We arrived at the grade-six door before Kirsten. Carol hawked and spat when he saw me, but it wasn't in my direction, so I ignored him. I had just fin...ished telling Sean why I was moving so stiffly when Kirsten slipped around me and gave me a hug. I returned it and added a brief kiss. "I have great news!" she said with a huge smile."Tell me." Dad has given in. I can start seeing you again outside of school." That's wonderful!" And it was worth another hug and kiss."Get a room," Carol. Sliding a second one through each he pulled her hands behind her and attached the second one to her opposing ankle from behind."Those aren't as good as the ones your Bobbies use but they'll do the trick. I don't wish to harm ya. You're not the one I'm after. Is he in there? Is she with him? Just nod, no talking, no screaming. He couldn't hear ya anyway, remember? His office is sound proofed. Now, is she in there?"The pretty, young secretary nodded. She nodded to each of his other questions. At present, they looked a little less alike than they sometimes did. Mostly because Cindy's hair, as ever, was a dirty blonde, while Iva's, at the moment, was bright platinum. She generally wore it as either deep gold or a dirty blonde not unlike her sister's. Had they bothered with mortal disguises, they would have been old women. Cindy was about the same age as Mom. Iva was a good deal younger, but she still should have been well into her fifties. But all I saw was two supernatural beauties. Once they were both dressed and back in the kitchen, Lynn set the table as Kerry put the finishing touches on dinner. As Kerry sat down, she reached across the table affectionately to squeeze Lynn's hand, then asked, "What got you in such a frisky mood today?" I had an interesting conversation at the hospital today," Lynn replied. "Do you know Michelle Leeson? Her husband's a Major in third squadron." I think I've met her," said Kerry. "She's trying to get pregnant, isn't she?" Right," said.
