Lisa peeked around the door to see who it was. It was... a kid? A sad kid? Backpack... Bike? Nicole's bike? She quickly assessed the situation and came to the conclusion that she had no idea what was going on.
Lisa came outside and closed the door behind her. "Hey, heyyyy, shh," she said, trying to calm Melanie down while holding her shoulders. She led her back out to the steps and sat down on them with her. "Hey, you're okay now, nobody's going to hurt you. What's wrong?"
Lisa thought she had seen this girl before... Melanie didn't come to the house much. Searching her memories, she must have seen her with Nicole somewhere else, they looked about the same age.
"Hey, so, uh, tell me what happened. Are you okay?" Lisa comforted the girl.
Melanie was beginning to get the feeling that Lisa wasn't about to get her in trouble, but asked, "... You're Nicole's sister right?"
Lisa nodded.
"Um..." she said, leaning into Lisa's ear, "Can you keep a secret?"
Lisa didn't like where this was going but was overly curious as to what kind of secret a kid could have that she needed to keep. "Um, okay?" she replied, with an eyebrow arched.
Melanie unzipped her backpack and pulled out the shrink ray. Lisa's eyes widened as she started to put the pieces together. Nicole's bike but no Nicole, someone Nicole's age with the shrink ray... Nicole must have gone to show it off to someone.
Lisa's tone went from comforting to a bit more firm, but in a whisper, "Okay, what happened? Where's Nicole?"
"You promise it's a secret? Pinky promise?" Melanie asked again.
Lisa liked this question even less now, but it had to be something to do with Nicole. She sighed heavily and nodded her head, "Okay, pinky promise." The two shook pinkies. "But let's go somewhere, uh, safer for now," Lisa suggested. She opened the door to the house, looked around, and led her inside.
