ALICIA'S

The group's next mission was to get the drone. Unfortunately for them, Trinity couldn't come because a week back she promised she would go to a party with her.

So with that Trinity was at the Cameron's for the first time in a few days.

"It feels like I haven't heard from you in a really long time," Sarah points out as she was looking through her closet.

"Yeah, I've been staying at my Dad's."

"Did you tell Rafe?"

Trinity stops doing her hair and turns to look at Sarah, "No, I haven't. I haven't spoken to him in a few days actually."

"That explains it."

"Explains what?" Trinity asks.

Sarah sits back down on her bed, "Well it's just that Rafe has been acting up and not been home in a few days, I did think it had something to do with you but I wasn't sure,"

"It's my fault Rafe has behavioural problems?" She asks, offended.

"Oh - no no I didn't mean like that, but his mood often depends on how your relationship is doing, you know?"

Trinity doesn't say anything and just looks back in the mirror.

"I didn't mean to make you feel bad or anything," Sarah kneels to her level trying to be as sympathetic as possible.

"I know," Trinity smiles and the two continue to get ready.

A few minutes go by and both girls have their outfits on with their bikinis underneath since the host of the party had a huge pool.

The sound of a loud motorbike engine revving approached Sarah's house and finally stopped, followed by a loud slam downstairs.

"What was that?" Trinity asks.

Before Sarah could answer Ward shouts from the backyard, so loud you could hear it from Sarah's bedroom.

"Rafe Cameron!" There was a silence, "Get your ass out here this instant!"

"So Rafe got a bike," Sarah laughs to fill the silence.

"Why is Ward so angry?"

Sarah shrugs, "Rafe probably did something stupid again," She heads over to the door, taking Trinity by the hand and leading them downstairs.

It was Sarah's idea to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.

"I just don't feel like you care—"

"I said I do!"

"Yeah, you said—"

"What more do you want me to say?"

Ward began to lose his temper, "I don't want you to say anything! All I want you to do is take care of business."

"Okay,"

"Where are the backup generators!? I gave you money for the generators, you said you would take care of it - did you take care of it? Where are they?"

"They're on backorder."

"Yeah, of course, they are." Ward stops yelling,

"There was a hurricane."

"I tell you what, you know that Pogue I just fired? Way more reliable than you."

"Really?"
