"Tom, wait up," Connor screamed running down the hall. "You know I'm
supposed to walk you home."
"Yeah, yeah. I make one mistake, you squeal, and I'm under vampire arrest. I know" Tomorrow mumbled.
"I didn't squeal. It is not squealing when your father asks me a question while holding me by the scruff of my neck. I was helpless."
"I know I'm just upset."
"I thought you got off pretty easily considering your dad."
"No, the whole Riley thing. He shouldn't have gone down like that. I at least thought someone cool like me or dad would kill him, but a demon that didn't even put up a fight when you killed him. It was just really lame."
"How's Aunt Faith dealing?" Connor asked sympathetically.
"Better than Max actually. I think it helps to have years of death in your background. Aunt Faith knows the score and I think she expected her world to collapse sooner or later. She's just over compensating taking care of Jessica to keep her mind off it. Max on the other hand is a basket case; Amanda's stopped him from at least three suicide attempts this week. I completely understand, I'd be the same way with my dad."
"So is there any news on the resurrection spell front."
"According to the books there is nothing. I can't believe that with all the people and vampires we have resurrected, including both of my parents, we can't find anything to bring back Riley. It's almost like the powers don't want him to be brought back, like he was the price for the new babies or something. Come on I want to stop by and take care of Jessica while Aunt Faith patrols."
"I'll stay with you. You might need some help with Max."
"Thanks. It's weird, I never thought I'd miss Riley, but I actually do, even the hugging."
"Yeah, yeah. I make one mistake, you squeal, and I'm under vampire arrest. I know" Tomorrow mumbled.
