She heard the noise from her mother's room. Quickly, she examined the room for an object she might be able to use as an impromptu weapon. She lifted the porcelain lamp sitting next to the tattered blue love seat and slowly crept to the source of the sound. "Hello!?" She asked half-demandingly. She move forward in the limited environment. Details of her mother's bedroom started to peak into Jackie's sight. Jackie continued, "I know somebody's here, so just come out! We don't have anything of value here."

"Ha ha, Relax. Did you know that your step-dad still reads nudie mags? Hasn't he heard of the internet?" A young female voice uttered from within Jackie's room. She was trying to put her finger on it. Seeing as how there weren't that many people Jackie interacted with, it wasn't that hard to deduce.

"Haley! What the shit!? Why are you in my house!?" Jackie asked with sudden relief while still being a bit irritated.

Haley was two years older than Jackie. She appeared to be of Asian descent, but Jackie never bothered asking precisely what her heritage was. She stood five feet and six inches, and while this wasn't very tall, it made her look like some kind of amazon standing right next to Jackie. She roughly had the build of one a mannequin in a department store. She had varied fashion throughout the week. Sometimes drastically different. Today she was wearing red and black striped stockings covered by a grey miniskirt, a white t-shirt with one of those yellow smiley faces with an eye patch, a leather jacket that belonged in a James Dean movie, and knee-high burgundy combat boots. Despite all this, her shoulder-length black hair was put up in a simple pony tail. Haley and Jackie were classmates last year, but Haley was kicked out of school for undisclosed reasons before this new school year started.

Haley walked in front of Jackie with a rolled up magazine, who still had the lamp in her hands, and gave a smirk with her bright purple lipstick using primarily the left side of her face. "I got bored, so I went to see what you were up to." Haley hastily explained. Jackie started to put the lamp back in its rightful place and replied, "Okay, but you can't just break into people's homes!" Haley's face turned serious with a lion's expression and said, "Well, you're not people." There was a slight pause before she simply continued by saying, "Hey, did you want to do something?" Jackie seemed to let this break-in go and asked, "Did you have anything in mind?"

Haley closed the window that had been open and then marched toward the front door, "Come on, let's go." As Haley opened it Jackie asked, "What are we doing?" Haley ignored the question she obviously heard and advanced in a direction.
