Max drew back the heavy gray curtains, and Kate was already knocking on the door.A new day feels good, as long as you don't watch Barry look stupid.Max rolled his eyes and tried to look serious, "Listen boy, if you do something to my baby, I'll do something to your baby. So now, put it down The thing in your hand, go and open the door."

Max raised his eyebrows, and Barry felt that she was full of Queen's aura. As the poor little thing picked up by His Majesty, he had no choice but to let go of his thoughts of throwing away the big/hemp, and honestly went to open the door.Hey Barry!What a good boy, he felt that this was the only sentence Max could have in his head now.

"Good morning, Mrs Coleman."

"Good morning, Alan." Kate looked a little tired, and Barry thought it might have something to do with Esther, but he couldn't be sure.Kate tried her best to keep her spirits up. She looked out the window and said, "The rain is about to stop, but the weather forecast says there will be a tornado. Is time tight? It may be dangerous to go out now. I think you should stay for a few days."

Barry nodded, "That's a good idea, but it's too much trouble for you. When will the tornado be? I knew the road trip in the eastern United States would not be very pleasant." He sighed and glanced at Max in the room. Lorraine called, but he felt that the daily life of a good girlfriend should not be like this, a little too intimate, like... like Les.Well, why bother, it doesn't even matter if it's Les, at least for him.

"Alan, Alan?" Kate's voice interrupted his thoughts, Barry looked at her a little confused, Kate didn't care about this small insertion, she seemed very tolerant, and her tone was even kind, "It's okay , don’t be too nervous. Life has to go through once, and John and I did the same. Oh, getting married, having children, you know, time flies.” Kate patted him on the shoulder, “I’ve prepared breakfast , sandwiches and green salad, do you and Max need milk?"

"Of course, thank you."

Kate smiled and was about to talk about something more, but the sound of the piano downstairs made her look cold, "I'll wait for you downstairs, okay?"

"Yes, Mrs Coleman."

"You look like a good match, remember to say good morning to Max for me."

"Thank you and I hope you are well."

Kate walked quickly, her steps were a little messy, maybe because her mind was messed up right now, but why?Has she noticed something already?Barry found himself always paying attention to these small details subconsciously. It was very strange. Could it be related to his previous occupation?Maybe he was a detective, he thought?Subtle observation ability and quick reflexes, just like Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes, that would be cool if that's the case.

Barry closed the door, and Max was still on the phone with Caroline. She glanced at Barry, who was changing clothes and combing her hair neatly. Caroline seemed to be screaming, and Max tried to appease him, but it was useless.

"There's no danger, Caroline. Stop your wild fantasies, can you stop discussing this thing... No, there's nowhere. Well, I'm lying to you. Go to the carpet by the door... What? You turn it over? You know, the cops turn it over, you pry that board off. Yeah, okay. Barry? He's all right, that's not...I hang up."

"there is nothing?"

"Make/love." Max said calmly.

"Wait Max, maybe you can say this word tactfully, can't you?" Barry pretended to be calm, but the reddish ear tips betrayed him, and he was not quite used to Max's straightforward words.

Max tilted his head in thought, then said, "Everyone is an adult."

"But..." Barry couldn't think of other words to refute her for a while, so he had to give up. He comforted himself that Max's character has always been like this, "Mrs. Coleman said that there are tornadoes these days, and we will stay for a few more days , then things will be easier. Did Max tell you the address of the tree house?"

"It's too blunt to change the subject. Which university did you say you graduated from?" Max pinched his face, "Max sent me the key and told me the address of the tree house. Everything went well, but Barry, this Too strange."

"You think Esther is setting us up?" Barry was puzzled, "but why did Max help her?"

"Who knows what a little girl is thinking, I'm not God." Max sneered, she put on lipstick in front of the mirror, and said casually, "Max said that she was by the side when Esther killed Abigail, that's the one A black nun. Max helped her pass the message and conceal the truth, and we are just two outsiders passing by, why did she come to tell us?"

"Then what do you mean..."

"So," Max hooked Barry's collar and went out, "I really want to see it."

Barry was surprised by Max's unreliability, but it seemed reasonable.He let her pull him downstairs, Kate was arranging Max's collar, the piano was still playing, the player was Esther, and Kate's husband and son should be sitting at the table .

Kate's face was still not very good, but she still forced a smile, "This is my daughter Max, and at the dining table are my husband John and son Daniel. John, this is Mr. Barry Allen and his fiancee Mike Miss Sblack, as I said yesterday, you ought to know."

"Hello," John said, shaking Barry's hand, looking like a kind man.He didn't have much contact with Kate when he walked over. They seemed to have just had a quarrel, and the corners of Kate's eyes were a little red.

"Hello, Mr. Coleman." "Hello."

Esther stopped playing the piano after they said hello to each other and had breakfast with them. Barry noticed that she paid great attention to John, but she was disdainful and contemptuous of Kate. Although she concealed it well, he could see it clearly. It seems that all the small details are infinitely magnified and slowed down, and he can see many things clearly.

The atmosphere of the breakfast was not very good, and Max ate very contentedly as if he didn't feel it.Max would look at her from time to time, but Max didn't respond, which made Max a little puzzled.The little girl couldn't control her emotions. She looked at Esther again. Esther had just finished praying and didn't want to talk to her.Max lowered his head and smiled, confirming his previous guess.

After dinner, John took Esther to the dentist, Daniel was asked out by his classmates, and there were only Max and Kate at home.After Kate goes to do the dishes, Max tells them it's a good chance they should check out the treehouse.Max didn't say anything, but went upstairs after Kate arrived.

Max followed them upstairs and stood by the door, signing in sign language, 'She doesn't know about this, do you doubt me? '

'Indeed, you know, there is a better way of doing this. '

'I don't understand what you said later, but you have to believe me, don't tell mom, no one will believe that Esther killed someone, she even fooled the psychiatrist.They'll say Mom is crazy, and if Esther finds out, she'll kill us.That's what she did to her last adoptive family. 'Max was in a hurry, but Max still acted so relaxed.

'I'll take care of this, now, go and play by yourself, okay? '

'no!she will be back!It will be too late to continue. ' Max held Max's hand that closed the door.

Max froze for a moment, she subconsciously looked at Barry, then knelt down and rubbed Max's hair.The little girl's mood is very wrong, maybe her guess is wrong.It doesn't matter if it's right, things always have to work out.

'I'm going to see your mother, it's all right Max, it's all right, trust me to fix it please? 'Max stabilized Max's emotions, and shouted back, "Barry, let's go see Kate."

"Now? Didn't you say..."

"Hurry up? Boy." Max held the little girl's hand and stood up, "No one is an idiot, Kate already has doubts about Esther, except for Mr. Coleman, who thinks Esther is normal Yes, a dentist?"

"Ok."

Barry followed Max downstairs, and many times he obeyed her words, and Barry didn't know why.He guessed it was because Max was too strong, or a little perverted, he lacked maternal love.He likes Max's sharp mouth and tofu heart, and he can feel that Max cares about him. Whenever he looks at her, Barry will have a very strange emotion in his heart.From the first time I saw her, this emotion was slowly increasing.

Is this a good sign?Barry wasn't sure.

But all in all, amnesia is not a good thing, and he needs to restore his memory as soon as possible.Max's mother is a key figure, and he has to see her quickly after finishing the matter at hand.

"Barry?"

"coming."
