Derek:
"No thank you," Derek said in reply to Julia's offer. The things she
ate...and at this hour? All he could do was shake his head. As she left the
room barking orders he groaned slightly and ran his fingers through his
hair. He wondered just how many of the gray hairs she had been responsible
for putting there. Definitely more than her fair share. Sighing he poured
the coffee into the caraft and got a mug for himself and then followed her
up the stairs. He should at least keep an eye on her. He entered the room
a few moments after she did. "Ah Lani," he said, "at least one of the MIA's
has turned up." Derek poured himself a cup of of coffee and put the caraft
down on the table.
