Mac is fine. He's doing a friend of him a favour and helps him remodelling his house, so we barely meet, but he keeps dropping by and asks for news from "the old man". Which brings me to the question: Where were you? You just ignored my question. And who is that Jamaica person you picked up?

Mr. Dawson,
I'm sorry but I have bad news for you.
As far as I know, you are a good friend of Adam Pierson.
Adam went to holidays with me, we were freeclimbing in the Andes.
Yesterday I stumbled, and just thanks to Adam I didn't fall down.
He fell down. I couldn't have done anything, but it bothers me nevertheless.
Adam was one of my closest friends, and I miss him terribly.
I know that you two were close friends, too, so I thought it is my duty to tell you of the accident.
In his belongings I found a message that said you should take care of his stuff, together with this e-mail-address and your address.
As soon as I'm back in Paris I will come along and give you his things. But I have to warn you: There is this cat he found, he claimed it and named it Jamaica. It belonged to him, too, so obviously you have to take care of it. (If you don't want to this, I can do it.) Maike meant very much to him, I think.
I'm so sorry I can't tell.
Yours sincerely

Thanks for your call yesterday night, although you waked me up.
You wanted to hear something about that little kitten that I own now, thanks to Adam. So, Jamaica, or Maike, as Adam called her, is female, has grey and black fur and green enigmatic eyes.
She mourns obviously for Adam, because she stopped eating and just lies in a little cardboard-box.

Hi Joe,
What is it with this man? He never ceases to amaze me.
I wrote him, and we phoned shortly. (Shortly because he hasn't the money). Something's wrong with him, I can tell you, but don't ask me what it is.
Are you keeping an eye on him, please?
Amanda
From: joe_blues@yahoo.com

Subject: Myths and Legends - and how they feel
Hi Amanda,
I keep an eye on him.
Yesterday evening, I went to fetch him from the airport.
He wore his usual clothes, so I recognised him fast.
We greeted each other, then we drove home to the bar. I offered him a beer, but he denied and said he doesn't like one.
At this point I started to worry, but he said he still has a headache from the fall (he wouldn't talk about it, either).
When we came really home (in my apartment), Maike, the kitten, looked up.
She was rather thin, she had lost weight in the last few days (he too). When she recognised him, she jumped up and purred - just as cats can do. You know what I mean?
I must say, I've sent him to bed because he looked really tired out.
We'll see how he's doing.
I'll write you when there are news.
Joe
PS: He goes now by the name of Jesse Capitz.
PPS: Why don't you and Nick come over for a few days? I'm sure M. - Jesse, I mean - will be happy to see you again.

Yes.
Right before the fall.
Now satisfied?

Hi Joe,
What is it with this man? He never ceases to amaze me.
I wrote him, and we phoned shortly. (Shortly because he hasn't the money). Something's wrong with him, I can tell you, but don't ask me what it is.
Are you keeping an eye on him, please?

Subject: Myths and Legends - and how they feel
Hi Amanda,
I keep an eye on him.
Yesterday evening, I went to fetch him from the airport.
He wore his usual clothes, so I recognised him fast.
We greeted each other, then we drove home to the bar. I offered him a beer, but he denied and said he doesn't like one.
At this point I started to worry, but he said he still has a headache from the fall (he wouldn't talk about it, either).
When we came really home (in my apartment), Maike, the kitten, looked up.
She was rather thin, she had lost weight in the last few days (he too). When she recognised him, she jumped up and purred - just as cats can do. You know what I mean?
I must say, I've sent him to bed because he looked really tired out.
We'll see how he's doing.
I'll write you when there are news.
Joe
PS: He goes now by the name of Jesse Capitz.
PPS: Why don't you and Nick come over for a few days? I'm sure M. - Jesse, I mean - will be happy to see you again.
