... of Olympus. She slowly stepped through the shooting lanes eyeing the structure of the range.

Something yellow caught her eye at the last target lane, so she cautiously approached. It was a piece of folded yellow paper stuck in the slats of a lane bench: she examined it closely before touching it. Agatha didn't see anything dangerous, so she picked it up and opened it.

The Smith family was exhausted by the stress as the morning crawled by. Howard went to the kitchen to prepare a large pot of tea. Mercedes needed a break from the holonet as well and Joon took her upstairs to the bedroom.

Max and both Agathas went into the kitchen after Howard.

Mercedes washed her face in the master bathroom then sat down at her vanity, seeing the stress of the morning on her own face.
