Middle City, Paul's house…
Elena was anxiously pacing about in the courtyard while Riya, equally anxious, was sitting in a chair beside Hannah, who was trying to calm her down.
"It's night already. Why hasn't Big Brother returned yet?" Riya looked toward the door, chewing her soft, pink lips in worry.
She and Elena had come out of their rooms in the afternoon when Vivian told them Eric had left in a hurry a few hours earlier and had said he would be back soon.
They waited and waited, but he didn't return, which worried them, but when he didn't return even when night had fallen, they started panicking.
Vivian and Hannah had been trying to calm them down, but to no success.
