The Anderson East Estates is an apartment complex in Chicago, Illinois where Callie, Trevor, and Phoebe lived at until the summer of 2021.

History

In the summer of 2021, one morning, Trevor tried to eat breakfast and watch a car video on his camera phone while Callie gave him a hair cut in their apartment. Trevor was annoyed but Callie claimed she was almost done and mockingly adored his mustache. He disliked her teasing. The power in the apartment hummed and caused Callie to become distracted. She inadvertently tagged Trevor's right ear with the electric shaver. He recoiled and touched his ear. He was not pleased to discover that he was bleeding. Callie told him he would live, then went to check on Phoebe.

Callie found Phoebe crouched down near a big hole where an electrical outlet used to be. Phoebe announced she tied it the neighbor's electricity and brought theirs up to 220. The bright light of Phoebe's head lamp blinded Callie. She turned away with her hands out and told her turn it off. Phoebe declared she could run her lath. Callie asked her why she did not think to ask her. Phoebe pointed out her ineptitude for science. Callie noticed her hair drier on a pile. Phoebe brought up she was better at other things like quesadillas. Callie thanked her for the reassurance. After there was a knock at the front door, Trevor called out to Callie. She was annoyed he just sat in his seat. Trevor reminded her he was not an adult. Callie opened the door and learned from the landlord they were evicted. Callie assured him she was literally going to pick up a check. He asked her is she won the lottery. She replied did kind of and revealed her father died. He reacted to the bad news naturally. She told him to relax and stated she did not even know him and was surprised he left her anything. He thought that sounded like his father. She asked him if his father abandoned his family and moved to a farm in the middle of nowhere. He replied his father did not. Callie admitted she was not a reliable or consistent tenant in the past then asked him for a week to settle some loose ends and she would return with everything she owed. The power went out and there was a loud sound. He tried to look inside the apartment. Phoebe shouted she could fix that. The landlord stated that he would wait for her to leave, then he would change the locks. He posted the eviction notice on the front door and left. Callie took it off and closed the door.
