Untitled still, pt. 7
After she had driven for awhile, Tessa stopped to phone Rachel. After only one ring, she picked up and said, “Tessa, you have no idea how great it is to see your name on the caller ID. What’s up?” Tessa laughed at her friend’s excitement. She said, “Well, I’ll be in town in a few hours.” “Oh, Tess, did it not work out? I told you it was a risk.” “Rachel, nothing’s wrong. I’m working on a case, and there’s someone in our town that I need to talk to.” “Oh,” said Rachel. She sounded relieved, yet sad at the same time. “Well, if you need a place to stay…” “Thanks, Rach. I’m actually not really supposed to be coming to interrogate this guy.” “What do you mean, Tess?” asked Rachel with a warning tone. “I kind of told them that I was visiting an aunt.” Rachel was silent for a minute, then said, “But, Tessa, you don’t have an aunt. Your mom was an only child.” “Yeah, well, they don’t know that, and you’d better not go telling them. They already think I’m going to fail as it is.” “Ah, the whole analyzing thing didn’t go over too smoothly, huh?” “Let’s just say, they were somewhat reluctant to take me on.” “Uh-huh,” said Rachel. “And so, what exactly are you going to do on this little vacation you’re taking?” “Well,” Tessa said, “I found a guy who’s related to a murder victim, and I need to ask him some things about her.” “So, they put you on a murder case. I thought you said they were reluctant.” “They wanted me to work on it before I explained the whole analyzing thing. Then, they wanted me to leave, but I told them to give me a chance. Now, I’m on thin ice already, I don’t need anymore trouble with them, so I’m going to handle this on my own.” “Whatever you say, I just hope you know what you’re doing. See you when you get here.” “Bye, Rachel,” said Tessa. She hung up the phone and said to herself, “I hope I know what I’m doing, too.”
And, sorry it took so long to post. I didn't realize so much time had passed. I've been racing through Ivanhoe, but I'm now thinking more clearly with the new Book 6 in my possession!

Welcome "back"! Don't put the story ahead of your Ivanhoe paper, though. :-)
Hey, at least I'm done! Haha! Read!
HAHAHA, I laugh at all you who have to still read school novels :P Lucky thing though, they tend to get better as you go along, at least if you have a taste for French unabridged literature... Which, somehow, I doubt. And Book 6... :D YAY!
I'm actually looking forward to Les Mis, but we have already established that I'm weird.
