The Boy At The House (17)

Daniel approaches the stairs. But wait a sec? Isn't that snoring he's hearing? Yes, it is. He slowly sneaks down the creaking glossy-painted wooden stairs. Gina comes after him. Once down in the hallway they sneak towards where the snoring comes from - the big room. When they peek into the big room they immediately spot him. He is lying on his back in a brown couch and is sleeping. Daniel and Gina relax somewhat and look at each other, and then go a little closer to look at the figure in the couch. It is a big man, wearing carpenter trousers and a dirty white T-shirt with holes in it. A large portion of the face is covered with a grey-streaked beard stubble. At his side on the floor there is an empty liquor bottle. The room is messy and there are newspapers, beer cans, dirty plates, glasses and cuttlery on the sofa table and on the floor.
"Okay?" says Gina and smiles.
"Yeah", says Daniel.
