Excerpt from: Trouble in the Future
“Yes,” Sara said.
“Let's not waste time,” Sally said.
However, on Mid Beta they found Kristia waiting for them. “So, you've mobilised some Austin residents against me, Sara Laws? How did I know that you were behind this incursion?”
“Kristia,” Sara said.
“What does that mean?” Sally asked.
“We're helping her,” Cath said.
“Incursion?” Tasha asked.
“None of your business.” Kristia said.
“Out of our way!” Sara said.
Cath could see that the two presidents were giving off hostility (although more was emanating from Kristia than from Sara). “What's the problem?” she asked.
“Problem? You don't need to know what the problem is. Just that there is one!” Kristia projected.
'There is certainly a problem,' Cath thought.
“Sara says that someone may be in danger!” Sally said.
“You may be in danger in a minute!” Kristia said to Sara.
“Listen to Sally, Kristia!” Sara said.
“So, you say that someone is in trouble?” Kristia asked.
“A resident of neither of our colleges. She's in this college right now!” Sara explained.
Kristia sighed. “Which other college?”
Excerpt from: Mysteries of Aurora
“What kind of games?”
“Mostly RPGs, real time strategy and platformers.”
“That’s a variety,” Olivia commented.
“It’s what I’m interested in.”
Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
“That’s good.”
Daria then went to get afternoon snacks, and to wait for Ted and the latest senior to arrive.
After the mentoring session, SpiderGirl swung away from the school, heading towards Dega Street, which was where most of the crime occurred in the afternoon. She stopped a couple of muggings, then noticed the Enigma standing on the top of the Historia in the distance. ‘I don’t want a confrontation, she thought yet again, especially today!’ She thought as she swung down to ground level.
At the same time, the Enigma spotted SpiderGirl. ‘But is it a good idea to confront her in the broad daylight of the afternoon?’ She focused, and sensed that Daria wasn’t on the stairs. ‘Still down in the café,’ she thought as she threw a rope and used her telekinesis to jump to the next building.
Again, SpiderGirl avoided confrontation with the Enigma, by keeping low. She quickly arrived at the Historia and entered by the back door, and changing to the ordinary Quinn in a changing room. ‘That was close,’ she thought.
The Enigma saw that SpiderGirl had disappeared again. ‘She has hidden as her secret identity again. I think she was near the Historia, but that doesn’t mean that’s where she went.’ But she couldn’t rule it out, so she went back and changed to the usual Sandi on the roof.
“So, what is this poem?” Harry asked Daria, as he saw Sandi enter the café.
“Something Shakespearean put together by some stalker,” Daria responded.
“Is that it?” he asked, as he pointed at something she was carrying.
“Yes,I suppose you are familiar with Shakespeare?”
“I was at a private school in New York. Of course I’m familiar with Shakespeare.”
“Right,” Daria responded and handed him the letter.
Daria watched as Harry read the letter.
“Huge influence from Sonnet 116, even if it doesn’t strictly adhere to the sonnet structure.”
“Others have said the same, regarding Sonnet 116.”
“Any idea who wrote it?” Harry asked.
“No idea,” Daria responded. “Another mystery on top of everything else. I just wanted to survive Quinn’s party today.”
“Don’t like parties?”
“I’m sure you have heard of my reputation?”
“That you don’t like the system and chew people out sarcastically?” Harry asked.
“That’s an accurate description,” Daria said as she saw Quinn enter the café.
After leaving the Historia, Harry was at the hospital. He saw that his father was still in the same condition.
“Relatively unchanged, I’m afraid,” a nurse said.
“Any other news.”
“None, except that most of the drugs are now out of his system, but I’m sure that you were already aware of that.”
