[b]Shannon - Haywood/Daniel's House - Daniel[/b]

Shannon didn't speak during Katie's story, for fear of upsetting her. In her own way, the girl was opening up to them, and Shannon was happy to let her. She felt a pang of sympathy when Katie spoke of Bull and Lauren. Despite Shannon`s reservations about the man, it seemed the pair of them had stepped up in order to take care of the little girl. That, at least, was admirable. When Lauren recovered, it was probably best to let the trio leave Haywood quietly. If the town learned who they were- and there was no doubt the town would eventually- there was no way Katie and her friends could stay.

Then Daniel appeared, prompting Emma to put Katie back to bed. Shannon smiled at them as they left. "Daniel, about the girl..." she began to say, but a knock at the door interrupted her before she could continue.

Shannon moved off the couch but stood where she was, not wanting to butt in on what was probably mayoral business. She got the gist of what was being said however, having heard Audrey's distressed tone and the mention of Tyler. When Daniel returned to the living room, Shannon stared at him. "What was up with that? Did something happen?"

[b]Bex - The Pub - Hazel/Luke/Jerry[/b]

Bex watched the girl, noting the stiffness of her movements. They looked slightly erratic, and the girl's expression was strange. She looked absolutely stunned to everything they were saying. Bex looked over at the other two to see if they noticed, but Luke had already begun messaging Reggie while Jerry couldn't take his eyes off whatever was cooking.

When Bex looked back at the girl, she was awkwardly smiling their way. He remembered again just how young she was. They were a group of armed older men and they were about to invite even more into what was essentially her home. It was no wonder the girl was nervous. Bex decided to loosen up and soften his expression.

"I'm not sure one room will be enough," Luke suddenly said. He had one hand over the radio, an action Bex was more used to seeing with a phone. "There will be eleven of us in total."

Before the girl potentially became totally freaked out, Bex jumped into the conversation with, "We're very sorry about all this. We've been out on a supply run and I'm sure there's some supplies we'll have to leave behind. We could probably let you take your pick of some of it."

Jerry gave Bex a perplexed look, but thankfully Luke looked like he approved of that idea. "Is that okay?" he asked.
