After Mr. Roarke welcomed all the guests to the island, each couple was greeted by one of his associates. When the associate approached Jude and Timothy, he extended his hand and introduced himself at Gary. He told them he was going to show them to their villa and their luggage will be brought along later. Both Jude and Timothy climbed into the car that looked more like a golf cart as Gary drove them down the beach to their villa. When they finally arrived, Jude was thrilled as their cabin was right on the beach. They both got out of the vehicle and entered the cottage.
"This is wonderful, so charming! I love the fireplace!" Jude started looking around the place and then went into the kitchen, checked the bathroom out, and eventually went into the bedroom. Timothy stood in the living room staring at Gary.
"So when do I get to see my place?" asked Timothy
Gary smiled and chuckled lightly. "This is your place"
"Then where is she going to stay?"
"Right here with you. There are his and her towels, a king size bed, and"
"Wait, we can't stay together in the same bedroom! We are members of the clergy. We devoted our lives to God. There must be some mistake" cried Timothy
"You will have to speak to Mr. Roarke. He will be along shortly to greet both of you." With that, Gary walked outside to the car to drive back to the main compound. Jude came out to the living room where Timothy was standing.
"Did you find out what we are supposed to do and when we are to meet with Mr. Roarke?" Jude asked.
"Jude, do you realize that they made a mistake here? They have us staying here together. There is only one bedroom. We need to get this cleared up." Timothy said.
"We will, wait till we meet with Mr. Roarke. He will fix it," Jude said nervously. "Are you hungry? There is some food in the refrigerator. I can make us some sandwiches?"
Timothy didn't answer. He went to the window and was looking out waiting for Roarke to appear and provide an explanation here. After about 15 minutes, he finally walked away from the window. By this time Jude was making some sandwiches and Timothy walked into the kitchen area. He sat down at the table and Jude brought over a plate of sandwiches and Timothy picked up one of them and ate in silence.
"Thirsty? I found this already made punch here in the refrigerator" Jude said as she poured some of the liquid beverage into two cups.
After they were finished eating Jude cleaned up while Timothy went outside the front door, still looking for Mr. Roarke.
"When is he going to get here? What is taking him so long?" asked Timothy
"Relax, he will be here. Why are you so uptight?' Jude responded
"Do you realize they haven't even brought out our luggage yet? Why would they bother to take us out here and not bring our suitcases with us? This doesn't make any sense. What is going on here? When is our meeting with Roarke scheduled?"
Jude didn't answer him. Instead she walked outside of the cabin and looked out at the water. The scene was truly amazing. The water was crystal blue and calm. The sand was clean and white. The sun was shinning brightly and there was a constant breeze which made it feel not too hot. But even with the nice breeze, Jude was still warm since she was wearing her black habit. She did wish that her luggage came with her. She entered the cabin again and went into the bedroom. Opening one of the closets she was surprised to see his and her robes hanging there. Walking over to the bureau she opened up one of the drawers and took out an article of clothing that was folded on top. Holding the garment up, allowing it to unfold in the air, she was surprised to see that it was a black Teddy. It was brand new, even had the tag still attached to it. Under the Teddy were lacy under garments, other Teddy's in various colors, and garter belts. Every item was brand new. She put the items back in the drawer and started to walk out to the living room when Timothy was about to walk into the bedroom.
"What's the matter?" Timothy asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Your face, you look like you found something wrong? What is it?"
"Nothing. I am just tired from the long flight. I wish our luggage would get here it is awfully hot and I would like to get more comfortable" replied Jude.
Timothy walked back out to the living room and picked up the phone. He held the receiver up to his ear and then slammed the phone down.
"The phone is dead. There is no dial tone. What else is going to go wrong here?"
The heat was getting to Timothy also as he removed his jacket. He also was feeling tired and wished his personal belongings were with him. He really wanted to get into his own place and freshen up but looking outside again, there was not another building in site. In fact, there wasn't another soul in sight. They were totally alone. The sun was starting to go down too and their hopes of Mr. Roarke coming out to meet with them and bring out their luggage was becoming less likely by the minute.
"I am going for a walk" Timothy said to Jude.
"Where to?" asked Jude.
"Anywhere, till I find someone or someplace that has a working phone. I have had enough of this"
"You're not leaving me here by myself"
Jude followed Timothy outside the villa as they started to walk down the beach. It was not easy to walk as their shoes quickly got sand in them. After about a half hour into the walk, the sky darkened very quickly and the sound of thunder roared loudly. Timothy looked up at the sky and than back at Jude. It was going to storm at any minute.
"Maybe we ought to head back. We don't want to get caught out here in the storm" Timothy said to Jude.
At that very moment, the rain started to come down hard, drenching both Timothy and Jude. Timothy grabbed a hold of Jude's hand and they began to run back down the beach towards their cottage for safety. By the time they got back to their place both of them were drenched. Jude opened the door and they both ran in. She closed the door behind her, rubbing her hands up and down her arms, trying to get warm. Timothy went over to the fireplace and started a fire to warm them and the place. The fire started immediately and Timothy was surprised how easy it was. It was amazing how quickly the temperature dropped and how rapidly that storm blew in. This concerned Timothy very much as his intention on this visit was for the church to build a home for families in need. How would that go over in a place that had storms come in so quickly and violently? Looking around he didn't see Jude and assumed she was in the bathroom drying off. Eventually she came out into the same room he was in, walking over to the fire to warm up. Timothy looked over at her as she was wearing a white robe.
"Where did that come from?" asked Timothy.
"It was in the closet. There is another one in there for you if you want to change into something warm and dry?"
Timothy stood there with his hands in his pant pockets. He probably wasn't aware but he was pouting. He was so frustrated over everything and did not want to give in and use anything they offered him, such as the robe but in a short period of time, his wet clothing was making him more uncomfortable and cold. He finally decided to get out of his drenched clothes and put on the warm robe. He felt much better and when he sat down on the sofa near the fire, he was warming up in no time. Jude sat on the sofa next to him as there weren't any other chairs to sit on in the room, which also seemed odd. They both sat there in silence, not sure what to say to one another as the day was long and strange.
The storm still continued outside and the lights flickered. Eventually the power went out.
"Great! What else is going to go wrong!" cried Timothy
Jude was looking around the room and noticed a radio sitting on the table in the corner. She walked over to it and picked it up to examine it.
"That probably won't work the power is out unless it runs on batteries" Timothy said.
Jude didn't see any batteries in the unit but it was plugged in. Never-the-less she turned it on and to her and Timothy's surprise the song My Girl by The Temptations belted out. Timothy got up and walked over to the radio, shocked that is was working.
"I don't understand. How can this work, we have no power?" Timothy asked to no one in particular. He knew Jude wouldn't have an answer for this but had to ask out loud. Nothing was making sense. Disgusted, Timothy went back to the sofa and sat down. Jude sat down next to him and they sat in silence listening to the music. The next song that came on was Baby the Rain Must Fall by Glen Yarbrough. Timothy felt that he was the burnt of some elaborate joke. The room was very dark now as the sun was completely down, the moon was covered by the clouds, and the only light they had was from the fire Timothy started. It was very romantic but Jude knew Timothy would not see it that way. She also felt bad, seeing Timothy in a mood like this, knowing he was extremely frustrated with the situation they were in. He liked being in control and he clearly wasn't. There wasn't much they could do as they were stuck.
Finally Timothy said that they might as well go to bed and get a fresh early start in the morning, which brought them to their next problem. There was only one bedroom and one bed.
