Two weeks later, my suspension was over, and I was back on the road again.
Matt had gone back the previous week. Before he left, I made him promise
not to say anything to Stephanie about Louisa; I wanted time to think about
what to say, and I was beginning to feel that this was something I had to
deal with on my own. However, Matt felt the need to take charge of the
situation, as usual, and went and questioned Stephanie anyway.
"Jeff."
"Oh, hey Stephanie. I was gonna come look for you later."
"Well, I'm here now, and I have a question for you."
"What's up?"
"Last week when Matt came back, he started asking me questions about Louisa, you know, Sugar-Cane from Enlightenment. When I asked him why he wanted to know, he tried to brush me off by saying he was just asking because he read about me being friends with her in a magazine. But later on I overheard him talking to Amy. He basically went over our whole conversation with her, and then said 'Jeff won't be happy'. My question for you is: what's going on?"
"Errr, I don't know. But I think I'll go and find him, so he can tell me."
"No you don't. She's my friend, and I want to know why you and Matt are so interested in her life."
"I don't know. Honestly I don't. Let me go and find Matt, so he can tell me."
"Fine. I'll come with you. Then he can tell both of us. While we're looking for him, you can tell me what you wanted."
"Huh?"
"When I first ran into you, you said you were going to come and find me later."
"Oh, I can't remember now."
"Lets go and find Matt then, shall we?"
Luckily, one of the writers came down the corridor then, and Stephanie had to go off and do an urgent re-write for part of the show. She made it clear though, that she would come and find me to see what was going on. I headed off to find Matt, partly so we could get our stories straight before Stephanie found us later, but mostly to find out what the hell he was playing at.
