"Logan? What the hell are YOU doing here? Are you the new tenant?!"
"Uhh… Yeah…"
"WHAT?! Why?! Was the mansion too big for you?"
"Ummm…"
"Logan?! Stop lazing around and get back in here!"
"Sorry! Gotta go"
" What- WAIT!"
But Logan had left. Louise headed back to the restaurant, head filled with possibilities on why Logan, who was probably a gazillionaire, was moving into a tiny shop house…
"Hey Gene, Louise is back!"
"Hey Louise! (Whispers) Tina shut it!"
"Louise? Did you go somewhere?"
" Oh, I was just next door mom. There are new tenants next door."
"Really? Aww we should welcome them to our neighbourhood! I'll go cook something up!"
Linda left to go to their kitchen at home. It was funny how Linda always welcomed those new tenants, as most of them barely lasted a week, but she did it anyway. Louise silently watched as Linda raced up the stairs, as she did not want her to eavesdrop on the following conversation.
"Kid's meeting!"
Tina and Gene dropped everything they were doing immediately and gathered around Louise, and started bombarding her with questions.
"Louise, why didn't you run away just now? Weren't you scared?"
"Was he the guy who took your ears that one time?"
"What happened?"
"How did you survive?"
"OK, CALM DOWN! Tina, I wasn't scared, Gene, yes he was. And what happened was that he's the new tenant which is crazy cause he's like a GAZILLIONAIRE!"
"By the way, we're sorry for not helping you. I figured you'd wanna fight your own battles."
"It's ok Gene. But why I called this meeting is cuz we need to find out why Logan moved from a huge mansion to a teeny tiny shophouse…"
Frustrated, Louise started to walk around in circles.
"We could ask him."
"Oh yeah Tina! Why didn't I think of that totally simple solution? OF COURSE I ASKED HIM! DO YOU THINK THIS IS MY FIRST TIME POKING IN OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS? NO TINA! NOOOO!"
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…"
"Oh… I'm sorry Tina."
"WAIT WAIT WAIT I got it! We can go follow mom to "welcome" them, and while she chats with his parents, I INTERROGATE HIM!"
"Well as long as I don't have to fight anyone, I'M IN!"
"Yeah, me too."
"Good. I'll go call mom."
Louise ran up to the kitchen, where Linda was putting finishing touches to a chicken pie.
"Mommy, can we follow you to say hello to our neighbours?"
"Of course baby! You kids are so sweet! Just give me five minutes!"
Logan's Flashback
(A week ago)
"Tom, I think we should spend some time apart-"
"What?!"
"I don't want to rely on you for everything, and I want to start a small business-"
"That's just an excuse!"
"We've been drifting apart anyways-"
"Cynthia don't do this…"
"It's my dream…"
"Logan! Come downstairs! Our neighbors are here to welcome us!"
"Coming!"
Logan ran down the stairs to discover the smirking face of Louise, who was with her mother and siblings.
Louise had to hold in her excitement as she headed to Logan's new "home". She was gonna interrogate the crap outta that guy!
*Knock knock knock* "Hello?"
Cynthia walked towards the door.
"Cynthia?"
"Linda?!"
"Cynthia you're the new tenant? That's so great! I made chicken pie!"
"Oh thank you Linda, wanna come in for a chat? I'm sure Logan would be fine playing with your children. RIGHT LOGAN?"
"What? Oh yeah…."
"Aww thank you Cynthia!"
"Logan, take the kids up to your room."
"Yeah Logan, let's go to your room…"
Logan was trying to stay calm, but this girl terrified him right now…
