Anna takes her blanket off.
Anna sighs, ' I'm all alone..'
Anna drops a tear again.
She wipes it off.
Anna walks to the refrigerator.
Anna notices a note on the fridge.
Remember to finish the fried rice.
Anna opens the fridge.
***
Anna sits on the bed.
A loud voice is heard.
Anna, shocked, tilts her head further to peek at the door.
Wheels rolling.
Steady footsteps.
Cold gaze.
Messy bangs.
Untidy collar.
" Mr. Shane."
Shane puts his suitcase down.
" Don't worry about your father." pouted Shane getting a glare from Anna, " they must still have him alive, to bring you back."
" Really ? Thank you, Mr. Shane !" said Anna giving a wide smile.
" Don't thank me." said Shane walking away.
Anna stares at Shane, " Mr. Shane, you're a good guy."
Shane stops.
Shane walks towards Anna.
" We need to think of a plan to bring your father back."
" Ah !"
Shane raises his eyebrows.
" What if we pretend to be the men in black, then sneak dad out ?"
" That won't do."
Anna bites her lips.
Shane glances at Anna, " ..actually, your idea isn't bad too."
Anna smiles, " Is it ?"
" Aren't you going to sleep ?" said Shane sitting on the floor.
" N-No ! Mr. Shane, sleep on the bed !"
" It's fine."
" No no, it's fine, Mr. Shane."
" No, I-"
" You can't. I'll sleep on the floor."
Anna pulls Shane to the bed persistently.
