When pin drop rolled around Patricia still had not given up on her quest to find out more information about Joy.

"Do you believe me now?" demanded Patricia. "Something seriously sketchy is going on here!".

"I don't know about that, but it is strange that she left so quickly and hasn't called you yet. She would have been home by now. Let's go talk to Victor".

The pair made their way over to Victor's office, where Patricia barged in without knocking while Anasatasia trailed reluctantly behind.

"What?" asked their caretaker, not even looking up from his bird for a moment.

"Can I have Joy's home telephone number?" demanded Patricia.

"No" replied the man, as he continued to paint Corrbierre's feathers.

"Okay, I'm sorry, Can I 'please' have her number" corrected Patricia.

"No" replied the man again.

Patricia shot Ana a look, so Ana tried another tactic, "May we please have Joy's home telephone number so we may check in on our friend? She hasn't called yet and we're worried".

"For the last time no. It is against school and country rules to disclose a student's personal details" explained the man.

"But I really want it," argued Patricia.

"NO!" shouted the man

"But I just want to call her... I'm worried about her" expressed Patricia.

"I can not give it to you. I told you she is with her father and will call you soon enough. Now go away" directed their caretaker.

"You will send those back to her tomorrow right?" asked Ana, looking at the stuffy and phone Victor had confiscated from them.

"First class" piped in Patricia.

"I have told you yes, so for heaven's sake leave me in peace"

Sensing that they wouldn't be able to get anything out of Victor for "legal reasons", Anastasia steered the distraught girl out of the office. Maybe they would have better luck with Mr. Sweet tomorrow.

"I can't believe that creep won't give me Joy's home number!" huffed Patricia.

"Look, she should be in contact by tomorrow at the latest, so just try your best to sleep ok?"

"Ok" agreed Patricia as she reluctantly made her way to their room to change. Anastasia decided to stop by Amber's room to check on her friend and say goodnight.

Ana was sitting on Amber's bed flipping through a magazine as her bestie got ready to sleep.

"Hi guys!" called Mick as he entered the room unexpectedly.

"Mick! I've only got one eye on!" worried Amber.

"I like the panda look" teased the boy.

"Aww thanks bubs! And it's sweet of you to come and see me"

"Actually it's Mara I've come to see" explained Mick, causing Ana to raise an eyebrow in surprise. As far as she knew the pair rarely interacted, what would Mick want with Amber's roommate?

"Me, Mara?" asked Mara, as confused as the other two girls.

"Yeah! I was kinda struggling on that Biology assignment. And I wondered, since you're the biology babe, whether you could help me out?"
