The noise suddenly stops as the door is slowly being open. Manda open up her eyes and quickly hug her weapon to her chest, securing herself from the danger that has just walk in.

‘Why does it have to be in this room!’ her mind scream as she stay quietly under the strip bed, stalking the ‘thing’ like a predator.

She could see a pair of black boots and thought that it might be Airin who just walk in. She cautiously stare from under the bed as she crawl towards it, not wanting to get close but to get a closer look without being spotted by the unknown being.

The figure seems to be wearing a white blooded coat, with a light brown color pair of pants that is now mud brown. The hair is a mess, like a prisoner who had been kept in prison for a very long time.

‘By god, that ‘thing’ smells like a dead animal!’ thought the character inside the game, telling Manda what she is thinking.

“Hehehe, thank god I’m not you.” chuckle Manda as she calms down and puts back on her serious face.

The figure seems to be moving like a normal person, not dragging its feet on the floor. It looks like that it’s trying to find something as it trashes the place up, especially the chemical cabinet.

‘What the hell are you doing…” thought Manda as she just keep still but suddenly her character gets out from the hiding place and sneak behind the figure.

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!” screams Manda to the TV as she tries everything to make her character stop from doing the unwise act. Her character does not even flinch from the commands but only raise the bat from its hideout and bash the figure’s head.

Manda eyes grow bigger as her lips part from each other. “Wha…What have you done…!?” roar Manda, making Airin and Hannah stun from the out range that just shout out from Manda’s mouth.

“My my, someone seems to be in the game spirit tonight.” chuckles Lydia as she looks up at the stairs and back to the TV screen.

“Kids today Lydia, they are into anything that involves with gaming systems.” laughs Angela as she turns up the volume just a little with the remote TV.

Angela looks around for a while and finally something caught up to her. “Lydia, have you seen our hubbies around?” ask Angela, blinking with a questioning face.

Lydia hums and looks around as well; thinking back where could those both men are in the middle of the night.

“Maybe outside?” replies Lydia doubly as she looks at Angela’s face. Angela just make an ‘oh’ sound and continue back to look at the TV screen, watching Dangerous Love series that are showing.

“What a handsome lad.” laughs Lydia as Angela joins in the fun.

“Yeah, he sure is! I wonder who would take him as a groom?” says Angela as she continues to watch the TV series, commenting it every minute or second if something happens that excited her.

Lydia gets up from her seat as she walks to the kitchen and takes a clean glass. As she pours some coffee in into it and walks back to the TV room, sitting back right next to Angela.

“It’s nice having someone with you watching the same TV series, right Lydia.” says Angela, still looking at the TV screen.

“Yeah especially drama series, somehow men don’t want to watch them as much as we do.” laughs Angela lightly as she turns up the volume up a bit.

After few minutes the show has finish, Angela and Lydia hear the front door creeks open as they hear someone coming in.

‘That must be them.’ thought Angela as she glances at the living room for a moment and back to the TV screen. Picking up the remote and change the TV channel.

“So, what should we watch now?” ask Angela as she clicks on the remote to find some good movies to watch.

“Hmm…I don’t know. An action movie maybe?” replies Lydia doubly while still thinking about what to watch.

“An action movie, you say? Alright, how about The Sorcerer and The White Snake?” suggest Angela as she switches to the Chinese movie channel with the remote.

“Sounds good to me!” replies Lydia once more laughing.

As Harry and Michael walks in, Angela stands from her seat and walks to the kitchen’s entrance. Stopping there, she turns around and asks her husband.

“Would you like something to drink, dear?” ask Angela as she blinks to him.

Michael nod and replies, “Hmm…Coffee would do.” as he smiles to his beautiful and loving wife.

“How about you Harry, could I fetch you anything?” ask Angela once more, turning her head slightly to Harry.

“Oh, that’s alright, Angela. I’m already full from the previous drink. Thank you for asking.” replies Harry modestly as he smiles to her.

Angela only nods and replies back the smile before she vanishes into the kitchen to pour the coffee for her husband. She then walks in into TV room with a cup of coffee on her hand as she puts the cup on the coffee table in the middle of the TV room.

“Thank you, love.” replies Michael as he takes the cup and sips the warm black coffee from the cup.

Angela nods and climbs up the stairs as the stairs squeaks and creeks.

Hearing sounds and some screams coming from the Airin’s room, she opens the door quietly and peeks in.

