Summary: Dude, chill out. It was like that when I got there.

(Kane's POV)
It was quite funny watching Ria argue with her brothers and sisters. I didn't say very much when I was around them, just like I didn't say much when I was around her mum and dad and Vince followed my lead of course, but it was still interesting to see the way they acted. I wondered if my mum and Billee and my dad had been like that when they were young, my mum had often told me that they had grown up in Silverwood together, with dad's brother and Billee's brother, both of whom are dead now. I think growing up was a traumatic time for all of them; my dad doesn't even have any education because he had to start looking after his mother when he was younger than Vince. They didn't like talking about those days; they didn't like talking about the past at all much. I don't blame them really. Life sucks at times.
We spilt up into teams, me, Vince and Ria on one side and her brothers and sister on the other and began a board game tournament. Normally I'm good at them, but that night I just could not concentrate. I just hoped that my mum was okay and that my dad would look after her…I did try and phone her in the early evening but our home phone wasn't plugged in and I knew that meant that mum and dad had had an early night and wouldn't be reachable until morning unless it was very, very urgent. I didn't want to distrube or worry them, so I told myself that it could wait…
