clutter everywhere which included a bit of a jam against the door. A few stacks of newspapers fell over as she slid in and waved Nevada through.

Nevada looked around the apartment. It wasn't much. Though it's not like most apartments WERE much. She cradled Mikey who was still fussing and frowned, 'I'm sorry love,' she said sadly, 'your dad will be here soon.' she said quietly. She looked up to Kennedy, 'you need help with anything?'

Kennedy's ears perked up at the sound coming from the only other room... Her parents.
"...Have you ever reset a shoulder before?" she whispered, trying to keep the noise down while her parents worked.

Nevada looked at Kennedy wide eyed. 'um....no. I've never....do you need me to do that for you?' she asked nervously

"I can't lift my arm, and it really hurts," Kennedy was already whimpering. "I'm sorry."

Nevada set Mikey down on a couch and cracked her knuckles. 'no I'm sorry because I have no idea what I'm doing....and I can get queasy,' she warned her. 'okay-just let me know when you're ready.'

Kennedy nodded and closed her eyes tightly. She clamped down on her other hand with her teeth. She nodded once more.

Nevada shakily put her hands on Kennedy, one on her shoulder, the other on her upper arm.
'okay--here goes nothing.' Nevada said nervously. In a quick move Nevada did what she thought felt right. She heard a pop and was certain it was back where it was supposed to be. The sound and the feel of it under her hands made her dizzy and she collapsed on the ground willing herself not to pass out.
