Chapter 112
"Vince, go to bed." Howard says for the tenth time this evening.
"No."
"You need sleep."
"I don't care."
"Nothing bad is going to happen. Everything's going to be fine."
"You don't know that."
"Vince, she'll be fine. There is absolutely no need to sit staring at the door."
"You're right." He seems taken aback.
"What?"
"You're absolutely right. Waiting here won't do anything." I say, standing up.
"Vince, if you're about to do what I think you're about to do, don't."
"You do know that you're making no sense?"
"I'm making perfect sense!" I ignore him as I pull on some cool boots and an awesome jacket. "Vince, stop!" He says, grabbing me by the shoulders.
"Get off, Howard!" I say, trying to shake him off.
"Vince, you can't do this. Just think about it. What good will it do? You don't even know where she is!"
"But she could be hurt!"
"What's going on?" Naboo appears in the room suddenly.
"We hear shouting." Bollo says, appearing next to him.
"Everything's fine." I insist.
"Everything is not fine!"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Noelle's gone out!"
"I was aware. What's wrong with that?"
"She could be hurt!" Howard raises his hands in exasperation and I see my chance. Ducking under his arms, I run out of the door, slamming it shut behind me.
