Re: Chapter 1: One of Our Students is Missing
Henry follows the others, looking somewhat chastened by the professor's correction.
Re: Chapter 1: One of Our Students is Missing
Ford dithers in the corridor unable to squeeze past the policeman without causing possible offence. He waits sheepishly behind Alice.
Re: Chapter 1: One of Our Students is Missing
Unfortunately, the policeman doesn’t seem to want to be bypassed.
He eyes the companions critically.
“You’ll be lucky to get anything out of Atwater, he just keeps muttering about ‘lightning’. The doc thinks he’ll come around eventually.”
He addresses Alice and holds out his hand.
“Yes, we’ve heard of you. I’m Detective Stuckey. Please let me know what you find after you speak to him. I’ll be out front.”

"Thank you, Detective Stuckey," says Alice, shaking his hand. "I will." When he lets them past, she enters the room.

Re: Chapter 1: One of Our Students is Missing
Slowly, the companions enter Atwater’s room. He is lying in bed, the covers drawn up to his chest. His eyes are closed and he appears to be asleep, his head lying to the side, away from the investigators.
Re: Chapter 1: One of Our Students is Missing
"Mr. Atwater?" asks Alice in a soft, soothing tone. "Are you awake?" She looks to see if his chart is in the room.

"It's good to see you again Henry," Henry smiles, trying to appear empathic.
Re: Chapter 1: One of Our Students is Missing
Atwater stirs, without opening his eyes. He rolls his head from side to side and mumbles.

Bruce knelt by the bed. “Henry?” he said gently. ”It’s Professor Patterson from the university. Can you tell me what happened?”
Re: Chapter 1: One of Our Students is Missing
It’s hard to make anything out, but Atwater murmurs the words ‘lightning’ and ‘bright’ several times.
Re: Chapter 1: One of Our Students is Missing
"Do you know what happened to Mr. Cardigan?" asks Alice. "Was there anyone else there with the two of you?"

Re: Chapter 1: One of Our Students is Missing
Fort tiptoes quietly to the window and looks out, listening to the conversation; he doesn’t want to crowd Atwater.

Emily joins Fort at the window, but keeps listening attentively.
Re: Chapter 1: One of Our Students is Missing
“Lightning!” “Flash!”
These are the only words Atwater seems to be able to make clear. He stirs restlessly in the bed.

Emily has a thought niggling at her mind.

Henry's knowledge if history just barely pays off.

Re: Chapter 1: One of Our Students is Missing
Harrison has been listening, trying to understand Henry's mumbling. It means something, he's sure of it.
Life is a tragedy to those who feel
Life is a comedy to those who think
Life is a fantasy to those who game

Re: Chapter 1: One of Our Students is Missing
For Bruce, Henry Atwater’s ramblings are perfectly clear...
Re: Chapter 1: One of Our Students is Missing
He’s speaking English but what does he mean? Thinks Fort.
