Caroline was making homework, yes homework, when someone rang the doorbell. Her mother wasn’t home, so she’d have to get up.
As soon as she opened, she wanted to close the door again, but Ronnie stuck out her foot.
“Five minutes” she said. Caroline sighed and opened the door. “What?” she asked.
“I, eh,…I want to apologize” Ronnie started. “The way I harassed you. I was going too far. I know you’re close with Tyler and I jumped into conclusions. I assumed you knew where he was”
“And I told you I didn’t” Caroline replied cold.
“Yeah, I know” Ronnie said. “That’s why I’m here. To tell you I’m sorry”
“Apology accepted” Caroline said careless. “Look, I’m a little busy, so maybe you can leave, already?”
“I want to make it up to you” Ronnie said fast before Caroline could shut the door. “Tyler and I are going to the movies tonight” She looked over her shoulder as she said Tyler’s name. He was sitting in the car. “And we’d love it if you’d come with us”
Caroline’s mouth dropped open. “You’re asking me to be the third wheel on your date? Unbelievable” she said disgusted.
“I’m just trying to reach out, Caroline” Ronnie said.
“Go to hell” Caroline said and she slammed the door.

The next morning.
Jo woke up, because someone was banging the door.
“Mr. Allen? Open the door!” a female voice said.
Jo stumbled out of bed and wiped her eyes. She walked to the door and opened it. There were two inspectors, a man and a woman.
“Good morning, miss. I’m inspector Roberts, this is my colleague inspector Williams” Isabel said, showing her badge. “We need to talk to Emmanuel Allen. We were told we could find him here”
Jo frowned and shook her head. “I don’t know anyone with that name. You have the wrong house”
Inspector Williams searched in his bag and conjured a picture. “Maybe this might help you?” he said. Jo’s eyes widened and she took the picture. “I know him” she admitted. “But his name’s not Emmanuel. It’s Castiel”
