Re: The Accident
David's cries break up some of the tension in the room.
"Guess it's time I was on my way," Burke says. "Maggie, you want to come back with me, or stay here and help your friend with the kid?"

"I should stay," Maggie says. "I promised Vix some girl time, and it looks like she's going to need it more than ever."
OOC: Earlier on, I had Maggie call Victoria Vicki, but I changed it to Vix here so it's not so ambiguous when I do this: |

"You mean your mother?" asks Victoria. "Where did she go?"

"She was right here, just a second ago," he replies, pointing at the ball.Mr. Handy wrote: "You mean your mother?" asks Victoria. "Where did she go?"
By this time, Roger has made his way upstairs to check on his son. Overhearing this remark, he says "That will be quite enough of your nonsense, young man. Go back to sleep before I take that silly toy away from you for good."
David reluctantly agrees, muttering "Nobody ever believes me." When he father leaves, he goes on to say, softly enough so that Victoria can barely hear him as she gets ready to shut the door of his room, "He can't take it from me. I'll hide it real good, just like the other stuff."

Re: The Accident
Maggie tells Victoria that Burke didn't seem to anywhere else on the estate when he left. She's still willing to help search for the wrench if Victoria wants.
Re: The Accident
"I've no idea where it is," says Victoria, "but we may as well start searching for it now."

Thanks for the reminder .VictoriaSilverwolf wrote:
Making sure the she and Victoria are alone, she says, "Check this out," and shows her the place where the wall is out of true. "I think there's something behind there, but I haven't tried opening it up. I-uh- don't like small spaces much."
Re: The Accident
"Oh, is it a secret passage?" asks Victoria, examining the section of wall that Maggie indicated. "These old houses did sometimes have them. I love that sort of thing! This is like something out of a Nancy Drew book."

Re: The Accident
Maggie's hella curious about all these branches, but doesn't really want to go in there.
Re: The Accident
Victoria's curiosity gets the better of her. Taking the flashlight, she slips down the passage, unraveling a spool of thread behind her so she can find her way back. Most interested in the unknown, she follows the third branch.

Re: The Accident
After a while, the path slopes downward at a fairly steep angle. It twists and turns frequently, allowing no real preview of its destination. Some distance later, the floor becomes slick with moisture.
So steep and slick, in fact, that Victoria goes sliding on her back, managing to halt her descent just before the path leads to a sea cave. The crashing waves echo throughout the cave deafeningly. It may take some effort to climb back up.

Re: The Accident
Realizing that she has gone too far, Victoria tries to climb back up the slope, wishing that she had used a rope instead of thread.

"Maggie!" Victoria calls up the slope. "I slid down a slope into a sea cave and can't get back up! Fetch some rope and another flashlight, and follow the thread I unrolled to find me! Watch your step so you don't slide down too!"

Re: The Accident
"Oh, crud." Maggie really doesn't want to go in there, but she can't leave Vix there, especially when Maggie was the one to point it out anyway. She runs off in search of a shed where she might find rope and flashlight, then crawls into the passage, taking it very very slow.

After putting everything back where it belongs, changing clothes, and taking a good, hot bath, Victoria is ready to call it a day.
The next morning, during his tutoring, David interrupts his geography lesson by saying "Have a nice trip? See you next fall!" and then snickering.
Later that day, he vanishes for a while -- nothing new there -- and returns with a stash of badly torn old comic books, which Victoria hasn't seen in the collection in his room before.
Meanwhile, after yet another day of hard work at the diner, Maggie comes home to find that her father has completed the painting.
