either way, MC needs to start really using his brain and find an answer to these 2 being in the house. he needs to remove them from the equation, which means he needs to get help from somewhere. maybe he could find a way to get the journal info to ophelia, he might even have to use help from less than desirable people, as i said before(kevin, i.e.). maybe even employ underhanded methods, like some kind of drugs like hunter used in the shampoo, or similar. if he doesn't start paying better attention, they will run him over. of course, he has 2 sisters that can really do alot of physical damage, and if he was smart, he would let them know, in order to protect their mother from the danger that hunter and drew are, without her or the others knowing. there are several ways to save his family from these 2 dogs.
