Whatever Happens

Setting about making dinner, the group sent the housekeeper off to her quarters. Normally, they would allow her to prepare the meal, but having something to occupy their minds would prove useful.

Seeing his wife deep in thought, Michael inquired in German, “So, what did you find out?”

Quietly, she replied in kind, “I got ahold of Jim. He’s going to track down what became of the other girl’s body. The one they buried in my place.”

Crinkling his nose as he listened to them, Cody asked in an irritated tone, “Why do you two do that? You always break off into some other language. Don’t you think that’s rude, when all of us wanna know what’s going on?”

Tori cut her eyes over at her husband before she met the gaze of her accuser. She could tell he felt the stress of the situation, and felt a bit guilty that they had shut the group out by the alternate tongue. She repeated what she had learned in English, causing Cody’s eyes to grow wide.

“Just like that, you called the FBI. Like it was no big deal.” His mouth hung open slightly, obviously shocked at what she had been up to.

“Sorry. It’s been a part of my life for so long, I really didn’t give it much thought.” Giving him a small grin, she recalled that there were still parts to her story she had not shared with them, and hoped she would never have to.

Sitting down to the meal, the group ate in relative silence. The food only half eaten, Mark Holt walked into the room, looking haggard. “Ok, what the hell is going on?” he wasted no time in getting to the point.

Not knowing what had been said to him, Tori could not fault the man for using what Collin had shared out of context. Giving him a nod, she indicated the empty seat at the table. Cleaning her fingers on her napkin, she started things off calmly, “What exactly has been put out, you know, into the public forum?”

He stared at her, ill at ease as he had been informed this had been a story that should never have been shared. Shifting into his chair, he spoke quietly, “Well, I told the crew for the show that you had been discovered, after having been believed to be dead for about twenty years.”

Swallowing noticeably, he went on, “And, I told them you had been raised by men, so you weren’t really what you might call a ‘girly-girl.’” He gave her a weak grin, deciding to do some repair work on their relationship.

“Look, Tori; I realize you’re a really smart girl. I’ve been thinking about what you did with the guitars, and it was a pretty neat trick. I guess I must have come across as a real asshole, and needed a quick lesson on manners. And, I didn’t really understand anything about you, but I think I’m beginning to.”

He stared at her, pausing for her to respond. She only blinked at him, so he continued, “Anyways, I really want things to go well for you and the rest of the guys.
