Jeremy: He'd wake up and see Dem sleeping, so he'd go downstairs to get breakfast. Then, he'd return with breakfast and wake her up.

Dem: She'd wake up and look up at him. "Is it really morning already?"

Jeremy: "I've got breakfast, so it must be." He'd smile and hands her a plate. "Now sit up and eat like a big girl." He'd tease as he turned the tv on and pulled the curtains so the sun would shine through the room.

Dem: She'd sit up and stretch, taking the plate. "Thanks for breakfast."

Jeremy: He'd sit next to her and watch TV.

~An animated series from 50 years ago would play as a throwback.~

Dem: She'd eat and look over at him. "I just realized we never told Shep the information..."

Jeremy: "He probably knows already. He's in counter intel; news probably spread around the 'workspace,' then the police, etc."

Dem: "Yeah, you're right. I'll send him the info, just in case." She'd send Shep the info that we had learned and lean back. "Honestly, I never knew you'd be that scared of dead bodies."

Jeremy: "Well...I haven't seen one up close to my face since I landed in jail. That, and it gives me the creeps."

Dem: "You're the one who pulled the cover off the body! What the hell did you think was going to be there?"

Jeremy: "Hah..yeah..my curiosity overtook me, I guess." He'd head to the bathroom and change, comb his hair, and step out. "So..any plans for the day?"

Dem: "None."

Jeremy: "Awesome. Then, you stay in bed and get nothing done while I go outside and keep this body in shape." He'd put his shoes on, grab his gun from the tv stand, and unlock the door.

Dem: "Where exactly are you going?"

Jeremy: "Walk around the block, see what's up. I won't be gone for long. You can tag along if you'd like."

Dem: "Oh, what the hell, I'll tag along." She'd put a knife in her pocket. "Gotta be careful, though. If people find out what we know, we'll be next on the chopping board."

Jeremy: "Mhm." He'd head downstairs with Dem.

Dem: "So are you looking for anything in particular?"

Jeremy: "Just a relaxing walk." He'd smile. "If anything is interesting, I'll check it out."

Dem: "Sounds nice." She'd grab his hand. "Then let's go!"

~They make it outside and spot a park across the road.~

Dem: "I guess you want to go over there."

Jeremy: "Uh huh." He'd walk down a path looking at the scenery.

Dem: She'd walk over to the park. "Enjoying the view?"

Jeremy: "Yep."

Dem: She'd go sit on the swing. "I'll be here if you need me."

Jeremy: "Uh huh!"

Dem: She'd swing back and forth, enjoying herself. "Hopefully, he'll come to join me soon."
