Chapter 5
The next morning I left the house before Mom and Ian got up. Dad was up and had breakfast ready. When I left I headed right to my house. I had to call the travel agent for road maps. He told me I could pick them up that afternoon.
When I finished with the travel agent, I called Florida Info. "Hello. I need some information," I told the operator.
"Okay. What do you need?"
"I need the phone number and address of a Michel Pierre. Can you give these to me?"
"Yes. One second please." Pause. "The address 2132 Bevlin Drive Dover, Florida. The phone number is 659-0859, area code 813. Would you like me to put the call through?"
"No, thank you. Good-bye."
I had written the information down while he was talking. Then I stuck it in my address book.
When I got back to Dad's, I headed to my bedroom. Mom was sitting on my bed with a book in her hands.
"Mom, what book is that?" I asked nervously, although I was pretty sure I knew what book it was.
"Did you write this? It's really good!" she told me.
"Thanks."
"Did you get everything done?"
"No. I have to check Dad and Ian's suitcases. Why?" I asked.
"I just wanted to spend time with you today. When do you think we can do something together?" she asked.
"Well, we can spend time together until four. Wait a minute and I'll be right back."
I checked Ian and Dad's suitcases and twenty minutes later we were in Mom's car driving toward Rochester.
"So, where are we going? I remembered my purse, just in case," I told Mom.
"Well, I thought we could go to the mall and do some shopping," she told me.
"Cool."
We went shopping until four, then returned back to Dad's. I helped Mom put her things in her car, then Ian and I kissed her good-bye and she was on her way. After she was gone we loaded up the van and went inside.
"Now, let's get some supper and get ready for bed. We'll be leaving at 5:30 AM, on the dot. I'll be waking you two up at 5. Right now I have to go get the maps. You guys want to go with me and we'll eat out?" I asked them.
"Yeah!" Ian shouted.
"Okay. Go get some pants on. No jeans. I'll be back in twenty minutes."
I went back to my house and changed into black slacks and a cream blouse. Then I left the van behind the house and got the white Ferarri out of the garage.
When I drove up to the house, Dad and Ian were outside. They both had shocked expressions on their faces. I smiled at myself, trying to imagine what they would have done if I had driven the Rolls Royce instead. I rolled down the window and yelled out to them.
"What are ya waiting for? Christmas? Come on, let's go."
It was 7:30 before we got back.
"Make sure you all get a goodnight's sleep. It's gonna be a long day tomorrow," I told them before going to my house.

AUTHOR'S NOTE! This will take the place of the second chapter that I would have normally put in this section of the story. The next chapter may seem a little wierd if you haven't read a few series of books. The first series you would need to read is The Last Vampire series by Christopher Pike. The second series you would need to read is the Night World series by L.J. Smith. Now, some people may wonder why I used the characters in Christopher Pike's books. I used them because I wanted to give Kerry a choice in the chapters that follow. Once I put those chapters up, you will understand my insane reasons a little better (*I hope*). Well, that's it for this section. Hope you have had an enjoyable time reading this.
