"Jacklyn, where are you going? Talk to me.
Jacklyn!!!"
"Not now, Darius."
*Knock, Knock*
"Hi, Jacklyn. How was the….."
"Thank you."
"Uhh...yeah. Come in. By all means."
"Can we get you anything?"
"Do you know which room was Ruby's?"
"Most all her stuff is gone, but I can show you where it was. Why?"
"Thanks."
"I...…..ok then.
Just tell us if you find anything."
"WILL DO."
".....I don't know."
"She.....ehhh."
"Come on. Show me something.
'Disperse!!!!!!!!!'
*Whooooooossshhh*
People always hide stuff under the floorboards, and in the…..
Huh? That's a weird looking alarm clock, but why isn't it working? Seems fine to me."
"YOU GOOD UP THERE?"
"I'M GOOD.
...COMING DOWN."
"Find what you need?"
"Just this."
"Hey, that reminds me of the alarm clock that Ruby wouldn't shut up about. She said it kept jogging her memory everytime she was stuck."
"It rang like a true soldier though. Always on time, never late."
"Why have you never pulled it out?"
"What do you mean? You said it rang."
"For Ruby."
"Huh?"
"Every morning at three, she would be in my room crying, trying to run away from the scary nightmares. I didn't care that she wasn't mine. I let her sleep with me."
"And you?"
"Helping get our name out there. We don't sleep together EVERY…..night, and that's not a sin. We have arguments too."
"So only Ruby heard this?
Explains why she never asked you to help her locate it. Probably thought it was a ring in her dream just like other opening scenes.
Can I....."
"Of course."
"Thank you.
Have a nice day, and next time I'll ask if I can come in. Just was in such a rush to find something....anything.....anything at all."
"Why?"
"I don't know.
….But I intend to find out."
"...There you are, Jacklyn. Say hi to everyone you want to say hi to?"
"Uhhh…
Pocket shrink.
*Vurrooaamm*
*Ting*
Not everyone, but close."
"Then come on. I have been showing off all the cool stuff I got when I was with you; but there's one thing missing that will help people believe me more."
"What's that?"
"You!!!!!!!
So get off your butt and let's strut."
"Okay, okay. I'm coming. I'm coming."
"Also, these Foreigners are starting to mess with things, and Scarlet's freeze vs your freeze is a whole lot...…how do I say this?"
"Cold?"
"Exactly.
They are like children at a candystore.
We need you before they break something valuable.
*TISHHHHHHH*
"....I think they already did."
