Chapter 3: Heading Out
After a few hours of sitting in comfortable silence while watching TV with Ms. Jewel and the twins (whom later on decided to watch/listen with you after getting bored of their toys: Crystal to your right and Damien to your left), (Name) then turned her head to look over at Ms. Jewel, reaching a hand towards the older woman as she gently tapped on her shoulder to grab her attention before signing to her once Ms. Jewel had turned her head to look at her.
"Ms. Jewel, would it be alright with you if I could go and explore the town for a bit?" (Name) signed.
After reading what she had signed, Ms. Jewel then hummed in thought at the given question, glancing over to her left at a large circular clock that hanged up on a wall across the room from where they sat at as she nodded her head, knowing deep down of the reason as to why the (hair color)-colored hair teen had asked of this. "Alright, you may go. I trust you enough that you can walk around by yourself without any needs of parental supervision, but I greatly advise that you keep your phone on you at all times and be very mindful of your surroundings."
But when Ms. Jewel had said this, (Name) then tilted her head in a confused gesture, indicating to the older woman that she was questioning on why she had so strongly suggested on those given instructions as Crystal also listened in, having to have overheard the conversation accidentally and began to question what was going on.
"There is a...highly classified reason as to why I'm giving you these instructions, but..." the older woman begins to say, her voice sounding as though she was unsure about something as she got up from the couch. "Since they go out at certain times in an hourly basis throughout the day and night...I'm guessing you've already...seen them?"
After immediately understanding what Ms. Jewel was implying, the (hair color)-colored hair teen then nodded her head, continuing to talk with her hands afterwards.
"Yes, I have. Damien has seen them also. They've droved right pass us this morning when we were stopping at a red light, with two more following after them. While they were passing by, we've noticed that in the driver's seat of one of the vehicles that there was no one visible actually driving it. This sight did perk our curiosity, but we didn't choose to dwell on it since we were more focused on arriving to your location."
"What kind of vehicle was it, if I may ask?"
"A red Dodge Challenger."
This made Ms. Jewel nod her head at the response as she put her left hand up to her chin in thought, a look of recollection hinting through her amber-colored eyes.
"Sharp eyes, extent observational skills, and a high amount of intellectual knowledge on identifying mobile vehicles with a single glance. Very impressive," she mumbles quietly.
But as she said that, her eyes then widen slightly, seemingly realizing what she had just said as she shook her head, trying to get rid of the sudden thought process that plugged itself into her mind. "I'm dreadfully sorry about that. Um, will you be taking one of your vehicles with you by any chance?"
(Name) shook her head at the question, putting up a finger towards the older woman to tell her to wait a moment as she gave her twin siblings a pat on the head (which made Damien glance up at her in slight confusion as to why she did so) before getting up from the couch, heading off into the hallway towards the direction of where her new bedroom was (which will be shown later on).
Once going into the bedroom and finding what she needed, (Name) then walked out and presented the item that she'll be using as a mode of transportation to Ms. Jewel, whom was now standing in the hallway as the older woman nodded her head in approval, seeing that the item that the (hair color)-colored hair teen had chosen was a skateboard. (picture of skateboard--->)

"A skateboard, huh. Good choice. But don't forget to bring something to carry your notepad and pencils or pens in. You may never know when someone in Jasper might want to actually talk to you, as you are a stranger and all."
"Already got it covered," (Name) signs, showing her the backpack that she has currently hanging on her dominate shoulder as Ms. Jewel nodded her head once more in approval. (picture of backpack--->)

As the two females were in the midst of "talking", Crystal then waved her hand over to where she assumed where her twin brother was, grabbing Damien's attention successfully as she felt the two-colored hair boy gave his hand for her to use before she began to trace something down onto his palm with her right finger.
"I would like to go to Big Sis, please," she traces.
This made Damien nod his head at the request, gently grabbing onto his younger twins' hand to help her get down off of the couch as he lead her into the direction of where he last saw his older sister and Ms. Jewel heading off to.
Once getting to the location of where they were, he then knocked on the wall beside him three times, instantly grabbing the attention of the two older females as Crystal then beings tapping away on the wall beside her, a worried look held in her foggy heterochromatic eyes.
"Where are you going, Big Sis?" she tapped, her other hand slightly gripped onto Damien's in an equally worried fashion as she continued. "You're not leaving us, are you?"
(Name) usually emotionless features seem to have saddened a bit, knowing full well that Crystal is usually worried about her whenever she goes out as she quickly taps back on the wall beside her in response.
"No sweetheart. I'm just going out to explore the town for a bit," she taps, walking over to the blind girl to bend down onto her knees so she can talk to the twins more closely as she continued tapping away some more on the wall next to Crystal. "It'll only be for a few hours, so do not worry about me, alright? You know full well that I'll always come back, to both you and your brother, like I'll always do."
After that, (Name) then proceeded to gently rub the top of Crystal's head with her other hand, whom then gently brings it down towards her face so that she can hold it against her cheek instead as the (hair color)-colored hair teen turned her head to look over at Damien, using her other hand that she used to tap on the wall with to sign to him.
"I'll be back from exploring the town. Watch out for your sister while I'm gone, and remember to behave for Ms. Jewel, alright?"
The heterochromatic-eyed boy nodded his head, understanding fully on what he was suppose to do as (Name) reached over to repeat the same action that she did to Crystal before gently taking her hands off of the twins to get back up to continue her talk witg Ms. Jewel. "I'll be heading off now, Ms. Jewel."
The older woman nodded her head once again. "Alright. You already have my phone number, so text me if anything goes wrong, and record or take pictures of the situation to give evidence as to what's happening in case I need to show it to the police when contacted. Video Chat me if possible. And I would like for you to come home before 9:30pm or 10:00pm, even though I'll gladly appreciate it if you come home around dinner time, which will start around 6:00pm or 6:30pm--depending on what I'll be making for dinner tonight. Also..."
Then the older woman laid a hand on the taller female's shoulder and gave it a light squeeze, a soft look plastering itself onto her young-looking features. "Stay safe, okay? I do not wish for you to get into any trouble with your stay here in Jasper, especially if it's on your first day."
(Name) nodded her head for the final time, understanding what the older woman was saying as she did a two-finger salute and patted her siblings on the head one more time before walking out the front door.
