Gorge followed Simon to
the hall closet. Simon opened the closet and pulled down a sleeping bag from
the top shef and tossed it to Gorge.
Simon: There's a extra pillow in Ruthie's room. I'll go get it.
Gorge followed Simon to Ruthie's room and opened the door.
Simon: Ruthie, I need the extra pillow on the chair over there.
When Simon saw that she wasn't going to open the door he walked in and got the
pilllow closing the door behind him.
While Gorge and Simon were walking back to Simon's room they saw robbie in the
hallway.
Simon: O. Gorge this is Robbie. He is Mary's Boyfriend.
Gorge: O So you're the guy that took her to that motel...
Simon: We should probably get back to my room now.

Lucy walked downstairs to see mary fixing up the couch so that she could sleep
on it.
Lucy: You know you can sleep in Ruthie and my room tonight if you want.
Mary: No thanks I will be fine where I am.
Lucy: I made some cookies. You know the recipe mom used to make. They didn't
turn out that great but they are okay. They are in the cookie jar if you want
some.
Mary: I am not hungry right now but thanks anyway.
Lucy walked back up stairs.

She wanted to stop by Simon's room. She was worried about him but she figured
that he and Gorge were sleeping.
Lucy walked into her room
and went to sleep. She woke up around 2:00am and thought she heard someone
walking around down stairs. She walked to Simon's room. If a robber or
something was downstairs she didn't want to be alone. She opened his bedroom
door and seeing him shift upward.
Simon: Lucy what's wrong.
Lucy: I think someones down stairs.

saw Mary sitting at the table staring into a cup of coffee sitting in front of
her.
Mary: There's more coffee
in the pot if either of you want some.
