"Do you guys wanna play war?" Wheezie asked from the other side of the table.

Sarah pulled her head up. "You brought cards?"

"Mm-hmm." Wheezie nodded.

Sarah looked at Val before both of them said a simple yeah. Wheezie smiled and made her way out of the room to get the cards. 

Silence filled the room as they sat with Rose. Sarah got up but suddenly she was wobbling over with her hands on her stomach.

"Oh, Sarah. Hey. Hey, what's wrong, sweetie?" Rose asked with a worried voice.

"I just think I'm gonna be seasick." She said while her hands found their way to the counter.

Not once in their life has Sarah threw up on a boat, and they used to drive around in boats all day. She was faking it. The realisation hit Valerie, she got up and walked over to Sarah. "Oh, not again!" She groaned, putting a hand on Sarah's back.

"I have just the thing." Rose said while walking to the door.

"Meds?" Sarah sighed, looking at Rose and referring to what happened back at their house.

"Sarah, seriously, that was for your own good, and you know it killed me to do that." Rose replied.

"I was just gonna ask for nondrowsy." She said with humour filling her mouth.

Rose scoffed. "We're all together. Just chill, Sarah. This is a good thing. And plus, you have Valerie with you." Rose said before vanishing into another room. She said something under her nose as she searched for the meds.

In the meantime time, Valerie put a hand on Sarah's shoulder, causing her to face Val. Valerie put a finger up slowly to her own mouth, signaling Sarah to stay quiet. Both of them glanced over at the door, then back at each other to make sure they were on the same page. Both of the girls made their way quietly to the door, escaping the room.

"This way." Valerie said quietly, before leading her through the right corridor, it led them to a large storage room. Valerie looked around, trying to figure out where to go since she hasn't been here before. She looked at Sarah who was looking at something in the middle of the room, her face full of sadness mixed with anger.

Valerie quickly turned to look at what she was looking at, when she saw the cross her heart sank. Valerie gulped, hoping Sarah wouldn't be mad at her for not saying anything. "Sarah, they wouldn't leave us. They have to be here somewhere, I know it. I can feel it." Valerie spoke gently.
