Julia went upstairs to the Control Room as Dominic carried
the food and drinks up to the television room as well as her message about being
there after speaking with the others.
She entered the Control Room in a matter of minutes and
greeted them, seeing their troubled expressions "Okay.. I thought I had some
news but seems you already have it. Who's first to give it to
me?"
She looked at Derek who was still prowling, Rachel who
looked like it wasn't her place to say and Alex.
"One sec." she told Alex, knowing her best friend would
tell her.
But she went over to Derek and, Julia being Julia and
probably the only one to try to even pull it off, pulled out a chair and got the
Precept by the shoulders and spoke to him "Derek, you're driving me nuts and I
just got here."
Then she sat him down and turned to Alex "Okay, hit me
with it. What's got Derek so shell shocked that he didn't even have a good
come back to me bossing him around."
"I have one." Derek said, giving her a dry look as he
stood "But it will have to be delivered later."
"Oh, good to hear." Julia replied and waited, sitting on
the edge of a desk and crossing her legs Indian style as she waited for one of
them to explain what was going on.
Derek did, at least this time not pacing and Julia looked
at Alex "I'm sure Philip checked into the hospital and police station aspects so
he'll know about the missing persons reports filed. What about clubs they
were a part of? Long shot but maybe the mother's hanging out with some friends
or maybe she's even as wigged as we are trying to find her daughter. Check
on missing reports for anyone fitting Alyssa's description."
Then she delivered her part of the news and watched
Rachel's expression as well as Alex's, this being the first time for either of
them to find out about the Soulchaser, the Hunter or Jimmy's
escape.
