Ready or not Here I Come...Part 5

Christian hoped to himself that they weren’t moving again, or that one of the boys wasn’t sick. “Li, hello?â€? Christian dialed the number and waited for an answer, “Li, you there?â€?
“Would you stop screaming in my ear?â€?
“Sorry, where are you? I need to tell you something.â€?
“I got news too. I’m at home, come on over. This is a sit-downer.â€?
“Ok I’m on my way.â€? They hung up and that was the end of that. He pulled up to the house and got out of the car. Lilya was baking, and he could smell the smoke. “Lilya can’t bake,â€? Christian thought. Something really weird was happening. He went inside.
“Lilya?â€? She poked her head out of the kitchen.
“Hey, I think you should sit down.â€? She disappeared back into the kitchen. “Maybe you should tell me first.â€?
“Fine by me. I got promoted today!â€?
“Oh…my…god. Are you serious?â€?
“Yeah, I just walked in and BAM ! Detective Agent Tillman at your service.â€?
“Wow, but sit back down.â€? She poked her head in and out of the kitchen again.
