"How does she know your name?" Mike asked.

"Mike." Lilith spoke as she listened to him before sighing. "Follow us for a second." She added.

Being a bit hesitant to follow either of them at first before doing so. Following the two of them.

Vanessa stopped for a second before glancing around the security room. "Like what you've done to the place." She spoke. "Why Nebraska?" She asked turning to face the two of them. "Oh, need a hand?"

"I've got it." Lilith spoke and was a bit hostile towards her. Having Mike sit as she cleaned his wound. Watching his hand clench while she did so. Patching it up when she was done cleaning and disinfecting the wound.

"Who is she Lil?" Mike asked her softly.

Lilith listened as she glanced as his hand before glancing at him. "Mike, this is my sister, Vanessa." She informed.

Mike stayed silent for a few seconds before glancing between of them. "Sister? As in... You two are blood related?"

"Yeah. I'm older than her." Vanessa spoke. "By a year and a half. I'm also a cerified EMT. I could've helped patched you up in no time."

"I'm fine with Lilith doing it. It's sweet." Mike mumbled a bit. Placing his uninjured arm around Lilith before turning to face his girlfriend. "I also think it's my turn to heal you." He spoke.

"I'm fine Mike. It really isn't a big deal." Lilith spoke.

Mike didn't listen to her before helping clean her cheek gently. "So, Vanessa, you sure know your way around this place."

"Well, Freddy's is on my beat. I like to stay well-informed. Also, I really loved this place as a kid. We.. we did." Vanessa spoke.

Mike glanced at her. "I thought you didn't know this place."

"Well, everything you like eventually ends. My liking towards this place dimmed before I met you." Lilith spoke. "Bad memories for me now. I didn't think I'd ever be back here and just want to treat it like I never knew it existed."

Vanessa smiled a bit as she held her hand out to him. "Vanessa Shelly. Nice to formally meet you." She spoke.

His eyes glanced at her hand before reaching his own out and shaking hers. "Mike." He introduced himself. Not bothering with saying anything else about himself. "I thought your last name was Mintz." He pointed out to Lilith.

"I like Mintz better. My father wasn't always the best. I guess you can say that me and Vanessa chose new names to avoid those parts of our blood related parents." Lilith spoke as she picked at her sleeve. "I was going to tell you but with everything going on-."

"My family issuses shouldn't be something that stop you from coming to me. I thought we didn't keep secrets and communicated with one another."

"Mike, please."

"No. You come to me if you need to talk. It's not right that you are the only one there for me and my family issues. I want to be there for you too and make sure that you know I am here for you."

"Wow.." Vanessa spoke up lightly. "You have him very in love with you and wrapped around your finger."

Lilith listened before glancing at Mike. Giving him a quick small peck. "I'll be right back." She spoke. Moving away from him before grabbing Vanessa by the hand and leading the way to a more private place.

Mike wanted to trust his girlfriend but there was something off. He knew something was off for sure. The two seemed to be hiding something important from him and he wanted to know what it was.
