Parsons, I returned to my bedroom and started putting my clothes away. The very first thing I did was gather up all of my old clothes and put them bac... in the garbage bag that I had brought with me. I hoped that I'd be able to send them back to the orphanage so that some other boys could get some use out of them. If not, I was sure that Mr. Chalmers would know what I should do with them.I was halfway done going through the boxes and putting my clothes away when Bea came into my room. Once. "What?" He looked over at her."You are in a big hurry, Charlie. Gotta remember that I can't walk as fast as you. I love your long legs but you've got to realize that mine are not even half as long. I have to take three steps for your one." Are you complaining?" Nope. Just telling you how it is." She smiled as she teased him."Anyone ever tell you that you were trouble?" Never," she replied, straight-faced."Brat." He entered a faded building and returned with what she assumed was a zephti. It was. "It was more than vampires," Father Augustine said. "Someone used a long blade. Look at some of those bodies. Damien would have a machete with him, but I doubt he could do that much damage with one."Faust nodded. "Curious. Many dead. They killed the guests, the staff, and the security guards."The images flickered, Lynette scrolling through the cameras at a spacious mansion decorated with works of classic art and antique furniture. Every shot had more dead in it. Father Augustine estimated fifty. "Barbara, Sheila, we're going over to rest behind that boulder smack inthe middle of the piste right over there!" I pointed with my ski stick."We'll begin by contouring and then side-slip down to it! Stay close andcopy me all the time. Don't let your skis go too fast - tight control atall times!" I coached them from one rest position to the next as wedescended slowly under control. I was always scanning to avoid the worstice, and looking for patches where some sunshine might have softened.
