A voice said, urging the girl to quicken her pace. The voice belonged to Alyssa, Gracie's older sister and the pair were strolling down the busy streets of New York, where the older Evans girl worked. Gracie had been visiting on vacation, and the sisters wasted no time in catching up, shopping and sampling the wide variety of food on offer in the big city. "I can't.. not with those stilts you have for legs." Gracie groaned feeling a little drained under the weight of the bags she carried. Alyssa was tall, even more so than Gracie, built like a runway model with the looks to match too. The girl caught up to her sibling, before feeling a weird pressure on her gut, "Allie, I feel weird," Gracie said, pressing a hand to her abdomen. "I feel.."<br/><br/>Eyelids fluttering open, Gracie woke up, her body covered in a thin film of cold sweat. It had all been a dream, and the pressure on her body had been no more than Toffee clambering up onto the bed and falling asleep on her. "Hey Goofball, get off me." Gracie yawned, nudging the dog awake, gently pushing against him until he moved off of her. Stifling the urge to yawn once more, the girl hopped off her bed, sleepily placing the revolver under her pillow back into her bags before leaving her room, only to find James missing. The note he had left behind solved that mystery though, and Gracie made it a point to make sure all the doors and windows in the place were properly latched and locked, only to be opened if and when James returned.<br/><br/>With the place to herself, at least temporarily, Gracie set about cleaning up around the place, putting things in their place and just making the apartment look neat and tidy. Sitting down to rest once she had completed her task, Gracie spotted the camera she had retrieved the previous day from the store. It took some figuring out, but Gracie eventually managed to set up the device outside of the main door. Once she had done so, the girl turned on her computer, intent on linking the camera to her network. As the dark screen lit up, she could not help but let out a sigh. It just so happened that the constantly rotating backgrounds on the laptop had changed to an Evans family photo, and the sight nearly made Gracie cringe. She hoped that they had somehow found a way to survive, as she had. They had to. It was the only thing keeping her going.<br/>
