Veredel’s dreams were plagued with images of Sean and the nightmare that had been haunting her for the last few days. She awoke, her brow damp with sweat on the living room couch. She checked behind her ear to make sure the device that Trenton had given her was still there. In the mess of her life it was a small measure of reassurance.
She sat up, wondering what she was going to do. She thought about calling her mother at the hospital but then remembered that her mother left her with the cell phone and had yet to call about a room number. She even checked the answering machine. No messages. Veredel tapped her hand on her leg a bit annoyed that there had been no communication yet from her parents.
She stood up and went into the kitchen, ready to make some breakfast. Looking at the clock on the way Veredel saw it was already 11: a. m. Wow I overslept. She thought about it for a moment. Overslept for what? School was cancled with the sheer amount of people missing and it wasn’t like she had a job.
She pulled out the toaster, getting some quick toast ready. There wasn’t much else in the house. No one in her home had gone shopping lately. Maybe I should go and do it myself soon. Especially with my parents tied up at the hosibatl.
As her breakfast cooked she looked over the card Trenton had given her the day before. She thought about calling him up and seeing if he had any info about her brother. She had to know but at the same time she knew that twenty four hours was too quick to figure anything out.
