"Jack, please, you need to calm down..."

"No Rose...not until I know what's happened to my children."

Felix was nearly three hours late by now. No matter how many excuses Jack tried to come up with for his best friend, none pleased him. Nor did they necessarily calm him down either. It was such a simple task to add on to it all. All Felix had to do was pick his kids up at five and get them home by nine.

Jack put his trust into his friend to do just that. It seemed his trust must have been misguided though, because now it was nearing twelve o'clock at night and there still wasn't a sign of Felix or Edd and Molly. Every minute that passed where Jack wasn't seeing Felix's car pull into the curb only made him angrier. This would be the last time he'd trust his best friend for a while, that was something he was certain of.

Rosemary had tried her best to keep a level head through it all. Still, there was a small anxious pit that grew as the hands on the clock nearby ticked on. Edd and Molly were her children too after all. She'd tried to calm Jack down, even a little, but when he got this mad not even she could cool him off.

Sophie wasn't much better either. Given, she didn't really entirely get what was going on–nobody was telling her or you anything about where Edd and Molly was. Still though, they were her younger siblings and she was rightfully worried. She didn't come home with cotton stuffed in her mouth just for her to overhear Jack and Rosemary's worried conversations for the past few hour. At least she didn't have to have the stupid cotten anymore.

Padding down the stairs with you in tow Sophie was seeking answers. All she knew was that Edd and Molly hadn't come home from their Spring Dance.

"Mom...?"

Her small voice drifted through Jack's increasingly heated ramblings at the Felix that wasn't on the other side of their red rotary phone and straight into Rosemary's ears. She blinked, looking over her shoulder only to see you two.

"Oh, Sophie...what did you need sweetie?"

It'd be a long night.
