They sat there in silence for some time, the only sound being the distant tick of the clock and their breath. The sounds where not unwelcome, in fact they were almost calming in the otherwise tense atmosphere that surrounded them, it was nice enough that Dave didn't want to break it yet he needed to ask, and sitting in silence was offering no answers.

He looked up at rose taking in a breath before he spoke. 'Do you know?'

At the sound of his voice rose too looked up from where she had been staring at her intertwined hands as if they were something she had never seen, before she sighed.

'Do I known the entire reason that we are here? No. do I know the complete situations? Again I possess no such answers.'

She paused for a long moment eyes looking at him but unfocused before she continued

'I do have my suspicions; the same as you do, but I cannot be certain they are correct the same as you.'

This time it was Dave's turn to sigh. He knew that Rose didn't know everything, didn't always have the answers, but at times it seemed to him that she was holding back, keeping something to herself locked away that no one knew. It frustrated him to no end, no matter how hard he pushed he could no unlock what she withheld from them could not get her to show all the secrets she knew, and Dave knew she had secrets, he knew that she had secrets that where not hers to keep. He hated being left in the dark by rose because it scared him, secrets where frightening and these one even more so, and he hoped, hoped that rose knew what she was doing because by gog he could not loses her to them.

So he simply sighed once more.

'rose-'

She cut him off before he could continue.

'The most obvious reason would be that there has been an increase in demonic activity, though perhaps not because I could have told you that minus these dramatics.'

She unlaced her fingers sitting straight in her chair looking at Dave head on once more

'taking that into considerations another possible answer would be a higher ranked demon, if that is what you wish to call it, has been spotted and most likely killed by bro, therefore he is giving us a thumbs up so to speak.'

The silence between them came back tenfold once rose had said her piece. What she had said was valid, but Dave knew it wasn't the complete answer or even the correct one. After all bro could have just texted them all this information which they would then leave to discuss some other time, and they would all continue going their own way.

Dave looked at rose, looked at her stiff posture and her adverted gaze, rose was always an excellent liar, could lie to Dave and he wouldn't even know it regardless of the years he has known her. So that's why Dave knew that, even if he couldn't tell when she was lying there was something troubling her, something that was related to why they were here, and something that she would not share with the rest of them.

However knowing this still didn't stop his curiosity and the worry that nagged at him behind his poker face.

'What is it rose'

'What it what Dave'

He huffed 'you know something'

At this she raised an eyebrow a slight smirk forming on her lips 'do I now, brother?'

'Has a cat caught you tongue sister?' Dave huffed looking at rose through his shades with annoyance. 'Of course you fucking know something!'

'And if I did?'

'I would expect you to spit that cat out and use that voice of yours that you love. Fuck I would even take a riddle at this point' he fumed leaning forward on the table.

Perhaps it was not the best thing to say because, gog, Dave was shit at riddles or at least the ones that came spewing out of roses mouth, but looking at her now she seemed conflicted her shoulders tensed as her mouth hung open just a little.

'Dave i-'

Dave never got to hear what rose was going to say, never know if she was that close to letting slip her secret never knew if rose was going to tell him the truth because it was all ruined by obnoxious giggling that followed the click of the door lock.

Simultaneously both his and roses heads snapped towards the door staring, or in Dave's case glaring, at the silhouette standing in the door way. They both spend a moment all eyes locked on the figure as the figure looked back before rose gained her composer closing herself down once again and locking the key to her safe of secrets, only this time swallowing the imaginary key before nodding at the figure

'Roxy'
