After watching his fellow blonde disappear from the kitchen, Chris couldn't help but feel that something was amiss with his sister. Even on her worst day she didn't space out like that when he was talking to her. Something was wrong and he wouldn't be a very good older brother if he didn't make sure Claire was okay.
Just as he was about to go after her, he was stopped by something odd sitting on the kitchen counter. Ever curious, he walked over to find that the object in question was none other than some kind of weird looking ray gun. "What the hell?"
He carefully picked it up to inspect it and was surprised by just how futuristic it actually looked. It was real Star Trek shit, and it left him more confused than anything. He knew it couldn't have been his mothers and his father was a big sports guy. So, did that make it Claire's? Last he checked; she wasn't really all that into Sc-Fi. Maybe it was her boyfriend's and he just left it behind.
Whatever the case he shrugged before pocketing it and returning to the task at hand. He needed to go check on Claire and make sure she was okay. Chris rounded the corner out of the kitchen and made his way upstairs to the second floor. From there he looked down the hall to where his sister's bedroom was located.
As he walked closer, he noticed the steel tiger sign that was hung on the door that read do not disturb. He couldn't help but smile as he'd bought that for Claire a little before he left for college and didn't know if she would actually hang it up or not. It was kind of nice to know that she did.
Chris was about to knock when he heard the sound of shuffling on the other side, followed by a small gasp. He tried to listen in more but couldn't tell what was going on. Without giving it a second thought, he began knocking on the door. "Claire? You alright in there?"
He tried turning the knob, but the door was locked. Chris frowned but wasn't all that surprised since she stopped leaving her door unlocked after one prank too many.
"Claire?" He tried again. "It's Chris!"
"W-What?!" She snapped from the other side.
"Are you okay in there? Open up!" He spoke.
More shuffling. "Uh... Just hold on a second!"
Chris did precisely that as he heard more shuffling and other sounds he couldn't quite place. Eventually he heard the lock roll over and saw the doorknob turn before it door itself opened to reveal a red-faced and agitated looking Claire.
"What do you want? I'm kind of busy right now."
Chris looked past Claire and into her messy room. "Uh huh..."
The blonde female began to tap her foot as she crossed her arms. She really couldn't deal with her brother right now. That damned itch was killing her, and it was taking literally everything she had not to scratch it right now. Plus, the shrink ray fell out of her pocket and was probably still in the kitchen or hallway somewhere.
Okay, Now Chris really concerned now. "So..."
