Chapter 2.

Driiiiiiing.

Audrey couldn't finish her phrase. She took her cellphone and looked at it. It was Duke.

"Its' Duke"

"What does he want, I thought he was going sleep."

"I thought so."

She answered.

"What's going on Duke, I thought you were sleeping!"

"Me? Sleeping? Certainly not after what happened"

Audrey did a strange look to Nathan and she get up as asking Duke.

"What happened you look angry or something."

Nathan get up too and tried to hear what Duke was saying.

"You want to know what happened? Come at the Grey Gull. Or more what remains."

Audrey hung up and told Nathan, as going to the Bronco.

"We have to go to Grey Gull. Now."

-

"Oh. My. God."

That's all Audrey could say.

"What the hell happened?!"

Nathan's eyes was so wide open as looking at the building it's like if he had paralysed like that.

Both went out of the car and came at Duke who was standing in front of the disaster.

"Duke, are you okay?" Audrey asked.

"Me? Yeah. My bar? Fucking not! It's destroyed! I was just about to go to sleep, i had a day let's say exhausting, then I closed my bar, I was on my way to finish my day and BAM MY BAR, MY JOB, MY LIFE DESTROYED. In one fucking instant I lost everything! And, if you say "Come on! At least you didn't lost your home!" Well, you did! Your home is on the top of my bar so if The Grey Gull is destroyed, your home too."

Audrey wanted to reply but his last sentence let her speechless.

"If the Grey Gull is destroyed, your home too."

She looked at the rubble and asked Duke what happened before the explosion. He answered:

"I just had closed my bar. I was about going in my car and I heard something so I searched from where it came from and I looked at the sky. There was some shooting stars. I looked at my watch and it said 00:10. Then I thought it must be the meteor storm. So I went into my car, I just left the parking and I heard a big explosion and I felt a shaking and I saw in my mirror hundred of pieces of a building. So I came back and I saw the disaster. And I called you."

Audrey tried to analyze the information. All that pased in her head was

"My home is destroyed."

She turned her gaze on Nathan and asked:

"Where am I gonna sleep?"

It took a moment to Nathan but he manged to say:

"Well, you could...come sleep at my home."

Audrey smiled and chuckled.

"Your home? It would be the first time but yeah, thanks."

But Duke was very angry let's say upset by what happened.

"Hello? And my bar? That's why I called you! Okay, fine, you found I place where pass the night. But my bar is still in fucking million pieces! Damn! What I've done to get all this shit!"

"Come on relax Duke. We gonna fix this. I don't know how but for now could you just, go sleep? I'm sure you're tired about all the shit you've been through. So go to the Cape Rouge, fall asleep, and tomorrow when we'll all be awake, we'll find a solution."

Audrey was kinda the best for calm down Duke. If Nathan would have talk, it would have been something completely different. And they would be fighting right now. But they're not and Duke was doing all what Audrey said. Mostly.

"Fine. Bye"

Nathan and Audrey looked at Duke as he was disappearing in the darkness of the night and they returned into the Bronco now going to Nathan's house.

"Here we go again." Nathan said.

-

"Wow. Sweet home! Never thought it could be something like that."

When Audrey entered somewhere new, as a reflex -like everyone- she looked at the place. It was small, but for one person it was okay and for two it was perfect. Just enought place. When you enter, you had the living room -the biggest room in this home- that was combined to the kitchen and the dining room -who didn't take so much place-. He had two couches and one was placed just in front of a fireplace. The colours were fade. White. But "whatever" she thought, her and Nathan at his home was one of her biggest dream ever. Fuck off the colour of the walls, she just wanted to be with Nathan.

"Yeah, I don't come often. Most of the time i'm at the police station. You know, endless work. Sometimes I fall asleep there and I woke up sit on my chair my head lying on the desk on all the paperwork"

"And how do you change your clothes?" Audrey asked curious.

"I have some clothes at the office. Or I come her to change me, then I run back to the office. Talking about clothes, you gonna sleep like that?"

Audrey looked at herself and sighed.

"Damn it! I had forgot that I had nothing left with my home destroyed and everything in it. I won't pass the night with those clothes, they're not comfortable."

Nathan did his little cute smile.

"What if I give you some clothes?"
