"If you started to cry I'd probably end up telling you since I cant stand to
see someone crying." Nick told Frances just as the cell phone began to ring.
"Damn I thought I turned that off." Grabs the phone, looks at the number. No
shock to who was calling. "What do you want Derek?"
<<"Even if I start to cry," Frances asked curiously. She could too, if she
was really motivated.

<< "I'll try to contact
Nick....but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to reach him." With caller
ID on the cell phone and the mood Nick was in when he stormed out, Derek was
a bit concerned that his young friend wouldn't answer or if he did would
hang up as soon as he heard the precept's voice. That's even assuming that
he had the damned thing turned on.
Derek reached for the phone and dialed Nick's cell phone number, then waited
trying to be patient both with Nick and Julia. She had every right to be
hysterical, but Derek was certainly not prepared to see her like this.
