I told my mom that I didn't want to go to school today. She said she understood and if I had any troubles, I would call her mobile phone and she would run straight home. I watched her leave for work with dad. Then waited for a few minutes...

...I grabbed my coat and headed out the door. I didn't know where I was running, but I had an idea in my head.

Answers...I was running to answers. I ran fast and went to the first place I thought of...

Mr. Morton's apartment.

Yes, it seemed like Deja Vu all over again. But this was serious. Now it involved me. My life. And Jennifer's.

I knocked hard. He should be heading to the school at this moment. He opened the door, and I saw him with a breifcase and in a suit.

"Mi'lady." he said. "What brings you here?"

"I need answers." I told him.

"Elaine, I need to go to work, can't this wait?"

"You and I both know that the only reason you're going to work right now is so you can check up on Will. You don't care if you're freaking late. Now, Mr. Morton. I have your update."

He looked at me like I was a madman. "Elaine, what's going on?"
