An emergency

"Uh sorry, I'm not much of a tea drinker." You say.

Indigo shrugs. "That's fine. I suppose you didn't plan on me visiting anyway."

"Well, I'm not complaining."

"An orange juice will do, if you don't mind?"

"Of course not. Let's hope Valerie left me some glasses."

As you rifle through the cupboards, Indigo says "Molly already give you an earful?"

"Pretty much."

"Eh, Valerie's not that bad."

"Appears not." You say, pulling out two glasses.

"Perfect."

You then fill both glasses with juice. As you pass one to Indigo, she looks to her wrist-mounted smartphone. In an instant, concern fills her face, casting a shadow over her upbeat demeanor. Her fingers frantically tap on her screen, and you wonder what exactly is going on.

"You okay?" You ask.

"Yeah I'm fine." Indigo's voice trembles with doubt, the polar opposite of what you'd been growing accustomed to.

"What's going on?"

Her eyes shift from the screen to you. "You got a car?"

"Yeah. What's the problem?"

"Rosie needs a lift."

"Sure, I can do that.

"Thanks Eric."

The two of you head back towards the elevator. What Molly had said about Rosie rings through your head, and so does Indigo's panicked demeanor. Demeanor that seems to disappear when she enters the elevator and calls Rosie. "Hiya Rosie... You okay?... Okay good. So there's a new neighbor and he's gonna pick you up. I'll be there too, okay?... Alright, I'll see you soon... Okay bye."

"Is she alright?" You ask.

"Yeah... she can be a bit flakey, but she'll be fine. Just let me do the talking."

"Understood."

The elevator then arrives in the garage. You pull out your keys and unlock your car. Upon seeing the flashing lights, Indigo breaks into a sprint that you couldn't hope to match. Once you catch up, you say "Damn you're fast."

"Yeah sorry. A bit pointless really."

"I suppose standing around is too."

Indigo nods before getting into the car with you. With a twist of the key, you bring the engine to life. Driving off, you wonder just what exactly you've gotten yourself into this time.
