Paranormal Research Department – Professor Stokes Office
Pr. Theodora Eloise Stokes were going over papers that her students had handed in. Granted she loved her students, but missed being out in the field right now because of her broken right leg! She cursed herself several times over the fact that she had tripped over a tree limb while on her daily run! She vowed that she would find that limb and throw it into her fireplace once she was able to walk without crutches soon! She then remembered that it was partially her fault because a handsome young man had ran past her, and she wasn't paying attention to her surroundings! She was then brought out of her musings about the young man by her office phone ringing.
"Pr. Stokes here."
"Teddy, its Harry. How are you doing?"
"Not too bad. Just sitting at my desk with a broken leg though."
"Ouch, sorry to hear that. I've got a question for you though. You don't have to give me an answer yet. Just think about it."
"Sure, what's the question?"
"I've got a situation here, and I could use your help in the matter. Would you be willing to come to Collinsport to help out?"
"I think I can arrange for some time off. I can be there in two days. I have to clear my calendar so I can a replacement. How does that sound?"
"Sounds great Teddy. Can't wait to see you soon."
Pr. Stokes then hung up the phone and smiled! She was finally getting a chance to get out of here and be back in the field again even if it meant being on crutches! She called to see about seeing the dean to get approved for the leave of absence, which she was sure to get to her out of their hair! She then made the necessary travel arrangements to get her to Collinsport. It would be good to see Harry Davenport again even if it meant that it was business. She hummed to herself as she started making plans to visit the coastal town of Collinsport.

Collinwood – Drawing Room
Angelique was doing her 'duty' of cleaning the Drawing Room, and she felt disgusted by the fact that she to keep this charade up until she was ready to get her revenge on Barnabas and Julia! She then heard a knock at the front door, and went to answer it since that old fool Mrs. Johnson wouldn't make it in time to do it herself! She opened the door to see one of the two strangers standing there, and it was the woman Susie Anck-sum. Susie smiled before speaking to Angelique.
"Hi, I was wondering if Brian might be here. I haven't seen him all day at the Old House, and was hoping he was here." Susie said to Angelique.
"I'm afraid that I haven't seen Mr. Collins here at any time today. Maybe he went into town, and didn't think to leave you a message." Angelique said while trying to figure who and what Susie is.
"Thanks. If you do see him, let him know that I've been looking for him and that we still have that date later." Susie said before leaving.
Once Angelique shut the door, a smile came onto her face! So this Brian Collins was missing right now! She was going to see if she can find a quiet place to use her magic to see if she could find him! As she was about to find a quiet place, she heard a voice call out to her, and it sounded familiar!
"Angelique! There you are! I'm sorry I haven't had time to introduce myself. I'm Maggie Collins." Maggie said while holding her hand out to Angelique.
Angelique smiled as she shook the hand with false bravado.
"It's an honor to finally meet you Mrs. Collins." Angelique said to Maggie.
"Please, call me Maggie. I'm not into all the formal niceties that the rest of the family is into. Just at the formal functions at times though. But around here just call me Maggie." Maggie said with a smile on her face.
"Very well…Maggie." Angelique said to Maggie.
"I do hope we can become friends Angelique." Maggie said before leaving her.
Angelique could not believe her eyes! She looked and sounded almost like Josette Du Pres! Now she had more reason to stay here and seek out her revenge! First Barnabas and Julia, and then this Maggie Collins! She was going to have fun destroying their lives once and for all! There was still the two strangers though. One Brian Collins, and his girlfriend Susie Anck-sun! She will have to see if she could get them to help her with what she is planning!
She would have to find a way to get them under her control to carry out her plans! If they refused, then they would die as well! There was still Roger Collins who hated being under his sister's control all the time if he didn't do what she wanted like work at the Cannery and other things! Maybe she should use him first since he was most likely the easiest one to put under her power! She will have to think of a spell to use on him, and have him do her bidding! She went over to where the Sherry was in the Drawing Room, and poured herself a small amount of Sherry and cheering herself on what she was going to do to the Collins family!
