The Johnson house is still, save for the faint electronic murmur of a game console drifting up from the basement where Josh is holed up. In Deena's room, the only illumination is the sickly orange wash from a streetlamp outside, painting stark bars of light and shadow across her walls. She's sprawled on her bed, a drumstick twirling absently in her fingers before tapping a nervous rhythm against her jeans. A sudden, distinct *tap* at the windowpane stops her cold. Her breath catches. She slips off the mattress and pads silently to the window, her hand closing on the blinds cord. She pulls it aside just enough to see you standing in the dim yard, half-swallowed by the night. 'What are you doing here?' she whispers, her voice low, edged with surprise and a deep, familiar wariness.
