A couple days later, in an apartment in Manhattan, a mother, Callie, was giving her son, Trevor, a haircut.
"Mom, careful." Trevor comments. "Please don't get my hair on my breakfast."
"Almost done." Callie responds. "Aww...your mustache is starting to grow in."
"Mom." Trevor comments
Suddenly, the lights around the apartment began flickering, Callie looking around.
"Phoebe!!" Callie comments
She got up, accidentally cutting Trevor a little.
"Ouch." Trevor comments, checking the cut. "Aaandd i'm bleeding."
"Put on a bandage and some ointment on it and you'll be fine." Callie responds as she walked to check what her daughter, Phoebe, was doing. "What in the name of Providence are you doing?" she added with anger and crossing her arms
"The neighbor's electricity is getting low for some reason, so i'm using our electrical power to equally split it amongst us." Phoebe comments as she continued whatever it was she was doing
"And you didn't think to ask me first?" Callie responds
"I mean, you did demonstrate your lack of interest and your ineptitute of science." Phoebe says as she stood up. "You're better at other things. Like quesadillas. Your quesadillas are great."
"Thanks." Callie comments
Suddenly, some knocking was heard.
"Mom!" Trevor called out. "It's somebody that wants you."
"Tell them i'll be there in a second." Callie responds as she heads for the front door
Phoebe kneeled back down to look at what she had done so far. Meanwhile, Callie got to the front door and saw that it was the landlord of the apartment complex.
"I am LITERALLY about to go and get a check in a few minutes." Callie comments
"You win lottery or something?" The landlord asks
"Sorta. My father died." Callie comments. "I'm surprised he left us anything with the fact he moved out into the middle of nowhere on some random farm and abandon the family."
The landlord rose an eyebrow.
"Look, I know I haven't been a reliable and more consistent tenant, but if you can give me a week to settle some loose ends and possibly sell off some old things, I will be back with everything I owe you." Callie states
Suddenly, the lights all around the apartment but not the entire power of the apartment, just went out.
"I can fix that!!!" Phoebe called out
"Listen, I wait for you and your kids to pack your things and leave and then I change locks." The landlord comments
The landlord put an eviction notice up on the door, causing Callie to roll her eyes as she closed it behind her.
Later, they began going on a road trip, heading to some random town in the countryside of Oklahoma and there was some water tower that read 'SUMMERVILLE', Trevor trying to get a signal on his phone.
"Well, you two, here it is." Callie comments. "This is Summerville, where your grandfather lived."
"And died." Phoebe states
Trevor groaned a little.
"Come on, not a single bar??" Trevor questions
"There better be a bar." Callie comments
