Chapter 11:
“What were you saying last night about an Emily character?” Rico says, pouring milk on his cereal. Pete still in his room asleep on the floor even though it is 10:30 in the morning.
“Pete had a sister. Her name was Emily.” I say, remembering last night’s conversation.
“Had a sister?” He asks suspiciously.
“Yeah. Something about her getting trapped in a house. I think the Grimm’s got her.” I tell him. “What time do you think Pete will get up?” I add, feeling worried about him.
“Depends how drunk he was last night. Last night was pretty crazy, maybe after lunch.” Rico says like it’s no big deal.
“So what did you mean last night when you said ‘usual Friday night’?” I asked.
“On usually every Friday, him and a few of his buddies go down to the bar all night and get drunk. I don’t know what happened there because he came home pretty early. Usually he’s there till like, 3 in the morning.” Rico says. We just eat there in silence until we are done. After we finish, we head to the couch and watch the news. The news down here is different than the news I’m used to. Usually news has weather and stuff but his news is a lady talking about the damage that happened last night and who was all killed. As we were listening to the news Ginger sneaked into the room. I just look at Rico and he puts his hands up as if in defence or surrender and says;
“She didn’t want to go to the orphanage!” Rico said defensively. Ginger just smiled, lighting her eyes up. She skipped over to me and sat on my lap, leaning against my chest. I just grin and say;
“Should we find you somewhere else to stay?” She just nods and leans back.
