Towards the Cathedral
I shut the door and lean against it, heart pounding furiously.
Phoebe
(I can't believe they've locked down the town!)
Phoebe
(She said the Bishop ordered it, but did Cameron have a hand in this too?)
Phoebe
(Ugh, overthinking like this won't do me any good.)
Phoebe
(I have to go meet the others.)
Phoebe
(Nicole is bound to have an explanation.)
After getting ready, I head down to the town's cathedral.
All the people I pass look fearful and confused.
Phoebe
(Clearly, this is causing a panic.)
Loud peals of laughter draw me towards the church steps.
A group of children surround Quinn.
She's down on on one knee to meet their level, hands dancing with finger puppets.
Phoebe
(Putting on a show at a time like this, she's relentless.)
Quinn catches my eye and winks, pulling off the puppets off her fingers.
Quinn
Alright, run along now, children.
Quinn
Your friend Quinn has some important buisness to attend to.
Quinn
Remember what I told you earlier! Be vigilant!
The children scamper off in all directions.
As she watches them leave, her lips tighten into a grimace.
Phoebe
(She really does care for them. She pretends she doesn't, but she does.)
She notices me watching and smirks.
Quinn
Ah, Miss Phoebe, light of my life, home of my heart!
Quinn
It's been far too long since I gazed upon your beauty!
I clench my fists, feeling heat spread all across my face.
Phoebe
(Must she act like this in public!)
Phoebe
(She's so frivolous sometimes. No wonder people think she's crazy!)
Phoebe
(I can't let her eccentric behaviour get me!)
Phoebe
*clears her throat*
Phoebe
Good morning, Quinn.
Phoebe
I take it, you've heard about the situation?
She snorts and waves a dismissive hand in the air.
Quinn
Who hasn't hear by this point? I- ah, our good doctor is here.
Quinn
Perhaps we'll get some answers.
I follow Quinn's gaze to Cameron, striding towards us with a scowl.
Phoebe
(She looks more annoyed than usual.)
Phoebe
Good morning, Cameron.
Cameron
Some morning it is.
