Ruth's POV

xxxxxxxxx

We're half dead when we get to the Mansion, breathing heavily and in desperate need of a drink. Just as I grab the door handle, the door swings open, and Ash stands in the doorway, leaning against the frame. He has his resting pokerface, like always. He looks us up and down. "Where the hell have you two been?" Charlie and I look at each other, and laugh. "Up the road." She answers for us both. "Went for a run, thats all." Ash nods his head slowly. "Don't go out at night." He says sternly. "Ok, dad." Charlie replies. "Well, come in. We're having Chinese."

I wake up to a quiet sound (I'm a very light sleeper). My phone.
Who would text me at 3:00 am?
I blindly feel around till I find my phone. I turn it on, squinting as I turn the brightness down. Its a text. I bet you can guess who its from.

Sneaking around, I see.

Puzzled, I try to think of some conclusion as to what he means. Then it hits me.
The mansion.
How could he possibly know that?

Me: I'n not sure what you mean

BEN: bullshit

Me: a clue maybe?

BEN: you already fucking know

Me: calm your farm

BEN: What could I possibly mean? When's the last time you saw something you shouldn't have? Think about that for second.

Me: ...the mansion?

BEN: now you have it.

I stare at my phone in disbelief. I don't understand how he knew that. How could he possibly know that? What does he mean by 'something you shouldn't have'

Me: what do you mean by "saw something I shouldn't have'?

He's not responding. I wait ten minutes, but he's still not responding. What the fuck does he mean? How the fuck did he know that..? BEN is confined to the game... isn't he?
