The ferry started toward the opposite bank and before Kat could answer the cell phone rang.  She gave the girl a curious look before pressing the talk button and answering "Luna Foundation, Julia speaking."
 
"Julia?" A woman's voice spoke, an accent obvious in her quiet tone "My apologies.. I was looking for my brother, Derek Rayne? I thought I had called his auto's mobile."
 
Julia smiled sheepishly as she answered "You did. He's at the house and I'm pretty sure he has his personal cell on him if you wanted to call there?"
 
There was a pause and then Ingrid spoke again, her tone careful "I believe I will.  I just don't remember a Julia.... except for one..."
 
She wasn't sure how to finish that one so she let it trail off.
 
Julia could understand her hesitancy and finished for her "Except for Julia Walker.  Why don't you give him a ring.  I'm sure he's got his phone."
 
That's all she could actually say about it.  What was she supposed to do... tell Derek's sister that she was the Julia Walker the woman was thinking about and come back from the dead? Oh that would have gone over well. 
 
"I will, thank you." Ingrid finished with a pleasant tone, obviously relieved the speaker had understood her hesitancy and then hanging up.
 
Julia ended the call from her end and peeked back at Kat "You're quiet."
 
 
 
Ingrid hung up the phone and quickly dialed her brother's personal cell phone number, waiting for it to ring.