‘Still playing games at this hour? Aren’t they tired at all? Oh well, sooner or later they would go to sleep.’ thought Angela as she closes the door back gently and walks to her room.

Opening the door, she walks in and closes the door back from behind.

‘Good lord, I’m so tired.’ she thought as she walks to the wardrobe and changes her clothes to an old nightgown.

Walking toward to the bed, she climbs it up and tucks herself in as she closes her eyes and finally falls into a deep sleep.

Harry looks up at the clock and covers his mouth from yawning.

“Oh, it seems that someone’s sleepy.” says Lydia playfully as she stands from her seat.

“Well it is getting late, why don’t you both get some shut eyes. Beside, you must be really tired from the long flight.” says Michael as he too stands from his seating and smiles.

“Alright then, we’ll see you in the morning.” replies Lydia with a smile as she takes her husband’s hand and climbs up the stairs to their room.

Michael glance up at the clock and sits back on his comfortable couch.

‘Where could they be right now…Hmm, maybe their watching a late night movie on the cinema?’ thought Michael as he takes out his cellphone from his pants pocket and dial up one of his son’s number.

“Hello?” says the voice in the cellphone.

“Ah Zack, when would you guys be coming back home. It’s getting pretty late, did you bring the spare keys?” ask Michael as he waits for an answer from his son.

“Yeah dad, I’ve got them. Don’t worry dad, just go to sleep.” replies Zack with his soft voice.

“Alright then, I’ll see you soon.” says Michael and waits for the farewell word to be spoken.

“Yeah, okay. Bye dad.” replies Zack again as he hangs up the call.

Michael hums as he climbs up the stairs, walking to his room. While passing Airin’s bedroom, he could still hear some voices and laughter coming from in there.

‘They aren’t asleep yet?’ thought Michael as he approaches Airin’s bedroom door and knocks on it before opening the door.

“Yes daddy?” ask Airin as she pause the game and looks at him while blinking innocently like a child she is.

“Not tired yet?” ask Michael as he curves out a slight smile on his lips.

“Well, a little bit. Did we make a lot of noise that bothered you?” ask Airin as she just stares at her father’s face, waiting for an answer.

“Yeah, maybe if you could tune down a little bit, that would be nice of you, and you should sleep if you’re feeling tired, alright, Rin?” says Michael.

“Alright daddy, I will. Good night.” replies Airin innocently as Michael nods and closes the door gently.

“Hey Ai, what time is it already?” ask Manda as she looks at Airin with a questioning look on her face.

“Uh let me see…Hmmm…its half past midnight, why?” says Airin plainly as she sits on the floor while looking up at Manda’s face.

“What? 12.30 a.m. already!? I…Say what?!” shouts Manda in disbelief and lands herself on Airin’s bed to calm herself down.

“Wow, it’s getting late. Why don’t we just save this game and play it in the morning?” says Hannah as she yawns and rubs her eyes like an innocent child.

Airin only smile and nod as she saves the game by pointing the save section on the TV screen, then she turns off the gaming system after taking out the game disc.

“So, where would we sleep?” ask both Manda and Hannah at the same time.

“Uh…Yeah…” says Airin doubly as she walks to the bed and drags out the upper mattress from it, dragging it down to the floor.

“Will this do…?” ask Airin as she scratches her head gently while smiling.

“. . .Yeah this will do, I could sleep on anything right now.” yawns Hannah as she stretches both of her arms up and sits down on the mattress below.

Airin nods and takes unused warm blankets and pillows in her wardrobe and settles it down on mattress.

“Here are your blankets and pillows.” says Airin as she looks up at both Manda and Hannah, while climbing up on her bed.

Manda only blink and nod as she shares her sleeping place with Hannah.

“Lights on or off?” ask Airin as she holds out a white colour remote.

“Off please…” says both of them as they tuck themselves in and lay their heads down on the pillow.

Airin nod and clicks the button on the remote as the A/C in her room turns on. She then settles the remote down next to her pillow and cellphone as she claps her hands twice to switch off the lights.

“Good night~” says Airin lazily as she snuggles in her warm blanket, covering her close eyes with a funny sleeping mask.

“Good night, Ai…” says both of her friends as Airin could hear some rustling sound from their blankets.

The last thing Airin could remember before she gives herself in to the dark is that she could only hear the A/C’s wind blowing in her bedroom as the atmosphere becomes quiet.
