Leroy, Tanya, Oliver and Tate
"So," said Leroy, "you've returned."
Tanya raised an eyebrow.
"What do you expect?"
"Oh I don't know. Maybe that you've abandoned your husband and two children."
"Uh huh. Sure."
Leroy stood up.
"Where do you go anyway?"
"I do have other work to do you know. Stuff that can't always be passed on to other people."
"We do have a job to do here you know. These people... I think they're starting to get suspicsious of your regular absenses."
"Sucks to them."
"This is important."
"No kidding. Some things simply have to be."
Leroy shook his head as he put his hands on her shoulders.
"Can you at least try to be a bit more discreet?"
Tanya gave him a cynical look.
"How do you make an absense discreet? Sometimes I..." she paused. "Oh no. No, no, no, no. We're not going there again, Leroy."
"Going where?" he breathed.
Then he kissed her. Tanya pulled away.
"No, Leroy," she said in ambivilance. "No. I mean it. I mean it..."
She kissed him.

Tate and Oliver returned from school. They dumped their bags in their rooms and then Tate seeked Oliver out again. She grabbed his arm and started steering him towards the door.
"What the... Tate?"
"We can't stay here," Tate said. "They don't want us here."
"Hey, that's your power, not mine."
"I don't think you really want to be here either."
"Yeah? And why's that?"
"You don't want to know."
"Tell me anyway."
"Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you. They're having sex."
"What? Who? Oh my gosh!"
"See? I told you, you didn't want to know!"
The 'twins' left.
