"Alright, whatever you two think is best," Van Helsing agreed, going to lie down on one of the beds. "She's right outside."
"Go ahead, then, Carl," Van Helsing smiled. "Jinx, do you want to take Beatrice with you? She's here."
"That would be nice," Van Helsing replied. "What shall we do now? Sleep? Drink? I don't even know."
"I didn't mean right now, dear," Van Helsing said softly. "Later, of course, if I have to."
"Then what do you suggest I do?" Van Helsing sighed. "There's no way talking to him... unless," he added, having an idea, "unless it's through Hannah."
"I can very well kill you," Van Helsing retorted after a moment.
"Because I'm tired of you keeping secrets from all of us," Van Helsing snapped, standing up from his chair. "I'm tired of you keeping things from everyone else here... we're a team, Edward. A group that cannot function toward a main goal if we're divided by separate desires. It would be wonderful, then, if you can share with everyone what you know."
"The library," Van Helsing repeated. "What was so interesting there?"
"That extra day we had in Rome, you went off by yourself somewhere," Van Helsing began. "Where were you?"
"I doubt it," Van Helsing smiled, not offended. "The point is, I have a question that I have been meaning to ask you the last few days, but other things have gotten in the way."
"Well, how's paradise next door?" Van Helsing began a little harshly, glaring at Edward.
"You both love it," Van Helsing sighed. "Just control yourselves, alright?"
"Sorry," Van Helsing smirked at Beatrice. "I wou'dn't have done anything... really... well, maybe."
"Um," Van Helsing began uncertanly. "Should I knock him out again or can we play with him?"
"Alright," Van Helsing said slowly, looking sideways at Carl.
"So who's your friend?" Van Helsing asked, pointing to the unconscious man in the chair.
"Maybe," Van Helsing replied. "That sounds like a good idea."
"He doesn't know," Van Helsing sighed. "She didn't even remember him... I wonder what he'll think."
"Hmm," Van Helsing thought. "Carl was... researching. And I killed Edward's sister."
Van Helsing opened the door and let himself and Carl inside. "What are you two up to?"
