"He can't kill them with her there," Ben said. "So long as we stop him, somehow, we'll be fine.

"And you think she'll have any problem leaving someone she trusts alone for a couple hours?" Isobel bit her lip. "We have to call them."

Ben shrugged. "Go ahead." He was glad there was anyone left to warn, though he was a little surprised.

"I think I have a phone here somewhere..." She started shoving boxes of sweets aside, ot caring when some fell open and icing flew everywhere. After a moment she pulled a very old, dusty flip cellphone from behind the boxes. "Here it is!" Sh grinned, and then realized something. "I don't remember Joan's number.... I'll call and ask Adam for it." She dialed his number, completely forgetting how bizarre it would be for him to hear her speak.

Adam answered, more than a little confused. "Hello?"

"Adam, it's Isobel. Do you have Joan's number? I lost it." Isobel said, getting straight to the point.

Adam blinked. He hadn't heard her voice in years... "...What?" he asked, mostly just wanting her to speak again.1-12+17�1-12�1-20�1-1210881151671-12+17�1-12�1-20�1-121088115167

"Joan's phone number, Adam! It's urgent!" Isobel repeated.

"... Right. 778-2387-488," Adam told her, holding the phone tighter than he should. Why was she talking? He was so scared she would go back to how she had been, and part of him was afraid she was only not talking to him. Did she avoid him?1-12+17�1-12�1-20�1-1210881151671-12+17�1-12�1-20�1-121088115167

"Thanks Adam. Love you. Bye!" Isobel said, and went to hang up.

Isobel hung up, and quickly dialed the number Adam had given her. "Hello?" Joan answered, confused by a number she no longer recognized after so many years. "Hey Joan, it's Isobel." "I..." Joan was shocked. Isobel was speaking again? How could she just call her up like it was the most normal thing in the world? "..what? Isobel?" "Yeah." "You're speaking again!" She looked over at Ben. "Yeah... for now. Anyway, I need to talk to you personally." "Um... alright... n-no problem, I'll head over there." Joan still sounded really thrown off and not entirely sure what to say." "No, it's fine, I'll make the journey over to your place. Be there in an hour or two, okay?" "Um... there's no guarantee I'll be there..." Joan seemed reluctant to mention Ben's name and remind Isobel what was happenning. "It's been eerily quiet since this morning, but..." "That's okay. I'll wait for you there. I'll see you in a bit." "Alright... and Isobel?" "Yes?" "I'm glad you're feeling a little better." A pause. "See you later, Joan." "Yeah, see you."

"What a silly question, Ben. Come on!" Isobel tried to pull him out the door. She wanted to spend as much time with him as possible as long as she had him back. "Besides, when we convince her she's with th wrong one she'll probably want to make sure you're okay."1-20�1-203536964051-20�1-20353696405
