74: Part 2

"That's...strange."

"Very much so. Hopefully, there aren't any more clones. I've had enough with you as it is. Once I'm sure everything is under control here, I'll go in search of Juliet."

"Will that be necessary? I'm all over the news. Even if Juliet doesn't keep up with the latest news she's bound to hear it from someone, especially when it's about her."

Heather seemed to think it over. "Now that I have no idea where she is, that's highly possible."

"And before that happens shouldn't I just disappear?"

"No. At least not yet. Even if she does hear about it, she'll contact me first. I don't think she'd want to come back when she's unintentionally the hot topic right now."

I sighed. "What am I to say to the parents?"

"They're pissed. If you keep being holed up in your room, they'd probably be mad at you for being a coward and that is unlike Juliet."

Taking her words into account, I promptly approached them just before lunch.
