Didn't see it coming

Mean while... The others who've been locked away don't know what's happening on the outside. 

How long do you think we've been gone? Nick ask Kelly. 

Maybe a week if I guess right why? she ask him.

Because if it's longer My sisters will begin to get worried then start asking questions if one of them doesn't get them there's going to be trouble.
You haven't  been away from them much have you? she ask him.
No, why? he ask her.
Because you have a dependency on them maybe for you this could be a somewhat good thing.
She gets up from where she is to walk around a bit.
What are you trying to say? He ask.
Well, I only call them as I see them & the way you speak of them it seems they have done a bit to much for you.
Chris well, she cares but, not often around much now, Nkira on the other hand has been more like a Mom to me from the time our real mom left or, vanished I've never gotten the same story twice.
I'm sorry I didn't know.
Happens.
One of the younger ones watches the door.
