Chapter 4: Phone call

June 23, 2004


Kit was sprawled on the floor of his bedroom, reading comics and listening to loud music. He and Tony had spent the last few hours trying to pretend they weren't still mad. Somehow their fun day together hadn't worked out.
Tony went into the adjoining bathroom, and Kit sighed with relief to have him out of the room. Just a few more hours of this.
Kit heard the phone in the kitchen ring, but didn't bother to answer. Carmela went skidding past, racing down the hallway to grab it. He heard her squeal, "Hellooo?"

A minute later, her footsteps stopped outside his door.
"Kit," she said, quietly.
"What?"
"Kit!" He turned around to look. She had both hands on the doorframe, and looked upset.
"Kit, that was Annie Calahan on the phone..." she couldn't finish the sentence.

"Whadaya mean?" he asked distantly. "What did she call for?" Nita? NitaNitaNITA? He reached out to her mind, and then jumped sharply away. He couldn't make any sense of the feelings. What the hell is going on?

"Oh, no," he said, realizing. And without even a second look around, he went racing down the stairs.
