Where: their bedroom
What: something's bugging Starbuck
The conversations with Cassie and Ana plagued Starbuck as he put Kamea to bed for the night and set about cleaning up the kitchen. He picked up toys and changed into pajama pants. All the while, his mind was focused on everything that could have possibly happened with Charlie and his family. Something felt off. There was no way that all the Burghards were simply ignoring him and Cassie. Something was wrong. It started with the visit to Ava. Hearing how upset she'd been, and that she had signed the divorce papers. But then learning that no one had heard from Charlie or his family since really caused the worry to set in.
Being unable to reach them had Starbuck considering a trip, but if something was wrong in a dangerous way, Starbuck couldn't put himself at risk and leave his own family at home. This wasn't a decision he could make alone. He needed to discuss what he was thinking with Kim.
Climbing into bed finally, he made himself comfortable by propping up some pillows against the headboard. Usually he'd read for awhile or watch some TV with Kim, but he didn't reach for a book or the remote right now. "What would you think about me going to California to check on Charlie and his family?" he asked her abruptly. There was no skirting around it.
