Grace had now definately lost all track of the conversation, but Robbie seemed to have been expecting whoever this was...
She would have liked to force her authority into this, but she reminded herself that if this guy was all that was keeping this house standing, and they were still below water level. And if this guy was only interested in the newcomer then what interest would he have in keeping her and Silvia alive.
She chose the next best option (in her opinion) and edged silently towards Silvia, attempted to make eye contact and with clever use of eyebrows, tried to urge her towards her.
