While Steve and Beth got busy, across the motel Steve's kids were struggling with new circumstances they suddenly found themselves in.
"I'm bored." Nicole cried to her older siblings.
"Nicole I'm trying to read. Why don't you just watch some tv for a little while." Lisa said to her little sister.
Lisa was reading some of Steve's journal notes from Erica's first rampage. She had snatched it from atop his dresser at home without his knowledge. She hoped there was something, anything, that help her make sense of how her mom was acting.
Nicole ran over to Derek who was scrolling through his phone on the bed.
"Want to watch tv with me Derek?." Nicole asked her brother.
"Not now Nicole. I'm busy." Derek said without even bothering to lift his eyes off the screen.
He was refreshing for any news on Debbie and Erica's whereabouts and where they might be heading. He was confident that if he could find his mom and make contact then she'd have a good explanation for everything he'd seen on tv.
Nicole growled and stomped off to watch tv by herself. She hated it here. Mainly because it was just an extension of their home life recently. Her dad was never around. Her sister and brother didn't want to anything to do with her. And her mom, her mom was just missing from the picture. They treated Debbie like she was dead even though that was far from true. Nicole just wanted to be back home so she could pretend that things were like they used to be. When they were all one big happy family.
Nicole flipped through channels which mostly were just footage her mom and that other giant lady on screen. This was the closest she had come to seeing Debbie since she decided to turn herself in. It didn't make her feel any better. Eventually she settled on a rerun of a cartoon to distract herself.
All three siblings busied themselves until late in the evening when Lisa finally said it was time to get ready for bed. She tucked Nicole in before joining her under the covers while Derek occupied his own bed. Hours passed at the sleepy motel until in the middle of the night the door of the kids room creaked open. The figure emerged from inside and quietly shut the door behind them before disappearing into the darkness.
