Julia finished the preparations and decided to see if Alex and Alyssa wanted
to join them so went in search of them, calling out to each in her usual
manner "Yoo hooo, you hiding peeps, come out, come out whereever you are!"
She came across Alex first then frowned a little, even as she grinned
curiously and looked around "Where's Alyssa?"
Just then she heard muted talking in an office and a couple of phrases
drifted out "How do we know she's really Julia Walker...?" "Noone's verfied
anything..."
She raised an eyebrow and looked at her friend before shrugging and turning
back to the topic of the missing girl "Alyssa go with Derek or something?"
"She was in the room with you guys the time I saw her, isn't she still
there," Alex asked frowning. She had a slight moment of panic. Oh God,
what if she'd lost Derek's daughter!
