"Get up," Elena said, shaking Juliana awake.
"Go away, Elena," Juliana grumbled.
"No, we're needed at the police station," Elena said.
"Why?" Juliana asked.
"They want to talk about Vicki's disappearance," Elena told her.
Juliana was now alert. "What's the cover story?"
Elena sat on Juliana's bed to tell her.
After getting out of the police station after giving her statement about Vicki, Juliana went to her aunt and said, "I want to get a dog."
Jenna repeated, "A dog?"
"She wants to get a pug and name it Benji," Jeremy said.
Jenna asked, "Like the movie or the guy from Good Charlotte?"
"The band," Jeremy said.
Jenna hesitated, "I don't know. A dog is a lot of responsibility..."
"So is this guy," Juliana joked.
"I think my therapist said that getting a pet will help me with my depression," Jeremy said. "Like they help with stress, anxiety, depression, ease loneliness, encourage exercise, and help improve health. At least, that's what she told me."
Jenna seemed to be caving, at least when it came to Jeremy's mental health, which was gradually improving since he started seeing a therapist.
"Please?" Juliana begged.
"Fine," Jenna said, "But you two are taking care of it."
"Fine by me," Juliana replied.
Elena was sitting on the couch when they returned home from the pet store, with a cute pug that Juliana named Benji. Jeremy was holding the pet carrier while Juliana carried the bags that held the pet supplies.
Elena looked over, "What do you got there?"
"A dog," Juliana said with glee.
"What breed?" Elena asked.
