[x] Chicken out and stay here.
"Not now dammit... Can't you just LEAVE ME ALONE... Thank you for bringing me back together with Melanie, but piss off now. Seriously. Can't we just get away from all of this... Can't we just be happy... GET OUT OF MY HEAD! I know they could give me more information... Maybe they could even protect us... But I just want to get away from it! Ugh..."
Felix's mental war rages more strongly than it has in a long time. He's desperate to run away from the madness that is becoming his life; but unable to overrule the voices inside his head, Felix decides to stay at Patrick's. Melanie comes out of the bathroom. "I'm ready, Felix. Let's get outta here!" she says, her usual cheery self. "Melanie... I thought about it some more, and I think we should stay. I don't trust Tom and Pat, but it might be helpful to have them on our side. Plus, they can help us learn more about what's really going on," he explains to her. "Oh...okay. You're so indecisive sometimes, but I trust you. I'll stay by you no matter what," Melanie says with a smile.
Felix manages to find a box of cereal and the two of them have some breakfast together. After they are done, Melanie suggests they go take a shower together. Felix is so caught off guard that he can do nothing but stare blankly at her. "Hahaha! Just teasing...sheesh..." Melanie says, hiding what almost appeared to be a look of shattered hope. Instead, they take turns showering and go back to sitting on the couch together after they are done. They figure nothing could be better than cuddling together as they wait for the day's gears to set into motion.
It's 8 AM when Patrick finally comes upstairs. "Oh, good morning you two. Glad to see you up and ready," Patrick greets them. "Good morning," they both respond. From the kitchen, Patrick says to them, "I really am truly sorry for yesterday guys. I realize the craziness I put you through, and I hope you can forgive me. We didn't mean any harm." The young couple gives each other the yeah-frickin'-right look. "Today's going to be a busy day. We can't waste any more time," Patrick goes on. "And you're finally going to give us more answers?" Felix shoots back. "Yes. Haha. Yes, of course," Patrick smiles as he walks out holding a cup of coffee. Patrick kicks Clinton lightly to wake him up. "Rise and shine old buddy," he teases as he kicks him again. As Clinton gets up, Tom joins them from downstairs.
Tom is cleaning up in the bathroom, Patrick is drinking his coffee while watching the news and chatting with Clinton and Melanie and Felix remain inseparable on the couch. In the midst of their early morning activities, a sudden news bulletin catches their attention.
"Breaking news! Small town tragedy! Reports have just come in from Gledenberg of two dead bodies found inside a small restaurant called Speedy Sam's. The young victims have been identified as Joseph MacQuire and Tiffany Sanders. It appears each victim was shot twice to the head, dying instantly. No suspects at this time. The motive is completely unclear. Nothing was taken from the restaurant. We will keep you informed as more information comes in. Stay tuned."
Felix and Melanie stare at the television, frozen. Melanie breaks down and begins crying. Felix holds her tightly, unable to comprehend what he just heard. A look of absolute panic and terror appears on Patrick's face. Clinton is unable to move or even blink.
[] Demand more answers from Patrick NOW.
[] Hold Melanie and wait for more news to come in.
[] Step out of the room with Melanie for now to take in what you just heard.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?
