To go or not to go that is the question. Nick could just hang out in the 
kitchen and do nothing or follow the three of them into the control room and 
watch them turn Julia into a test subject. Well they didnt say they needed 
him and he really didnt want to watch all of that so in the kitchen Nick 
stays.

<< "Can someone order a pizza?" she asked curiously before, same Julia habit,
 she passed Alex the coffee and crawled up on the counter to pull down a
 little carry basket.  And darned if it wasn't still there either.
 
 "Julia --" Alex started, not thinking about it but it being her usual way
 when seeing her friend in that position.
 
 "I know, I know." she turned and sat, then slid down to hold it while Alex
 put her stuff into it.  Then both women stopped, realizing, and couldn't
 help but smile at each other before Alex took the carry basket and started
 to leave.
 
 "I'll meet you..." she looked at the two non-members and winked at Julia
 "there."
 
 Julia nodded and looked at the others.  Should she say something or just
 leave?
 
 Derek nodded, "I'll be right there."
 
 Frances smiled at the precept, "I'll order pizza," she volunteered.  She was
 starving, having not eaten dinner yet either.  She pulled out her cell phone
 and began to dial.
 
 "Thank you," Derek replied.  "Zandra, Rachel has brought a guest back with
 her.  She is in the sun room watching television.  Would mind helping to get
 her settled?"
 
 Derek then turned and headed for the Control Room.  He wondered if leaving
 Zandra alone like that was wise, but they had security cameras, so he could
 keep an eye on things from up there.
