Derek:
"Yes, she'd fine," Derek reported.  "She's in my office with Julia, doing
Internet shopping.  I've had her with me most of the afternoon, Julia seemed
to be rather concerned about her too."  He was quiet as he processed the
information Alex had given to him.  "Call me when you hear from Frances and
let me know what she says.  Alex, if it starts to look as though you can't
handle her, please go someplace where you can get help, let me know so I can
get some extra security there."  He had friends who could help, perhaps. And
Philip of course came to mind, but also Frank, he could play guard as well
as anyone he knew and Derek trusted him.
