At the door, of course, was Louise, dressed up nicely even after a long day of work. She smiled at May, going and sitting on the couch next to Max, who'd jumped up.
"Hi you two!" She replied. "Is everything okay?"

"Yes'm." May replied, following the woman inside and sitting on the floor again.

She smiled.
"That's good. I just got done from a case. You two have a new neighbor, you know."

"Yep." May replied. "Max was talkin' to her the way home from school."

"Really?" Louise looked over to him. "That was nice of you. As it seems, she might really need a friend here."

"Why?" May squeaked in response to the woman.

"Well, Sweetie, Miss Emelia Banks was just married about a year ago. She and her husband came here and left her family all the way back in Detroit. And I've heard... some rumors that their relationship... well, isn't exactly wholesome."

"She means," Max started up rather fast, "That her husband is about as nice to her as Mom is to us..."

"I know, I know." Louise sighed, resting her hand on her two mentally adopted kids' knees. "But there's not quite enough evidence to convict him yet... and even if there were, Miss Emelia seems to not want to press charges against him."

"I know, I know." Louise sighed, resting her hand on her two mentally adopted kids' knees. "But there's not quite enough evidence to convict him yet... and even if there were, Miss Emelia seems to not want to press charges against him." "Is there anything we can do to help?"

"You can be nice to her, and try to make her staying here as painless as possible." Louise smiled at her... right as her phone went off. She sighed, standing up and glancing at it. "I'm sorry, my dears, that's my boss. I have to go, I love you!"
With that, she gave them kisses and left.

The middle child of the Crosser family waved as the woman left, before turning to her brother after Louise had left their home.
"...Now what?"

Max didn't really say anything... going immediately upstairs to their room and back onto the landing.

He wouldn't find anyone there, at least not at this hour.

He'd still sit up there... and eventually fell asleep.

Eventually, May would come out to the landing, dragging him into their room.
"You're too heavyyyy!!" May groaned dragging into the room.

"Maxxxx..." The girl mocked in reply, pulling him onto her bed with her.
