Carmen was wide eyed with concern and confusion as Lily bawled her eyes out. She was about to yell at the unfamiliar male again as he came hurrying over to Lily, but his words made her reconsider. [b]"I didn't... Lily... Don't cry, baby..."[/b]

[i]Baby? Were they...together? Why is she crying if...did he leave her?[/i] Her confusion only mounted, almost reaching the level she had when Lily blushingly spirited her and Matt away to the gun range. [i]Speaking of Matt...aren't they friends or something? Why is she asking me to help her and not him? I've barely talked to her...[/i] The whole situation seemed really odd to her for whatever reason...hopefully Lily would be able to clear some of her confusion when she was feeling better.

At this point the only thing she could do both out of concern for Lily and her current mental state was comply with Lily's request. "Sure, Lily. Come on," she said with a soft smile that she was able to manage, and took her hand to lead her in the direction of the houses.

"Which house is yours?" she asked.
