FIVE | THE JUNKYARD

Olivia comes down the stairs and finds her parents at the dining room table.

"Well good afternoon sleepyhead." Her Dad says. She waves to them both.

"So what's on your agenda for the day?" Kim asks as she puts a sandwich in front of her. She shrugs.

"Whatever happens I guess." She takes a bite.

"So... where were you yesterday?"

"I was um... with Billy." Charles raises an eyebrow. "He put his hands on his sister Max and I went to confront him about it."

"Put his hands on her how?" Charles asks.

"He just grabbed her arm. It wasn't anything crazy."

"Maybe you shouldn't hang around him if he's like that."

Olivia looks at her Mom but she stays quiet.

"He's not a bad guy, it's just... his Dad abuses him."

"Hm." Olivia continues to eat her sandwich in silence, when she hears static coming from upstairs.

She leaves the table and she answers it.

"Liv here, reporting for duty."

"It's Lucas. Dustin says we have a code red. Meet us at the junkyard. Over and out." She throws on some clothes and goes back downstairs.

"Where are you going?"

"Lucas walkied. He wants me to meet him and kids somewhere."

"Don't think we forgot about what you said." Charles says.

"I know you won't." She kisses both their cheeks. "You're parents. You can't help it."

"Be careful." Kim advises.

"I will. Love you both."

Olivia grabs her keys.

She gets out of the car at the junkyard and sees Steve with Dustin.

"Steve?"

"Liv? What are you doing here?"

"Lucas called. He said we have a code red. What's the code red?"
