The Bed and Breakfast:
"Claudia?" Myka called out as she stepped into Lena's. She swung the door shut behind her as she listened for a response, but none came.
"Claude, are you here?" She tried again. Still nothing.
The Dining Room:
Papers lay across one end of the table. Hastily written notes covered hand-drawn diagrams. HG sat half turned away from her work, absent-mindedly playing with her locket. A dark shape stepped into the corner of her vision. She looked up to see Myka leaning against the doorframe.
"Hey, you" Myka said with a sly smile. HG couldn't help smiling back. Myka gestured towards the empty front rooms. "Have you seen Claudia?"
"She's out tech shopping." HG glanced down at her papers as she answered, as if checking which pages were in view. "Is everything all right?"
"Something's wrong with my Farnsworth." Myka's explanation stopped there. She'd seen the glance, and now the drawings had her full attention. She walked further into the room. "What are you working on?"
HG quickly collected the papers as Myka approached. "Just a silly idea."
"None of your ideas are silly." Myka countered. As she reached out for the top page HG stood, pulling the stack out of reach.
"It's nothing really. Artie will be back soon, why don't I take a look at your Farnsworth." She held out a hand for the device.
Myka raised an eyebrow before obliging. She watched Helena walk swiftly out of the room, and took a hesitant step as if questioning whether to follow. Her phone rang, making the decision for her.
