However, as the morning light began to brighten the room and I fell back into a deep sleep, something felt very funny to me. It was such a feeling that I only slept for about a half an hour before I jumped up, got dressed again and ran upstairs to Julian's bedroom. I knocked on the door and opened it slowly. I looked at his bed, which hadn't even been slept in. I went in his closet and looked for his suitcase, but it wasn't there.

Feeling quite confused, I shut the door and ran down stairs to the parlor where Michael sat reading the newspaper. He looked at me as I stood in front of him, in my nightgown, and he folded the paper on his lap.

"What can I do for you this fine morning?" He asked and put up a finger before I could answer. "Wait, let me guess. Aliens took your clothes and left you with this sexy little thing and you're wondering where Edith is with the laundry?"

"No," I said and watched him think again.

"You used all of your good clothes to make a bonfire last night and this was the only thing that you saved?" He asked again. I shook my head. "You're auditioning for a sex scene in a porno movie?"

"You're just disgusting," I told him. "Look, is Julian here? I mean, where is he hiding? I know I saw him last night."

"You're hallucinating, love. Julian won't be back until tonight around eleven," Michael said and smiled.

"But, he just spent the night in my room," I told him and pointed to the stairway.

"Did you get his envelope?" Michael asked. I nodded. "So what was in it?"

"Just some cash if I wanted to buy some things," I said and wrapped my arms around myself. "Are you sure he's not home?" Michael nodded.

I walked back upstairs and got dressed for the day. Things were starting to become weird. When I walked down into the sitting room and looked up everyone seemed to be there, except Julian. Quinn and Lauren were talking, she waved at me, but he didn't even look up. Michael was still reading his newspaper and David was staring at me.

"I'm going to town, does anyone want anything?" I asked. Everyone shook his or her heads and I looked at David, and then gestured to the outside. "Well, good-bye then. I'll be home later."

I stood by my car, in the coolness of the garage and waited for David to walk out. He did so, inconspicuously, and then walked over to me. He put his hands in his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper, then put it in my hand.

"Tonight, at 10:00 p.m., meet me here and I'll take you to where Jack wants to meet you," David said and looked me in the eyes. I stared back at him hard and nodded. "Come alone, bring none of the others with you and tell none of them where you are going."

With that, he turned and walked away from me.
