Night in a small house in the suburbs

A white haired man in a suit arrives to his home

Lincoln – girls! I'm home!

A ten years old girl with silver blond hair covering one of her eyes and light blue dress goes to greet the man

Lincoln – Lindsey!

Lindsey – Dad!

Lincoln – Where are your mother and sister?

Lindsey – A man from the school came and he began asking questions and…

Lincoln – great… the inspector came, how is mom dealing with him?

Lindsey – …Liberty is

Lincoln – Dang it! I'll check it; don't worry.

Lindsey – Thanks dad!

In the dinning room

A lot of noise is heard from a guy in a dark suit and a little eight years old white haired girl in orange clothes that are arguing about each other

Inspector – …And I'm telling you again I won't go anywhere until…! Oh, mister Loud, isn't it?

Lincoln – Please call me Lincoln; is something wrong?

Inspector – Well as a matter of fact… never mind, I came to ask you some questions.

Lincoln – Sure!

Inspector – You are certainly more… cheerful than your wife, by the way, I prefer to do this in a more private matter

Lincoln – Sure, Lindsey, Liberty why don't you go to your room while I'm doing this?

Inspector – Actually, only with you

Lincoln – But… she is behind me, isn't she?

A dark haired and clothed short woman with bangs covering her eyes appears behind Lincoln

Lucy – Old habits die hard

Lincoln – Hi dear

Lucy – Hi, I'll wait for you in the room, when you finish this absurd thing

Lincoln – I won't take long dear

Inspector – So she can talk

Lincoln – She doesn't like to talk with other people, she's a little shy you know?

Inspector – sure… a little, anyway as you where informed in the last teachers parents reunions I have to check into the parents mental health

Lincoln – Yes I remember, the thing about knowing the parents mental health to see if the kids need certain meds in school… please tell me you don't think my wife needs…

Inspector – Don't focus on that please, just answer some questions and we'll inform you in a week or so

Lincoln – Okay, but she's just shy

Inspector – Fine, first, a spider is steading at your shoulder, what do you do?

After fifty questions

Inspector – Finally, these questions are not completely for the psychological analysis but to have an expedient of the parents

Lincoln – Okay

Inspector – how did you meet your wife?

Lincoln – What? I thought the questions were just about me

Inspector – Your wife is… hard to deal with and it's part of the report, if you could…

Lincoln – You could say we kind of… grew up together

Inspector – I see, meaning you met in elementary school?

Lincoln – even before that

Inspector – Are you the same age, right?

Lincoln – … …Yes…

Inspector – Do you have arguments often?

Lincoln – No, the last time we argued was when we decided to have Liberty… almost nine years ago now.

Inspector – In general, how is your relationship with your family? Beginning with your wife please

Lincoln – Well… I love Lucy and she loves me, she's a little afraid to choose by herself, but I think I'm helping her overcoming that

Inspector – I see… do you know what she does when not with you?

Lincoln – Well, she does the chores of the house, take care of the kids, and write her poems

Inspector – Write poems? Which kind?

Lincoln – You… should better read her latest book to know that

Inspector – She published? "Of eternity in the void by Silent Darkness" right… Do you like… gothic stuff?

Lincoln – I think that's cool as my wife, even if I'm not into that

Inspector – I see… tell me about your children, Lindsey, how is she?

Lincoln – She's the opposite of her mother, much like one of her aunts she loves animals and looking to the good side of everything she even helps with the house chores without anybody telling her to do so…

Inspector – Well as far as I saw, she wasn't… very enthusiastic to be with her mother and I

Lincoln – That's because she can't stand gothic stuff, so she tends to… not be near her mother a lot of time

Inspector – And with her sister

Lincoln – They are best friends, of course they may fight once in a while, principally because misunderstandings, but they get along

Inspector – And this comes to the smallest member of this house

Lincoln – Liberty… she reminds me a lot when I was a kid, she just have to be more… tolerant that her mother is different to others, despite that, she tries to act as if she were more mature than she really is, even being overprotective of her family, I had to punish her a couple of times for fighting to bigger kids when they made Lindsey cry.

Inspector – Even if she is a lot like you… it doesn't sound like you are very… proud

Lincoln – I am, but sometimes I get a little anxious if she would do something extreme just because how kids are, also I wish she got along better with her mom

Inspector – Are they in bad terms?

Lincoln – No, but Liberty is… a little… sometimes she is teased in school for how Lucy is, so she began asking her to stop being… herself

Inspector – You don't approve that

Lincoln – I grew up in a house with many sisters each one with a personality different from the rest, if I learned something from that, is that everybody have to be themselves

Inspector – I see, you mentioned your family before; how much do you see each other

Lincoln – never

Inspector – A fight?

Lincoln – Yes

Inspector – Could you tell me why?

