Frankie held Leanna's hand as they came to the front of the Plantation Manor. It had been well over a year since anyone in their group had even thought about coming here in the first place, and he was more than a bit worried when she had asked him to come with her there. The purple haired teen squeezed her hand a little tighter and looked down at her carefully. "Are you sure you wanna do this?" he asked her.

Cross looked up at him and smiled slightly. "My memories of this place are hardly the worst... I'm sure." she replied. The last time she'd been here she'd fought Hana... a girl who at one point she would have protected. As psychotic as Hana was... she wasn't always bad. Cross just thought she needed someone to guide her properly. Obviously that was a ridiculous thought. Her empty hand absentmindedly drifted to the spot where she still had the scar from the knife in her side that day.

Frankie frowned just slightly, but picked it up a little and nodded. "Alright, if you're sure." It wasn't like he could really argue with her if he wanted to, his girlfriend nearly always got what she wanted. With that thought in mind he walked with her to the entrance of the manor, glancing at Leanna to make sure she was still alright, he could still be worried, couldn't he?

Cross simply nodded and reached for the doorknob. She'd been in this house so many times before it was turned into the psycho family nest, with her best friend being held captive. She remembered during the fight that things were changed in the half of the house Archer had control over, so she was a little curious to what changes he'd done over all. Plus, she had to come back... nobody else could, not Keisko and especially not Hotaru. It was Cross's job both as a Kuma and as their friend to put things to rest. She wanted to see the place before they demolished it and rebuilt it, per her request and payment.

Frankie looked around at the Manor. He had never actually been inside before and his curiosity for it had only grown after the events that had happened. It looked exactly how he had pictured it for the most part, big, fancy, the works.
"So... where to first?" he asked her, looking down to see what Leanna could possibly feeling right about then.

Cross nodded towards the huge wall that separated the two sides of the house. "The other side, that's the side that they lived in and kept Hotaru hostage. I'm curious to what was left behind... as far as the staff here have told me over the phone, they haven't been over there since they sold that side, it's condemned basically." she explained, heading for the door. The staff also had it unlocked for her before they arrived.

Frankie nodded, following her to the other side of the building. He was a bit nervous to see what would be in the other side, there was just no telling from how these people sounded.

Cross opened the door to the condemned half of the house and froze. This door opened up to the living room. She slowly made her way around the room and choked up a bit. The blood had stained the floor where Hana died and there were dark spots of her own blood on the couch. "Mikka and I killed her... right here." she whispered as she stared at the spot. She wasn't sure what happened to Hana's body though, most likely Archer came back for it.

Frankie's eyes widen at the site of the blood stained floor, and immediately put an arm around Leanna and pulled her closer to him. All of this, she had been part of this. He knew she was a grown woman and could take care of herself, but it was Frankie's job to protect her from this sort of stuff. "Let's move on..." he said quietly to her, keeping his arm secured around her.

Cross nodded and allowed him to pull her away. She'd never really told him about everything she'd gone through with Hana... he only knew she'd helped kill her with Mikka. It had to be done. Hana would still be killing now if they hadn't. She vowed to tell him everything about Hana one day.
They made their way into the kitchen where Cross's eyes were immediately drawn to a chunk of red hair. She quickly made her way to the chunk and saw the trash can full of it. Her eyes widened. "Do you think she did this to herself or did they do it to her?" She asked, looking down at the hair. She remember Hotaru had come out of the house with her hair all sorts of messed up, but she never thought about it, there was too much else to worry about.

Frankie saw the pile of hair and shrugged a little at her. "Depends on how her mental state was, I guess. From the way it sounded and how those three were described though I don't see why they would have done that to her, you know?" Wasn't she suppose to be like the 'mom' or something like that? Their goal would have been to make her WANT to stay, doing something like that wouldn't have been a very good way of going about that, even for a bunch of psychopaths.

Cross closed the lid on the trash can and nodded. "Yea... she was in a really bad state when we found her, she must have done it to herself." she muttered. She hated this place and already wanted to leave. She was ready to call the demolition crews and have them get rid of this place as soon as possible. She sighed and leaned against the sink. "This place is worse than the cemetery." she grumbled.

Frankie walked over to her and frowned a little again. "If it's too much for you, we can leave." He honestly wanted to see what else was around here, from what he over heard the redhead's memories about this place were repressed(and with good reason). Maybe if they dug around here a little more they could find out for themselves, not that they would like what they found chances were, but he still couldn't help his curiosity...

Cross sighed and shook her head. "No, I have to do this. This is our one and only chance to do this and we can't waste it. There's too much to we don't know and maybe we'll find something by going through this place..." she responded unenthusiastic. It didn't mean she had to be thrilled about it all.

Frankie nodded. "Alright, then let's get moving." he decided to look around the kitchen a little more, maybe there was something else? He looked through the different cabinets and finally came across the pantry. When he looked inside he furrowed his brows a little. "Hey, Lele, come check this out." There was a freezer inside the pantry, how weird was that? "I don't think most pantries hold freezers this big in them, what do you think?"
