Keaton nodded and then realized she couldn't see him.

Keaton: Yes.

Devon: I ... I'm sorry about your brother Keaton.

Keaton didn't want to reply, he started to feel bad again. After a moment, he replied quietly.

Keaton: Someone killed him. We don't know who though. A bunch left camp about the same day too.

He let out a sigh.

Devon takes a deep breath

Devon: He's really dead ...?

Tristan: Devon! No! I left camp.

Devon: Wait ... you're not in camp anymore. If I come back you won't be there?

Devon: YOU FUCKING PROMISED YOU'D ALWAYS BE THERE!

Keaton: Sean's dead.

Keaton gritted his teeth as he waits for a reply.

Devon gasps and quickly covers her mouth to stop the sudden sob that almost escapes her mouth.

Devon: What?!

Devon: What happened!

Tristan: San Fransisco.....

Devon: Umm, okay. Do you have family there or something?

Devon: OH! DID YOU FINALLY GET A QUEST?!

Devon: What's it like?

Devon: Don't do anything stupid so you can tell me all the stories when you get back to camp!

Keaton walks out of the rec room before answering the phone. For a moment all you could hear was the sound of his breathing.

Keaton: Are you sitting down?

Devon rolls her eyes at her phone and leans against the counter in her kitchen.

Devon: Would you just fucking spit it out.

Tristan: I'm from Arizona....

Tristan: I'm not even in Arizona.

Devon: Alright. Now you're fucking confusing me.

Devon: Yes, I know you're from Arizona, but that doesn't mean you can't visit. We could go to Disney Land or something.

Devon: Secondly ... if you're not home where the hell are you.

Keaton: I don't want to do this over text. Call me.

Devon: I'm watching a movie with my family. Hold on a second, I'll go into the other room.

Devon walks into the next room and then presses the button to call him and waits for him to answer.

Keaton: Did no one tell you about what happened at camp a month ago?

Devon: No.

Devon: Gods Keaton, just tell me!

[be--the--rainbow-blog]

Tristan: I'm not at camp.

Devon: Then you're home. You can come visit me.

[be--the--rainbow-blog]

Tristan: You can go back to camp but I won't be there Dev....

Tristan: I took a chance.

Devon: What ...

[be--the--rainbow-blog]

Keaton: No I'm confused on why you asked me about why camp isn't the best place to be right now.

Keaton: Do you know what happened?

Devon: Alright.

Devon: Now I'm confused. What the hell is going on?

[be--the--rainbow-blog]

Keaton: What? What do you mean?

Devon: Are you confused about the tongue thing? Cause I thought that was pretty self explanatory.

Keaton is sitting in the rec room watching TV also when he gets the tet from Devon.

Keaton: When you convince your parents to be here year round. It's not the best time to come back anyway.

Devon: I'm sticking my tongue out at you

Devon: Through the phone.

Devon: But it should have the same effect.

Devon: What are you talking about?

[be--the--rainbow-blog]

Tristan: I don't have any time right now. I've been training.

Devon: Well then take a break Tristan. You never used to be that into training.

[be--the--rainbow-blog]

Tristan: Sounds like fun kid.

Tristan: You should stay away for a bit though at least....

Devon: I was actually thinking about making a visit.

[be--the--rainbow-blog]

Tristan: Nothing to do. You'd be bored as hell. I'm bored as hell.

Devon: Well if I came back at least we could do something together. We could play video games or swim or play.
