Quentin walked around the house, finding it weirdly cold, empty and. . . Just this feeling he couldn't pin point it exactly, but just a bad feeling.
But this was his dad's friend.
As scary and. . . Intimidating as he looked, he seemed fine; Mean he was caring for his son, he had his eldest moved out of state for better care and-
Creak. . .
He froze.
"Who are you."
"Uhm. . . Quentin? Quentin Gershowtiz."
The girl stepped out into the hall; A red T-Shirt with a white collar, navy blue skirt, black tights and shoes; Hair tied in two briads.
"Lisa. Peterson. . . Why are you here?"
"My dad is visiting your dad, friends and I was forced to come with my mom and brother."
. . .
She eyed him suspiciously, looking down the hall and up the hall,"You're the same Quentin that's been snooping around Otto's right, trying to figure out if he has a secret.", Lisa nods slowly,"Come in here.", he found that highly suspicious but nods, following Lisa into her room.

As soon as he entered, she dragged a chair to the door and wedged it under the handle,"Isn't that a bit extreme-?","I need your help.", Lisa sighed,"I don't know if I can trust you, but I'm currently out of options and I need help.", Quentin was taken it back, nodding slowly and leaned against her wardrobe,"Okay. . .? What do you need help with?", Lisa was looking around like someone was listening in, like someone bugged her room,"It's my Dad; He's lying to everyone.", Quentin frowned,"What do you mean?", "Franklin isn't with my aunt out of state in hospital; He's dead. I heard the doctor announce it.", Quentin's stomach dropped, Lisa continued, waving her hands a bit,"A bit after Halloween, I came downstairs and I heard. . . Franklin scream, from the basement door. . . And another night, I saw him down there, his chest was rising and falling somehow and, and. . . He's somewhere down there.", Quentin stared at him, his stomach dropping more and his heart, Lisa looked at him with tears, her eyes feeling misty as she looked at him desperately,"And. . . He's lying to Theodore, he's doing something to him to keep him in the dark. . .", Quentin stared at her, realising she may not be lying for how desperate and scared she looked.
"I can prove it. . . I just need-"
Knock
Knock
They jump.
"Lisa? Guests are downstairs, thought might wanna meet Beatrix: Please."
Robert then walked away.

Beatrix hugged Lisa, Lisa could handle her as she was just a toddler that wanted a friend.
Quentin couldn't help but feel nervous, more scared as he kept glancing at Theodore and Ike, now both sitting together on the sofa and watching Scooby Doo.
"Who do you think the created the virus is. . ."
"Uuuuh. . . Has to be. . . One of the sssscientists..."
Theodore managed to say that, Ike nods,"Good point. . .", Robert came in, with a glass of juice for Ike and water for Theodore, rested his hand on Theodore's head and messed with his hair a bit,"How are we feeling?", "Mm. . . Tired.", Robert nods, leaving them to the movie.
. . .
"I can't play baseball. . ."
"Me neither. . ."
Quentin gulped, looking at Robert who simply sat with his dad and mom, talking with his wife and all seemed. . . Fake.
Looking at Lisa, as Beatrix showed off her doll she sent a look.

"Well, I'd say that was fun day."
Robert smiled at Ike,"I wouldn't mind if Ike came over more often, would be nice for Theodore to make a friend and have company.", Ike smiled,"Really? Can I Dad?", Cornelius smiled,"Of course, would be nice to get out more often and make a friend.", Cornelius ruffled his hair, he nods at Robert,"Next week alright?", Robert nods,"Perfect; Have a good day, and it was nice to finally meet you kids.", Ike shook his hand, Quentin offered a nod as they left, Ike turned back and waved,"By Mr Peterson!", Robert smiled as he closed the door.
"See, all fun."

Once home, Quentin opened the small paper Lisa passed him.
