.. Bev was waving at me, motioning me to the back ... we had a little pow-wow at the fence, to talk for the first time about the next morning. Bev sai... "I guess we're all set, Carly is coming over to spend the night ... and we'll be ready to take the walk with you tomorrow morning, just before 9am, right... ?" I said, "what do you think all this is about... ? Bev responded with "Mary said she wants to check out the girls from our clique at school, see what we are doing with boys, talk about. The huge house seemed empty and forlorn without its master. Once Mrs. Coats and Rosie left in the evening it was left locked and deserted. Brooding over her tiny home… ironically a bit like how Daniel seemed to brood over her! She saved her visit to Mrs. Coats and Rosie until last on Thursday morning. ‘I’m all done for this week.’ She told Mrs Coats with a grin. ‘So once I’ve finished Daniel’s paperwork, I can stop for a natter… if you’ve got the time to spare?’ ‘Indeed we have Miss Izzy,’. " He said with a grin on his face."Well what exactly is this surprise?" I asked."I'd rather show you, but first put on this blindfold." Jim said handing me a blue blindfold."I don't know, I should probably be getting home." I said unsure whether to go with him or not."Oh it wont take that long trust me." Jim said with a smirk."Uhhhhhh ... What the hell, give me the blindfold." I said giving in. I grabbed his blindfold and put it on."I promise you wont be disappointed." Jim said as he put his. If it was sound it would provide a safe base to operate from. I led the way down into the bushes and trees while keeping my eyes open. We went a block to a building that was six stories tall. It was one of the buildings that spanned the river and had a ceramic matrix like my building.I checked the ramp that led to the upper floors and stopped on the one below the top. I moved out and had them wait as I searched the thick moss covered empty floor. Like my building the walls were long gone but.
