(Oh God no.)

Jake blinked, stumbling back, as Surprised as Doug.

--

Carla set a hand on Zoe's shoulder as she talked, and Tad explained things.

(I need to get those. I should, but I have no money.)

(Why npot?)

Abby blinked.

(Portal 2 will be coming out soon, so Portal will go on sale.)

Zoe just sobbed.

~~~

Doug laid there, dazed, and got up slowly, spitting a little blood.

Jake blinked, stepping back, "What's the matter with you, man?"

(I have no connection to the Mythical land of Nippon)

--

Carla frowned, looking down somberly. She hung up a moment later, and sat down on the bed opposite. "Are you going to be okay?"

(Cool, Maybe I'll get it then)

He sat up, scowling. "She harrassed me."

~~~

"I... don't know."

(Nippon? How often is it called that?)

(Daily, within their own Language.)

Jake shook his head, "Drop the act, dude."

--

Carla frowned, "Should we get that boy you had with you earlier?"

Abby bit her lip, trying to say silent.

(???)

"Boone? I... I don't know, he doesn't like Remmy." She said. "R-Remmy was mean, but he was my b-brother."

~~~~

"Okay Jake." He stood. "You want to know what my problem is?" He pulled Jake into the room, slamming the door on Abby. "I'm in love." His face turned furious.

Abby made a face. "Hey!"

Jake blinked, his back up against the door. "Yuh... wuh?"

(yeah)

--

Carla nodded, "It's alright..."

Doug looked around, making sure the window and curtain was closed. "Jake man, I trust you, okay? You can't fucking tell anyone. I'm incredibly serious."

~~~

Zoe closed her eyes. "We used to be really close, my brother and... and I..."

Jake blinked, and gave a faint nod, "Okay..."

--

Carla frowned, looking down, "I'm very sorry..."

"It's... aw who am I kidding, it's not okay." She said softly.

~~~

He released Jake. "Man, I'm in love with..." He swallowed, looking at him. "With you."

She put her arm around Zoe's shoulder, looking down.

--

Jake blinked, looking behind him. "You mean Abby, right?"

Doug's eyes saddend, and then he coughed. "Right, yeah. I knew she was listening, see." He crossed his arms. "Happy? I'm in love and it's affecting me deeply."

~~~

"I guess I should visit him."

Jake blinked, looking at him, "Wait..." He said.

--

Carla nodded, "Do you need a ride?"

"Now go smooch with Abby." He said, opening his door.

~~~

"That'd be great." she said softly.

"But We're just friends-" he glanced at Doug, "What's going on..." He was confused.

--

Carla nodded, "Okay, it's just outside."

Doug pushed him through the doorway. "And we're on the first floor, pushing her out the window did not hurt her." He closed the door.

~~~

"Thank you, Detective Valenti..." She said.

"S-sorry I punched you..." He said, scratching his head.

--

She nodded, "It's Carla."

Abby blinked again. "Uhm ..."

Jake scratched his head, "I'm... confused..."

"It's okay." Doug said through the door.

~~~

"Carla."

Carla smiled faintly, "Let's go."

--

Jake swallowed weakly, glancing over at Abby.

"So am I, what the hell just happened?" Abby asked.

"I don't know if I can tell you..." Jake said.

Zoe smiled back at her weakly, and nodded, standing.

She bit her lip. "Okay, fine. So, uh, I'm not tired any longer. Wanna watch another movie?"

Jake frowned, scratching his head, "I guess so..." He was seriously perplexed. The Wheels were slowly turning.

--

Carla nodded, heading out towards the street.

She took his arm. "Let's go make some popcorn to calm you down."
