Miracle from Heaven

In the hospital.

Fortunately, Vetri survived the fall. She stayed in the intensive care unit until the next morning, and then she was transferred to a regular ward. There she was given a tetanus shot, since she not only injured her head, but also her hand with a rusty nail. The head wound wasn’t that bad. The earth and stones only scratched the skin and damaged the vessels near the skull, without reaching it. Everything was fine with Lilia, only a couple of abrasions and one laceration on her knees. That’s why she spent the night at the headquarters and not in the hospital.

The next day…

The next day, Lucy, Gabby and Lilia went to the hospital. They not only had one goal — to visit the victim. And Lucy asked the doctors to write down how Vetri was feeling and whether she could go to headquarters, Gabby — how worried she was about her sister, and Lilia had one question for her: “How did she make it so that she got hurt, and Lily is not there? Did you take the blow?” There were many questions and misunderstandings in this little head… - Listen, guys, I’ll go to the doctor who serves Vetri and ask him to enter into our system the data on her injuries and how long she will be here. — While you go to the patient… - Okay, — Gabby said. - What for? — asked Lilia. - So that she doesn’t get flagged for skipping practice and gets punished for skipping practice, — Gabby said. — Because of one absence? — asked Lilia. The mechanic nodded, and then Lily continued. — What are they like? - Different… But they are not particularly cruel. For example: clean the territory of the headquarters, school from debris, leaves or snow; some phrase on the board several times; spend a day or two on duty near the director’s office, and so on, and so on. And the most cruel thing for disobedient children, like AJ, is to work for a week or a month in production. - My God, everything is so serious at your school… - But not only here, but also in other schools… — Gabby answered. - Clear… So they reached the boarding house where Vetri was… Then they opened the door of the chamber… The girl herself was lying on the bed and reading a book. When she heard, she looked up from her book and looked at those who had come. When she saw familiar faces, she smiled and put the book aside. Then she said joyfully: - Come on in! - Hello! How do you feel? — Gabby asked. - Better, — she answered. - Can i ask you? — asked Lilia. - Let’s! - How come I didn’t get hurt, and how about you? - When you were falling, I rushed to you to save you, — Vetri began. — At the beginning, when I was falling, I made a cloud using magic so that you and I could successfully fall onto it. But I missed the size of the cloud and crashed to the ground, and you landed calmly… - “That’s why I felt something like a cloud,” — she thought. - Oh my God! — Gabby shouted. — It’s good that you’re alive! - Well, that makes me happy! Vetri replied. After these words were spoken, Lucy and the doctor who was attending to Vetri entered the room. He examined it, and then said: - Everything is fine! You can already discharge her from the hospital. - What? Did I hear right? — Gabby asked. - Yeah! — answered Lucy. “She recovers very quickly after such a fall.” And this is very good! After these words were spoken, Gabby and Lilia began to scream with joy…

The next day.

At the headquarters, work was in full swing… Vetri somehow persuaded Speedy to start working. At least minimally. But the work was interrupted when everyone at the headquarters heard some unfamiliar female voice that said in a very rude tone: - Where is my Lily?! Rescuers and their teachers came running to the sounds. Afterwards they saw a woman who looked exactly like Lilia, only slightly old, with tangled hair and exhausted from alcohol and cigarettes (since she smelled of exactly that) and anger was visible on her face… - Ma’am, calm down. Your daughter is here! — Speedy answered and then pointed to Lily, who was hiding behind a pillar. In her face one could read anger and horror. It’s clear that she recognized this woman. Speedy walked up to her and asked her. — Well, why are you going to mom? — he said and winked, as if saying: “Play along.” - Of course, — answered Lily. — I just need to pack my things, otherwise I’m ready. - Just hurry up, — Lilia’s mother said gloomily. - That’s good, — said Speedy. — What about you guys? Work! - Okay, — said the rescuers. Everyone left except the woman. Meanwhile, Speedy locked Rudy’s door (where not only Rudy slept, but also temporarily Lilia). - Lily, is this your mother? — Speedy asked. - Yes, I recognized it by the smell and the sight… — answered the frightened Lilia… - Yeah, she really doesn’t smell very good… — Speedy muttered, and then coughed. - Don’t give it to me! I’m scared to be with my mother! — Lily begged. He sat down next to her and hugged her, and then said: - We won’t hurt you, don’t worry… And you’ll never see this woman again. - Is it true? — asked a child’s voice. - Certainly. Just don’t bother me and put away the toys. - Well, they’re not on the floor here. Yes, and they are neatly folded…” she answered. — But I won’t interfere. - Okay, — Speedy answered, and then he called someone. After the call, he took various toys that came to hand and put them in a bag. Afterwards he gave this package to Lilia and added. — Let’s go! - Didn’t I drive quietly? — Lilia asked. - It’s okay… Just play along! — Speedy answered, then she nodded and they went to the ground floor. Afterwards Speedy said: - And here is your mother! - Mother! — she shouted and ran, of course not eagerly to her mother. - Thank you very much for finding my daughter, — she then turned to Lilia. — Let’s go to! — She took her hand sharply and painfully. Then she turned around and went with her. The girl looked very, very worried at Speedy, and he waved and winked. She realized that she was safe. And in truth, as soon as she and her mother left the headquarters, they were immediately surrounded by police (real, of course, not future ones) and a net was thrown over her mother so that she would not fly away (since she had wings on her back). The woman and the child were in shock. She was immediately arrested, and the girl was released, and when Lilia saw Speedy, she immediately ran up to him and he hugged her.

That’s it… Lilia became a future rescuer and was transferred to the first-year group at the elementary level. The mother was sent to prison. And peace and satisfaction triumphed in the world again… This is how this story ended…

End.
