"They say we are asleep until we fall in love
We are children of dust and ashes
But when we fall in love we wake up
And we are a god and angels weep
But if I die here tonight
I die in my sleep"

Rhea sat on the roof of the building. Matt didn't exactly tell her that he was here but she accepted the fact that he was pushing her out again. She released a long and tired sigh while she stretched up. Rhea knew that Matt knew she was here. He didn't tell her he was here but she could guess where he'd go. After all, it would be easy to get information on the Yakuza from another big gang in town.
She heard her phone buzz and she pulled it out. Rhea skimmed through her texts and looked at all the photos. She then started to read over what Karen had said. Most of it was about Zoe and the operation. She hadn't woken up yet so Karen was freaking out and worrying that something went wrong. Despite the photo of her vitals clearly showing that Zoe was perfectly fine. Or at least was appearing to be perfectly fine.
There was also a long text about what Zoe's recovery process will look like once she wakes up. Which she knew that Zoe would hate but prefer over what happened when her wisdom teeth were removed. Rhea actually thought Zoe would die after what had happened.
She breathed in one more time before scrolling through all the other messages. Rhea thought it was funny that Foggy would occasionally send her goofy selfies whenever they weren't having a conversation. One thing that worried Rhea was the lack of messages from Benicia.
Rhea thought that Benicia would have messaged her about Foggy or Zoe, but there hadn't been any messages. Though, there was a possibility that Benicia was messaging Karen. Which was actually more likely now that Rhea was thinking about it. After all, Benicia and Karen were best friends. She stood up and walked over to the edge of the table. She leaned against the wall of the roof and peered out into the city.
She didn't really think about it often. But Rhea wondered what it would be like if they hadn't come here. Rhea actually wondered more of why no one had figured anything out about them yet. Or why they were here. Rhea just wanted to know why they were taken from what she believed to be her dimension and brought to this one. She just wanted to know why. But it seemed like no one could really answer it.

Benicia crawled underneath the stainless steel table in the kitchen. She curled herself up in a ball and hugged her legs as tightly as she could. She jumped when she heard a gunshot. She furrowed her brows and covered her head with her hands.
She kept watching the window where the dishes were handed out. Benicia could see their heads on the other side, just barely. The glass breaking alerted her to how close they were getting to the door. She knew it wasn't Frank's groans of pain that could be heard and she just shut her eyes.
Then there weren't crashing noises anymore. There was just a bunch of panting from the other room. Benicia wasn't even sure if she was hearing their breathing or her own.
"The Blacksmith." Frank's voice was faint but still loud enough for her to hear. He sounded out of breath, "Where is he?"
