Chapter Twelve
Charles "Spike" Kostan was right about the emos. But this so-called connection between Christopher Carrabas and a sister just didn't jibe. He never had a sister named Sophia and although the family was indeed private, Spike had been able to locate a picture of the real sibling. So who was this Sophie David and why was she spinning such incredible tales?
Fortunately he could have Logan at the Foundation do much of the background work; and just to be thorough checking out Karolina and her father, Jean-Louis David. So far nothing out of the (para) normal. Kara was their only child, nothing noted about ESP or sensitivity, maybe a hint of witchcraft belonging to Wicca at sixteen. At eighteen after meeting up with Heather, started wearing nose rings, dying her naturally brown hair black and doing the usual emo things like heavy dark makeup and black lipstick. Was allowed to get away with it even at Oxford due to her intelligence.
Sophie and Jean-Louis, on the surface, looked like a typical Franco-American couple. Logan uncovered her real last name, Harcourt, born in Hartford, Connecticut and she was indeed an emo. He even found a picture of her – turns out she was a groupie for Carrabas' former band. That was probably as close as she got to him. Maybe a fantasy of hers. Then she meets this Jean-Louis David and bang she's converted into being a sophisticated Frenchwoman. Now that's strange enough in itself, thought Spike, but stranger things have happened.
Like vampires having kids.