Lincoln – Do I have to answer? I don't like to remember

Inspector – Yes, this is in order to know in which kind of family are each kid, if we had incomplete information we would have trouble.

Lincoln – I see… when… when we were about to go to college, we… had an accident

Inspector – Which kind of accident?

Lincoln – The one that gave us Lindsey

Inspector – Is she not wanted?

Lincoln – No! We love our daughter! But… we didn't plan to have one at that time, and our families didn't expect us to either

Inspector – Where your families in bad terms each other?

Lincoln – No, they just… they just didn't want Lucy and I to be together, that's why they exploded when Lindsey was in the way

Inspector – I understand

Lincoln – We had a hard time, if it weren't because our friends we wouldn't make it out of the streets alive

Inspector – Do you still see your friends?

Lincoln – Yes, especially our very close ones Clyde and his wife Haiku

Inspector – Haiku is not a name

Lincoln – She changed her name to that… and was know as Haiku as far as I remember

Inspector – Japanese culture obsessed girl?

Lincoln – Lucy's old gothic friend

Inspector – … Right… just a last question, did any of you tried to commit suicide?

Lincoln – What? Of course I didn't

Inspector – did your wife?

Lincoln – She… I don't want to answer that

Inspector – Your answer will be confidential and let remind you; this is for the kids sake, we do need to understand which kind of parents let their kids in the school and with your negative answer; I'm afraid I'll have to assume she did and without the background; she may be labeled just as suicidal, am I clear why you should answer?

Lincoln – She tried once

Inspector – Why?

Lincoln – When our families new that… Lindsey was in her way, they just turned their back to Lucy even kicked her out of the house

Inspector – and your family?

Lincoln – They were like that too… they made me to take a decision

Inspector – Continue

Lincoln – They told me I had to choose between staying with my family, go back with… somebody else and go to college or go with Lucy that was already in the streets

Inspector – How did that led to the suicide attempt?

Lincoln – Lucy didn't think I would choose her instead of… my family, so she was alone with no one to turn and ask for help, she went to a place she used to go when she wanted to be alone; a place only I knew about, when I found her she had a knife in her wrist; fortunately, I took it away before she moved it.

Inspector – I see… well that's all, thank you for your time and thanks for answering instead of your wife

Lincoln – Will that report have…

Inspector – Don't worry, the circumstances were written and it's not that uncommon parents in the verge of suicide thanks of… little accidents, the issue will be properly reported

Lincoln – Okay…

The inspector gets out of the house while Lincoln goes to tell his family the interview is over

Latter at the diner table

Lindsey – How was the interview dad?

Lincoln – Tiring, I don't know why we have to answer those things by surprise

Liberty – I agree! If we knew we could have prepared mom to not scare that guy?

Lucy – I didn't want to

Liberty – You did! And he didn't get you were answering his questions

Lindsey – He just couldn't get mom

Liberty – That's what I'm saying! All he did was asking a lot of "What ifs" but mom doesn't react to anything!

Lincoln – Lucy… did you remember to breath?

Lucy – I did… Liberty interfering helped me take it easy between questions, that way I didn't have to say anything I didn't want to

Liberty – Mom! You didn't say a single word!

Lindsey – Better be the owner of your silence than slave of your words

Liberty – This is not the time Lindsey! That guy will think mom is crazy!

Lincoln – Come on girls, I know we all are a little mad for that guy coming here, but we should let it slide for now and hope for the best, what do you say?

Lucy – The bigger the hope, the harder the fall when it's shattered… I agree

Liberty – Time for me to see Lindsey's non-depressing books

Lindsey – Wait! Don't look at my princess pony books! The last time you threw up at them!

Liberty – I didn't mean those, hey! Don't push me!

Lincoln – At least they finished their diner

Lucy – They are more like you than me, if it weren't because I carried each one nine months in my belly I would ask you if they are mine

Lincoln – Lindsey is also a little like you, she just doesn't like dark stuff

Lucy – …

Lincoln – So… he asked you something to make you anxious?

Lucy – If I had a trouble with a loved person what would I do… that was the question

Lincoln – I see… sorry

Lucy – Don't be, it's not your fault

Lincoln – Neither yours,

Lucy – Talking about… us, did he suspect anything?

Lincoln – He somehow knew you tried to end your own life so he asked me… outside that; he never showed anything that would… compromise us

Lucy – Do you think they won't find out?

Lincoln – They would need to take some blood samples and do a specialized study to find out and no one do that just for routine.

Lucy – I see, but I can't shake this bad feeling

Lincoln (embracing Lucy) – Lucy, even if they found out of that, even if that would mean hell for us again, I won't leave your side; ever

Lucy (smiling) – You love to remind me why I fell in love with you, isn't it?

Lincoln – You either

Lucy – I'll go to prepare our room for when the girls go to sleep, could you help me with the dishes?

Lincoln – Of course dear
