30 hours later.
Mia: I havent heard from Tía Andy in a while, do you think she's okay?
Maya: She's still staying with Dean, I think Dean is glad for the extra help with Pru.
Mia: Maybe I'll call her later see how she's really doing, this whole Sullivan thing must be doing her head in.
Maya: Yeah maybe try, because I've tried and she won't listen to me because she thinks I'm fretinizing with the enemy.
Mia: She doesn't really think that, She's hurting.
Maya: I know I just think she needs someone who's neutral or who loves her more than Sullivan. Don't even try to deny it.
Mia: Well she is my favourite tía.

All dialogue for now is whispers.
Sophie: Oww, what? Why?
Mia: That loud bang was a gunshot we need to stay low, stay quiet and stay hidden.
Isaac: How are we supposed to do that?
