The blue station wagon pulled up outside the array of townhouses. The resident stepped out of the car and leant down, speaking to the driver before closing the door, which she held open.
"Thanks for the ride, Liv" spoke Caitlin before closing the door.
The window slowly descended, as Olivia spoke. "Anytime, my friend. Anytime. See you Saturday..."
When Caitlin arrived at the door, she turned and approached the car yet again.
"What's wrong?" Liv asked.
"There's signs of forced entry. A single crowbar stroke. Stay here until I check it out" Caitlin replied, unnerved.
"I'll come with you" replied Liv.
"You sure?" Asked Caitlin
"Yes" said Liv, triumphantly.
The two girls entered the villa to find that the place was ransacked. Absolutely trashed. Nothing could be found and it could, based on on-sight opinions, take months to clean.
Whilst Caitlin stood agape, with her hand over her mouth and her glasses drooped onto her nose, Liv explored the house to find that it was seemingly vacant.
"There's no one here..." She said.
"That's what scares me... Where's Garrett?!" Said Caitlin, worrying. "He was supposed to be here all night. His stuff is all her, his phone, everything!"
"It's okay. We can sort this out. I'm sure he's fine. We'll go and talk to the others." said Liv, hugging Caitlin, who moaned amongst her tears.
"Can we go back to your place?" Snuffled Caitlin.
"I don't think that's such a good idea" Liv replied.
"Why not?" Said Caitlin, dumbfounded at her best friend's sudden loss of acceptance.
"Well... You see... I... I have f-feelings ... for you" she replied reluctantly.
"What do you mean?" Asked Caitlin, confused.
"I'm a lesbian"

Soren entered the prison pod where Bridger and Kooi stared each other down in silence.
"We have entered orbit of Ceres, sir" Soren reported.
"I'll head back up to the bridge with Gill. You sat with him. What you do to and/or with him is of little interest to me." Bridger replied before exiting the pod.
"Yes sir" Soren replied, remaining in the pod and continuing the stare-off with Kooi.

When Caitlin walked into the hospital waiting room, the new popular hangout spot of the unlikely social group, Tana was fast asleep and the others were huddled in the corner, yelling over each other in dialects that she didn't understand. It was all standard English, but muffled as the group were all speaking over the other participants. She heard some things, but couldn't make out anything else.
"Where's Thorne then? You think he's not with Beck, you think he's seperate?" Zoey Darmanin argued.
"Maybe he is but he is not an ally!" Dane shot back.
"We know that but he is an enemy of our enemy..." Protested Zoey Darmanin.
"Are you saying that you want to ask him for help?! Are you insane?!" Dane replied
