Isis stood up and helped her mother do the same. Her legs were shaking, so she had to lean on the sink. They both tried to calm down. Only their deep breath could be heard.
A few minutes later, Isis looked at her mother. The latter seemed still disturbed.

"I don't know, I don't know anything! I don't want them to come back!" said Lana.
Isis understood that she was talking about these two scary guys.
"Why were they looking for it anyway?" she asked. "Does it has any value or something?"

JJ kicked in a tree, swearing.
Okay, definitly anger.
"Dude, calm down," said Pope. "I know you're mad, but..."
