Chris didn’t agree with Brie and her supposition that it wasn’t wrong for Melinda to ask a stranger into the Manor. Brie pointed out exactly that he was unknown. Chris had never met any demons that knocked on the door and rarely found guests come from out of the blue in the same manner. Why was this contractor paying a visit so late in the evening? Who was he? A licensed private investigator contractor? Likely story.<br/><br/>As if his mind wasn’t spinning enough, Chris also had to content with his fiancé. Granted, nearly half the participants at dinner this evening managed to pop in and out magically without consequence. Why should Bianca get in trouble for something the family did all the time? Granted, should Bianca have scouted the place first? Perhaps. However, had Melinda not let in a stranger it would have been a moot point. Dealing with a little sister and dealing with a fiancé. Neither were of interest to Chris.<br/><br/>The middle-child that definitely suffered from middle-child syndrome listened to Andi as he explained his background. The contractor went into detail of how he obtained the information to track down Brie. “I guess we need to get our number unlisted.” Chris said sardonically with a sigh. “You’ve found Brie, she can sign your paperwork and we can call get back to dinner, right?” He looked at Melinda and Brie disapprovingly.<br/><br/>Chris wasn’t a bad person, in fact his actions were motivated purely out of concern for his siblings and family. It was after all Chris and Bianca who risked their lives to send Chris to the past so that everyone could be born. He was overly careful to see that his work wasn’t undone by stupid mistakes. He cared too much for his family.<br/><br/>“We don’t mean to rush you.” Chris said with flat affect and not meaning the words. He looked at the two young women before him and realized he was being a bit too blunt and unkind. They were on the side of good and innocents needed helping even if it was financially. Staring into his sister’s and cousin’s eyes brought back memories. It was the same look Chris witnessed in his mother’s and aunts’ eyes years before when he was overzealous with action. He cleared his throat. “Ahm…I think we do need some renovations done on the club the family owns. If things work out with your dance studio, perhaps your contractor could use more work.” Chris looked at Brie and then Melinda, attempting to back track slightly on his poor attitude.<br/>
