Next Day...

Everyone is sound asleep when suddenly Ethan busts through the door in anger. Everyone jumps as they quickly wake up and look at him

Ethan: Who stole it?!

They all look at each other confused

Ethan: I'm not fucking stupid. I know it was one of you now cough it up

They all stay quiet

Ethan: All of you get up now!

They quickly get off their beds. Ethan goes over to Ash's bed and starts looking through it, knocking everything off. He finds nothing so he goes over to Axl's bed and finds nothing. He goes over to Kristine's bed and does the same. He finds a fork under the mattress and shows it to her. She quickly looks down

Ethan: What's this doing under the mattress?

She shrugs. Ash and Axl look at each other with a worried look

Ethan: You don't know? I think you do know. Haven't you learned after I took your tongue? Did I not say what I was going to do if I caught anyone stealing?

She begins shaking, still looking down

Ash: It's mine!

Ethan looks at her

Ash: I took it last night

He looks at Kristine then goes over to Ash. Axl gets a nervous look

Ethan: Why is it in Kristine's bed?

Ash: Because you wouldn't expect her to do that

Ethan: Wrong! I wouldn't expect YOU to do this. Kristine may be quiet but she's sneaky. Trust me I know

Ash looks down

Ash: It's mine...I'm sorry

Ethan let's out a huff then leaves the room. Ash let's out a breath

Axl: Ash; what the hell? You didn't take it

He looks at Kristine

Axl: Why did you do that? Are you trying to get yourself killed?!

Axl: Why did you do that? Are you trying to get yourself killed?!

She looks down. Ethan comes back in, goes over to Kristine, takes the cuffs off her ankle, and takes her out of the room without saying anything. Ash and Axl look at each other

Ash: He's going to kill her

Axl: She put this on herself

Ash: How could you say that?

Axl: He took her fucking tongue

Ash: I know I was there. Saw everything, heard everything

Axl: She knows the consequences and she stole a fork? A fork Ash? What the fuck can you do with a fucking fork?
