Let them Stay

The rest of the day had been a blur. Both twins had wasted no time at all moving in. They had brought up with them four suitcases alone, and had the rest of their stuff at the apartment within an hour. Marty was robbed of any chance to relax as both Blair and Gwen were setting up their space in the apartment.

As things started to wind down though, Marty found a moment to himself to relax. He had planned on turning on the TV and trying to drone everything else out now it was quiet enough to actually focus, however he instead found himself in his bedroom and facing an all too familiar board. He had newspaper clippings about the mysterious **** of a young man, with bits of string connecting seemingly unrelated events of other murders, robberies and rapes. The final part all joined to one place; Ballz incorporated.

“I’m sorry to disturb you,” said Gwen. Marty jumped up in shocked as he quickly took the board down and kept it out of eyes view. Luckily Gwen hadn’t noticed as she kept to the door frame.

“What is it?” He asked quickly.

“I imagine you are somewhat stressed about us moving in like this and-“

“It’s fine,” Marty cut in while weakly throwing up a hand. “Just tell me what the issue is.”

“Well basically there are three bedrooms in this house, yours, the one next to yours and the one on the opposite end of the room.”

“So basically-“ Blair said as he seemingly shot in from nowhere, giving Marty another jump. “We can’t decide who gets which since they’re the same.”

“Do you have a preference? Who can take the room next to yours?”

Marty blinked slowly, processing the question. He hadn’t really thought about it and just picked who could get the room next to his by saying the first person to pop into his head.
