Ray had shut off the television and the video games. He'd brought the girls into the living room. They knew something was up, and the looks between them nearly broke Ray's heart. he was in for a long night, once he and Greg told the girls the news. It wasn't going to be easy, and they weren't going to take it well, but it had to be done. The girls needed to know,a nd they deserved to be told before they found out on the message boards.

"Daddy? What's wrong?" Sofia asked. Reina had hold of her hand. They definitely knew something was wrong. Ray reached for Sofia's hand, and Greg's, leaving Greg to take Reina's free hand. He had a vague notion of how corny it was, but their family was effectively reduced to just the four of them now, and they needed to stick together. Ray glanced at Greg, though he knew Greg was leaving it up to him to explain, because Greg wouldn't have the words to say what needed to be said.

	"I'm sorry, girls." Ray gave each of their legs a gentle squeeze. He had no reason, no explanation, beyond the fact things like that just happened. people came and people went. It wasn't fair and it wasn't easy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The girls both turned to frown at him, at the squeeze. "Bring them back," Fi whined, arms crossing over her chest. "Sofia," Greg sounded sad, reaching out for a hand through her hair that she dodged. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I wish we could, baby." Ray felt like screaming and crying and throwing things. He could deal with losing Orlinda and Mark, but he didn't know how to help Reina and Sofia deal with losing their mother and brother. And he had yet to tell them Drew and Karen were gone as well. And given the randomness of those people going missing, Ray wouldn't be surprised if other people were randomly gone too.

	"Find them!" She was crying now, right along with Reina as they held up a united front, arms crossed and pouts firmly in place. "There's nothing to find, baby, I- we looked. Fi-" Greg frowned, reaching for her again, getting slapped away this time. "No!" She stood, vaulting the couch and heading back to her room, Reina quick in tow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ray leaned back. "Let them go." He understood their need for time. Ray and Greg were the bad guy, now. "They'll settle down." And then, learn that Drew and Karen were gone too. Ray looked hopelessly at Greg. "Fuck." (Reply to this) (Parent)
