Mysterious Destiny Beckoning Corridors

  “Evan, are you getting tired of driving?”

  “No. We’ll be there in about five minutes.”

  They finally arrived at the safe house. They drove into the garage rather than getting out of the car in the front yard. The inside garage door led into the laundry room which then led into the kitchen and family room. The upper floor had stairs which came down to the front entrance, but it also had a back stair-case that came down in between the family room, and the kitchen. Julia walked up the back stair case to check out her bedroom.

  The style of the whole house was basically Greco Roman. From her bedroom window, she could look down into an inside garden with fountains and grape arbors.

  “Evan, are all safe houses like this?”

  “No, we’re lucky. The owners of this house are gone for the summer and told our department that if we needed to use it, we could.”

  “So here we are.”

  “Yes, here we are. Is there anything that you need, Julia?”

  “No, I think that I want to put my things away, and then I just want to sit for a while and read more of Jon’s notebook. Would you still like to hear me read it?”

  “You bet. Let me know when you are ready to begin reading.”

  Evan brought their suit-cases up to both rooms. Julia couldn’t stop thinking of, Jon. She felt like he was with her, almost like she could feel him standing next to her.

  “Are you ready, Evan?” Julia couldn’t wait to get back to the story, Jon had written. She wanted her questions answered. Who was Katherine, and what meaning did the beautiful Red Rose Ring have?

  “I’m coming Julia.”

  Evan sits down by Julia, as she begins reading.
