“Oh, hey,” He jumped slightly. “Oh, yeah, she went to get her damn game thing. But no worries, she’s been warned not to go anywhere but the car and back. She should be returning soon.” He looked back toward Eva, “You going to be in town for a little while? We should all do something, hang out again.”

"I don't know..." Eva looked around. This was the gym where she'd actually met Jack, years and years ago. She desperately tried to pull her mind to something else, someone else, but couldn't.
"I havn't really made any plans yet..... I guess it all depends...."

Rose smiled. "You should so hang around, Evie. Cain's right, we should all hang out together. It'll be like old times."

"Just not exactly the same without...." Eva looked towards where Jack had been standing. He was gone! She looked frantically around, trying to find where he'd gone

Jack stood beside Cain, shaking his head.
“They have a three drink limit. I’m gonna bail, she’s not coming.” He ignored whoever they were talking too, didn’t even bother looking at her. He was stupid to have come, to have thought that she would come. He was stupid to have let her get away in the first place.

"She?" Eva got out before covering her mouth. So much she wanted to ask, but..... here she thought she'd have to avoid him, and he was plenty busy ignoring her himself.
She knew she should be happy about it, him not wasting his life worrying about her, but still..... it hurt a bit. If, by bit she meant to many tons it could crush her to death.

Cain felt like he was surrounded by stupid people again, like he did most of the time when ever he was trying to get something passed by the council and they weren’t listening. Maybe it was something in the water.
“A’hum, she is here, Jack,” Cain stated, rather flatly. Okay, he was finished with the whole “reunion” thing, was it time to go home yet?

“No one.” Jack blinked at her. Well, now he just felt like an idiot.
<Don’t blow it. Don’tblowit Don’tblowit Don’tblowit.>
“Hey.”

No one? A girlfriend or something, right? Did he even recognize her? And when the hell was up with 'hey'?
"Hi Jack...." she said gaurdedly. "It's nice to see you again." she stood up straighter, trying to smile

“Hey, honey, why don’t we go talk to some other people?” Cain asked, grabbing his wife’s arm and dragging her off toward another group of people across the room.

Rose didn't argue. She let herself be tugged away, taking only a few glances back. "Hey, Cainy, shouldn't Wika be back by now?"

Cain stopped. “Yes, she should be.” He sighed, “C’mon, let’s go out and look for her, damnit, I knew I should have just said no and kept the keys.” He grabbed his wife’s hand again, as he started for the door.

Rose sighed and continued to let herself be dragged. So this is what she'd done to him all through high school. Damn karma...

Cain probably had that “pissed off Pop” look, Lord knows he was feeling pretty mad. He didn’t let go of Rose’s hand until they were outside. “Wika!” He snapped, grabbing Rose’s hand again, he just needed something to hang on to. It was a little scary to not know where your kid was in a town of people that changed into wolves. He started toward the car, pulling his wife with him. “Wika! You’d better answer me girl!”

"Yeah, Dad?" Wika was sitting on the trunk of the car, her hazel eyes focused on her shining black game console. She paused her game and looked up at her parents, smiling innocently.
"You screamed?"

Cain sighed. At least she wasn’t running around in the street or something, like she’d done when she was four and Cain had taken her to the store to get something for Rose. He’d turned his back to pay the cashier and out the door little Wika had gone. He’d freaked out before realizing she was standing in the middle of the parking lot, stomping in a mud puddle. She was in more danger then she’d been in the parking lot when he’d rushed over and picked her up, hugging her tightly. He’d never forgotten how scary it was not to know exactly where your child was every second. That and Rose had never let him forget it, even if he’d wanted too.
“Wika, what did I tell you?” He growled, letting go of Rose’s hand.

Wika shrugged a little. "Sorry. There were still cars pulling up and since I didn't wanna end up like Kibbles, I thought I'd sit on the car till the traffic slowed."
Rose frowned. "Wika, sweetie," She walked over to the car and sat next to her daughter. "Kibbles was sick. That's how he died. He wasn't run over."
"That's what Dad told me to say after he accidently-" She quickly covered her mouth. "Oops..."
"Cain, what's she talking about? ...Cain? ...Cain?! What did you do to my dog?!"

Cain’s face drained of blood. He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to think of something to say, something that would get him at least out of “sleep-in-the-guest-room” mode.
“Now, Rosie, I didn’t,” he sighed, “I didn’t mean too. Kibbles was standing in the drive way, I didn’t see him.” He tried to smile but failed. “I thought not telling you would make it easier. I can see now.” He looked at Wika. “That, that plan would have never worked.”
He turned back to Wika, forgetting Rose for a moment; he could gravel and beg for mercy and forgiveness later. “You should have hurried, besides, what’s so wrong with sitting in the car and not on it? Get down.”

Rose stared at him, her lower lip trembling slightly. "You...ran over my dog? The dog I'd had since before we got married..." She sighed and looked down. "...Well, he was old..."
"And suicidal." Wika pipped in. "He actually tried to jump off the roof once but he landed on me." She looked at Cain sheepishly as she slid off the car. "...I locked the keys in."
