The doorbell rang again.

"sorry about that," I said to irene.

"it's ok."

linda went and got the door.

"is eric in?" I heard morgan ask: "i need to talk to him about something. Personal well we need to."

"um yeah. Hey eric?" linda called to me.

"yeah," I said quickly already sitting up.

"it's morgan. And her friend."

"and sierra."

"right and sierra. They need to talk to you about..."

"yeah ok. I'll be back," I told irene.

"ok."

I got up off the sofa and went to the front closing the door behind me.

"hey we said we were going to a coffee shop to talk..." morgan reminded me.

"oh yeah that's right. Hey sierra," I greeted her then: "let me...yeah i'll let linda know."

"hey."

I pulled out my phone and texted her this.

"ok let's go."

"i'll tell you when we get there," morgan said.

"ok."
