"Shit Mere! How do you get the good places to babysit?" Meredith took off her coat and hung it in the closet neatly.
"Keep your voice down Will the kids are in bed." She scolded him. "And besides, if we want them asleep while Hannibal's on we need to keep it quiet."
"Hannibal Mere?" She knew WIlliam hated thriller movies and horrors. She smiled weakly.
"The graphics suck now WIll just give in. It's a good old movie." William sighed. She smiled.
"Or we could just find some good chick flick to watch." She gave a tiny laugh. Will looked at her. Lord he had missed her.
"Whatever Mere." He said. She smiled.
"So when are their parents going to be home?" He asked her as she lead him into the huge entertainment room complete with Tv and and every gaming system imaginable.
"What games to they have?" He asked her and went to the entertainment centre.
Meredith smiled.
"WHat games don't they have." She loved Asher and Catherine's house for that reason. They lived in the country, had a huge plot of land, and horses even. Meredith looked at her watch.
"Their parents should be home soon." She admitted as she watched William like a little boy turn on some Playstation 3 game. The graphics weren't as amazing as the Playstation 4 games but still, it was worth playing.
"What are we playing?" She asked and grabbed the other controller.
"The original Night of the Living Dead."
"You're a loser William." Meredith pressed start. "And I mean that literally, I play this game every time I come over."
"Yeah well prepare to die." He said.
"Been there, done that." Meredith said and pressed her character start button.

"Meredith?" Meredith clued out of TV watching. She looked at the hall to the front door.
"There you are." Heather walked in. Meredith smiled and shook William awake.
"Sorry I invited WIlliam over. That's okay right?" Heather nodded. Meredith stood up.
"They're upstairs and asleep." She saw Norm looking up the stairs. "Hopefully."
"DADDY!" Asher ran down the stairs as fast as his 4 year old legs could carry him. Meredith gave a weak smile as she slid on her shoes.
"They were upstairs and asleep." She said
"Thanks Meredith. Do you need a ride?" Heather asked.
"No, I'll catch one with Will. Oh yeah, William this is Heather and Norm. Heather, Norm this is Dana Scully's son."
"Oh yes, I remember her." Heather admitted. "The red haired woman right?"
"Yes." William replied.
"It was nice to meet you William Are you two..together?"
There was a delay. Meredith looked at William and he looked back.
"No." The said in sinc with one another. Heather smiled at her husband.
"I'll send you a check at the end of the month Meredith." She said. "Drive safetly."
"Always." Meredith said and waved. "Bye!"
"Bye!"
Meredith and William hopped into WIlliam's mom's car. He started it. They began to drive down the road.
"I had you beaten WIll."
"You did not. Besides, you don't play fair. You hide up in that balcony and wait till I walk by."
"That was the first time." She said.
"Oh yeah and that passage way wasn't fair at all."
"William?"
"What?"
"What makes a giant light and is co incidently following us down the road?"
William looked back at the road. A bright light was following them.
"There's two things I can think of." William said, and pushed down on the gas harder.
