They hear one loud voice saying ‘the time has come.’ Unsure of what is happening, Oscar decides to take the lead and goes ahead and looks in the room. With Nicholas right behind him, Oscar is ready to charge, only to be slowed down by Nicholas, who dares to look through the crack in the door.

“What?” Nicholas says. “What is this?” Oscar then looks through the crack and lets go of his gun. He then gets up and slowly opens the door enough to look inside, careful not to be noticed. There he a group of about 8 men, dressed up in cosplay. Ann unsure of what they are seeing is misled by their silence. She comes closer and opens the door in one push, worried her fears are proven true. Before anyone can stop her, the door swings open in a matter of seconds, revealing a bunch of people inside the room, all in costume now staring at the three of them.

“I am ready, I am ready,” Benjamin says running out of one of the rooms in costume. Now everyone turns to stare at him, leaving him confused with the unwanted attention. As he looks at the door he sees Annalise, Nicholas and Oscar. “Ann? Nick?” Benjamin says surprised. “What are you doing here?” He says ignoring Oscar.

“We were just,” Ann stutters trying to find an excuse.

“Ben, what is all this?” Nicholas asks.

“Well,” Benjamin says looking a little embarrassed. “I was told I needed to start a hobby. Preferably one from childhood and I used to love doing this. I know it’s been a long time since I have but, it helps keep me busy.” Benjamin says looking at Ann as she smiles happily, weirdly relieved he took her advice.

“But why here?” Oscar asks. “You shouldn’t be trespassing.”

“We aren’t.” One of the guys in costume says. “This building is my dad’s.”

“Yeah.” Another guy adds. “If anyone is trespassing it is you.” Just then Benjamin notices the expression on Oscar’s face.

“Sorry to disappoint you detective but you won’t find anything here.” Benjamin says confidently. “I suggest you do your job properly and try to arrest criminals, not innocent cosplayers.” Just as Oscar is about to retaliate, Nicholas lets out a laugh.

“I am sorry.” Nicholas says trying to control his laugh. What they had expected to be a blood bath was nothing more than a simple game. The difference between expectation and reality had caused Nicholas to realize the hilarity of the situation. Ann begins to laugh as well, finding her false assumptions and behavior hilarious. Looking at the two of them laughing some of the cosplayers join in, finally, there was nothing but laughter heard in the room. Though unsure of what was so funny, laughter was truly contagious at that moment. After a few moments, the tension in the air was erased and Ann, Nicholas, and Oscar were invited to join in. An innocent live action game which was played in an abandoned building, a perfect setting for the game. With the mood lightened, Nicholas decides to join in leaving Ann and Oscar alone.

“So,” Oscar says after a few moments of silence. “That’s your boyfriend?”

“Yes.” Ann replies.

“He’s a good guy.”

“Tell me about it.” Ann says as the two siblings smile having a normal conversation. “It’s almost like he knows exactly what to do.”

“True,” Oscar says. “I can’t imagine you two going alone and you breaking the door down without a second thought.” Ann and Oscar smile.

“Sorry, I panicked,” Ann says. “As much as I hate to admit it, you are right. I do let my emotions take over. This would have ended badly in another situation.”

“Thank you.” Oscar says as Ann stares at him and he smiles. “You know I have someone too,” Oscar says with a slight blush. “I really like her.”

“She sounds great,” Ann replies

“She is, she is smart, pretty, and is just so… I feel like myself around her,” Oscar replies as Ann can feel the affection in his words. “I’ll introduce you two later.”

“I would like that,” Ann says. “So how does she feel about the real you?” Ann says teasing Oscar as Nicholas watches from a distance. He is happy that the two siblings finally made up. Just then Oscar gets a call and he answers it. His expression now turns serious as he calls out.

“Benjamin!” Oscar says. “Come with me.”

“Why?” Benjamin asks.

“Gregory Morgan has woken up from his coma.”
