"I think I see." Travis wound down his window to let Jill and Leon know everything was fine. "So the others, they have some other objective then?"

Rei froze when she heard a knock at the door, fearing it was Nancy. She didn't want to have Reiko here when she returned, but didn't dare wake her. Something told her she could relax, particularly when he heard a male voice at the door. "Hello?" Rei went to look, and breathed a sigh of relief to see that he was alone. "Mr Taylor," Rei said upon answering. Dave Taylor, a large, somewhat oafish faced man regarded the girl with a thin smile.

"You heard?" he wondered.

"Had anyone else come here?" Rei wondered if maybe he was looking for Reiko.

"What do you mean?" Dave shook his head, thinking Rei didn't know. "Never mind. Have you seen Jessie?" Before Rei could answer Dave broke into a run and went to the back of the house, peering through the windows of the shed for any sign of who he was looking for. "Can't see her inside." He went back to check on Rei. "If she shows up keep her here and get her to call." Dave ran down the street. "Sorry I can't stay, got a lot that need fixing." Rei just stood at the doorway, wondering how to deal with this as well as everything else.

"I here." Sofia came in, first aid kit in hand, and began setting about tending to Cammy. The first order of business was to clean the wound. "Uh, hmm." She got up and ran a towel under some warm water, knowing she was about to ruin them but it was for a just cause. "Lie still," she ordered Cammy, and lifted up the clothes she had on to wipe the blood away. She inspected the wound to see that it was what she thought, Cammy had reopened the wound. "Hold tight." Sofia took Cammy's hand and pressed it against the towel, while she looked through the first aid kit for a sedative that would numb the pain of restitching the ugly hole in her.
