    Hello
    « One man's glory is another man's hell.
    You’re on the outside, never bound by such a spell.
    Together in the darkness, alone in the light.
    I took it upon me to be yours, Timmy,
    I’ll lead your angels and demons at play tonight......»

    hamish turned to find a rather indignant tanya standing in the doorway.

    'we make love and then you climb out of bed to call someone. who are you calling hamish?'

    take a good look

    tanya wasn't one for playing games. she turned and walked back into the bedroom. when hamish followed he found her dressing. he playfully tried to wrap his arms around her, but she pushed him away.

    'i got to get going hamish.'
    hear my name

    'pissy? you think this is me being pissy? you don't know me well enough to make that call hamish. how do you think it makes me feel to have you climb out of bed to call another woman?'
    hear my name

    tanya laughed to herself as she pulled her boots on. she stood with her hands on her hips looking at hamish.

    'it always is hamish. it always is.'

    she picked up her bag and started to walk away. hamish reached out grabbing tanya's arm. she looked at him again and he returned her gaze. she pulled her arm away.

    'you can't even tell me her name. see ya later.'
    hear my name

    fuck hamish swore to himself when he heard the front door close. he thought for a second about going after tanya but then he thought why bother. then he thought about anna and wondered why she didn't answer her phone.

    well for starters, she could have been out. or she could be too drunk. or she could be working. or there could be a hundred reasons why anna doesn't answer her phone.

    hamish knew he had to stop trying to be more to anna than she was williing to allow him. but they had known each other since high school. and well, he was the one that introduced her to davey. and look how well that turned out.

    let it go man. just let it go

    hamish decided that a shower was needed to clear his head.

    Good morning is the sun prince feeling better? I have some coffee for you if you just get that head out from under the covers.

    jeff flung the covers off himself and looked rather bleary eyes at johnny.

    'why are you such a morning person? i hate it. but thank you for the coffee'

    jeff sat up and took the mug from johnny.

    jeff took a sip from his mug.

    'yeah... i don't know... i guess i was just in a weird mood. i don't especially like beth. she just rubs me the wrong way.'

    jeff hesitated and seemed to swallow what it was he was going to say.

    jeff shrugged the question off and leant over to the bedside resting the mug on the top of a book.

    'it's nothing. she just doesn't give off a good vibe for me'

    jeff stood up and kiss johnny.

    'i'm going to take a shower.'

    johnny let him go, noting the absence of an invitation to join him.

    He got up and walked over to the livingroom instead. I probable should call her after last night. Damn I hate when things like this happen. He sat down on the couch and just stared out the window losing himself in his thoughts.

    the phone at anna's rang. the machine picked it up.

    hello anna? this is candace merrick from the national art school. i got your number from gerard temperley. i'd like to get together with you as soon as possible to discuss the possibility of you taking up a position here with us. can you call me back on 754-8607. hope to hear from you soon.

    Hello Gérard your speaking with Anton Yeates. I called you last week to ask for miss Palmer’s telephone number. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get her on the phone, so I left her a message on her machine, but she didn’t call back. I was wondering if you might have a cell phone number that I could try?

    gerard furrowed his brow. he hadn't seen anna himself for a little while. nor had he heard from her.

    'i'm afraid anton, anna doesn't have a cell phone. she doesn't exactly believe in them. sometimes she gets caught up in her work. when she does she's practically uncontactable unless you pound on her door. and even then i'd not recommend it. is it urgent that you speak to her?'

    Well yes it is. I was hoping to set up a meeting with her for this or the following week. I want to offer her a teaching position if the job interview works out well. I believe she is the one we need, but I can't hold of my colleagues much longer. We need someone for this class.

    'i tell you what anton, why don't i go around to anna's, see what's up. not that i'm expecting any big drama, but with anna you never know. who exactly have you spoken to about anna. i mean who recommended her to you?'

    Well no one actually recommended her. I saw her work a few times. I have had a few conversations about her as an artiest with people, but that was sometime ago. I just really admire her work.

    gerard wanted to warn anton, but he wanted to be true to his friend. he loved anna but this man, he didn't know.

    'okay. i'll go on over to anna's this afternoon and see what's going on with her. then i'll get back to you later this afternoon. how's that work for you anton?'

    'if it's later than that, my assistant candace merrick is contactable on the same number. i look forward to hearing from you gerard. or anna if that's the case.'

    with that anton hung up.

    Beth who had been eagerly jumping beside Gérard to find out what this conversation was about finally got the chance to speak without interrupting the conversation. It had taken all of her self-discipline to not fire away questions while Gérard was on the phone. She never really out grew her child like ways in that aspect. Well tell me G. The suspense is killing me.

    gerard looked at beth as one would an exaspirating child. he really had to stop sleeping with this woman. she thought it gave her privileges he wasn't willing to give her.

    'that was anton...yeates i think he said. he's been leaving messages on anna's machine and she's so far not returned them. i know that's hardly cause for a freak out, but with anna not being herself lately what with that neanderthal brother in law of hers attacking her and all, i think this time we should err on the side of caution.'
