You really don't want to do this but at this point you don't have a lot of choices and you tell them to contact your sister. She lives about 50 miles away but it's been a few years since you spoke. She had been dating this girl Cindy and was getting ready to move with her for a new job. You give Jessica the number and she calls your sister Lena. She has the call on speakerphone and it went about as well as he expected.
Jessica tells her that she is with you and you were in an accident and needs her help. Lena is a bit skeptical and asks what kind of accident. Jessica says it was a lab experiment and you are in bad shape. Lena softens a bit and says "OK, Give me an address and I can be out there about 6 PM after I get done work." Jessica her the address of a building where they cafeteria is that they both work not wanting her to come to their dorm. Jessica give a description of herself and say "I'll meet you in the lobby." Lena agrees and hangs up.
Both girls have to get to class so they leave you on Hayley desk and tell you when they return they will bring you something to eat and drink before meeting your sister. You end up staying on the desk all day as you are tired of dodging college girls and just want some place stable to stay until you can figure this out. There is no reason to run anymore.
About five in the afternoon, they come back and have food and drink for you as promised. Halley needs to work a shift so they all go over to the commons building. Halley goes to check into work while Jessica waits with you in her jacket pocket.
About a minute after six, you hear Lena voice as she says "Are you Jessica? This is a university commons. I thought I was meeting you at a hospital lobby based on what you said." Jessica leads her to a side room that is more private and they sit down on a bench. "It's not like you think" Jessica tells Lena "Maybe it is better if I show you." and she withdraws you from her pocket and hold you out in her palm. You wave to her and say "Hi Lena. It's been a while."
"Holy shit!" Lena says looking at Jessica and ignoring you, "Are you frickin kidding me! How is this even possible?" You say "I'm OK, I just a lot smaller." but Lena ignores you and keeps looking at Jessica who replies "It was some science lab experiment gone wrong. You have ask him for details. They can reverse it and we are protecting him from become a lab rat."
Lena is annoyed by the whole situation and says "Maybe the shit should be a lab rat. It would serve him right." Jessica replies "Now you don't mean that. He's your brother." Lena sighs and says "I guess not" and looks down at you in Jessica's palm and says "Well you got cut down to size. Maybe you won't have as big a mouth anymore either. I'm sure you deserve this happening to you and now I have to bail you out."
Jessica hold you out and says "Do you want to hold him?" Lena responds "Not really but it's not like I have much choice." as she plucks you from Jessica's hand and looks you over. Jessica don't get a great feeling from this brother sister dynamic and is glad Halley wasn't there. She would have called the whole thing off but Jessica knew she had to get rid of this guy and this was the best alternative. Her back-up plan was to turn him in to their R.A. in the dorm.
Lena looks at you and says "I'm going to help you out because you are family but my life is my life and you get no input into what I do. Understand?" You answer "Yes" sheepishly. You know she is right but you don't want to admit it. "OK" Lena says and stuffs you in the side pocket of her leather jacket and zips the pocket shut for her walk back to the car. She says "Thanks for taking care of him" to Jessica before turning to walk back to her car.
When Lena gets to the car she takes you out of her pocket and deposits you in the cup holder of her car. "I swear you are the stupidest shit getting yourself shrunk? How is that even possible to be accidentally shrunk down to... How big are you anyway? You can't be more than four inches. "
Lena starts the car and you try to change the subject and say "How is Cindy doing?" Lena replies "We broke up two years ago." You try to continue the conversation and say "You dating anyone new?" Lena replies "I'm living with Sam now for over a year. I think they're the one."
She's tired of taking to you and turns the radio up drowning you out and you think about what she said. "Sam? Is she living with a guy now. That will be uncomfortable living with some dude in your sister's apartment. You are starting to question your choice already.
The trip passes by as you listen to the radio although the station is not exactly your choice of music but it's probably better than talk to your sister anymore. Maybe Sam will be more understanding of your situation and help you.
A little more than an hour goes by and you arrive at her apartment and she carries you inside. She hangs her keys up on a hook by the door and goes in. The apartment is not big with one large room and a kitchen separated by a half wall. The bedroom and bathroom are in a hallway with closets. Not very big, very huge from your perspective. "Lena yells "Hey Sam come on out and meet my stupid brother, Joe."
To your surprise a petite brunette comes out of the bedroom wearing sweats. As soon as you see her smile as she walks in, you worry as it comes off to you are very mischievous. Then you quickly think that's ridiculous, you haven't even met her yet. She seems younger than your sister by a few years. Sam says "OK where is he?" and Lena hold you out for her to see. Sam says "Wait, your brother is a doll. That's weird." Lena replies "No, no, the dope used to be full sized but he got shrunk in some lab experiment."
Sam comes closer to get a better look at you and you say "Hi Sam" Sam smiles back at you and says "Hi Shorty". You say "It's Joe" but she just laughs and says "Shortie suits you better and you can call me Sammie. Only Lena calls me Sam." Lena jumps in and says "I need to change. Can you watch him?" and she hands you over to Sam who takes you and sits down on their couch.
She hold you up to her face with the same smile from before that you find unnerving and she says "You're a cutie. Must run in the family." You respond "I guess" not knowing where this is headed. "So how long are you staying?" she asks you and you reply "I'm not sure. Until we figure this out. It may be a while." Sam says "So it was a lab accident. That weird. What kind of lab was it?" She catches you off guard and you hesitate finally saying "It is a Physics lab." She continues to study you and says "Really? What kind of tests were they doing to you?" You hadn't thought through this lie that much not expecting these probing questions. You mumble "I don't remember."
Just then Lena comes back in and sits on the couch next to you and puts her arm around Sam saying "So what you guys talking about?" Sam answers "We for some reason your brother is lying about how he shrank. It was no accident." Lena looks down at you in Sam's hand and says "Really? Now why are you lying to the two people who are helping you?"
You decide to ...
