Sophia walked around the room back and forth looking worried. Pearl sat on her bed. She was on the phone.
"....thank you officer". She finally said.
Then she put down the phone and sighed. Sophia stopped prancing about and turned towards her sister.
"Well....."
"The cops will be here in less than an hour. We just have to wait".
"Less than an hour. Pearl ,two intruders just made their way into Dad's room and you expect us to wait for the cops to arrive before we do something about it. What if they..."
Pearl shut her ears. "They won't do anything. Dad's going to be Fyn Sophia"
"How do we know that. We don't know that" Sophia was talking so fast. She was so worried. Pearl was worried as well but she was too scared. If her sister was right about what she saw..how was she possibly supposed to stand up against two intruders. They might even be armed. She leaned forward biting her nails. After what seemed like forever, Sophia stands up. Pearl looked at her
"What are you doing"
"I'm going to Dad's room" Sophia starts leaving but Pearl grabs her arm.
"Are you crazy?"
"Yes"
"We just have to wait for the cops. What if the impostors are dangerous"
"They could be armed for all I care. Our Dad's probably in trouble. And here we are....waiting for some cops to arrive and do what exactly. Arrest the impostors when they've probably killed Dad"
"Don't you think Dad wants us to be safe. Do you think he'd let us risk our life just to save him"
"Are you coming or not"
Pearl seemed reluctant.
"He's our Dad if you've forgotten. It's bad enough we lost mum. Now we're going to loose Dad as well?"
Pearl stands up. "I'm coming with ....not because you're right about going to face dangerous impostors by this time of the night, but to tell you 'I told you so' when our head gets blown off our body"
