Lee heard a noise and got up. He was paranoid that someone was in his house. Slowly walking down stairs, he heard the noise even more. He grabbed a frying pan as it was the closest thing next to him before pointing it to them.

It was a dog. A puppy that was a beagle.

"Benny?!"

The dog saw him as it immediately ran and jumped on him.

"Erm.........okay...." Lee said as he put his hands up in surrender smiling.
"How did you get here?"

Picking it up he headed towards his room and called Mia. She headed over sleepily and Lee was also not far from just passing out into deep slumber. He began falling asleep when he felt someone lift his arm up as it was put over someone's shoulder. Shocked, he opened his eyes slowly and saw that Mia was slowly bringing him to his room.

Once she set him in his bed she was about to leave until Lee spoke softly.

"Can you stay?" He asked sleepily. "Please."

Mia nodded as she sent a text to her sister that Benny was with her at Lee's place. She curled up on the other side of the bed as they slept. Morning came as she woke up. Lee was out of bed as she sat up. Smelling something, she headed downstairs.

"Good morning! I was making us some eggs." Lee smiled.

Mia say down at his snack bar as they began to eat.

"Mia, if you don't mind, could you possibly stay here with me for a while? I'm still paranoid about the idea of someone watching me even when I'm alone."

"Yeah, but I'll talk to Emily about it soon. Speaking of her, I should head back and bring Benny back home."

Lee nodded as he got up to take a shower. Mia picked up Benny as she headed home. Emily was still sleeping as Mia placed their dog in the bed with her. She headed back as it took her almost an hour to head to her apartment and to head back to Lee's. She walked inside as she called out to him.

"Lee, I'm back." She shouted for him to hear.

There was no response. She called out for him again but still no response came to her. She searched around and he wasn't there.
