Chapter 6

"I'm getting married in the morning..."

The Great aunt Elroy was in town for the fifth Sunday to see her great-nephews. They went to the hotel were she was staying. Aunt Elroy was happy to see them even if it didn't show it.

- Do you have any news from Candy?

She knew about Candy's disappearance and was worried about "what people would say".

- I knew William was wasting his time and his money with that girl... and she made the front page of the paper in America, as the girl who refused to dance with the Prince of Liege

- The bitch! Said Eliza

- Why are you mad, Eliza? Asked Stear

- It's because of you after all said Archie

- What do you mean? Asked the aunt

- Eliza set a trap for Candy and another boy, because she was jealous that the boy liked Candy said Stear

- SHUT UP! Said Eliza

- A boy? Asked the aunt, you created this situation without thinking of our family's reputation, because of a stupid boy?

- He's not stupid aunt Elroy he's...

- ENOUGH! Cried the aunt

- But...

- I said enough! Eliza I'm ashamed of your behaviour!

- But aunt Elroy, you've never accepted Candy

- But William adopted her, against my will of course, so whether we like it or not, she's part of the family. And what you did affected the whole family!

- Yes aunt Elroy... said Eliza against her will

Alistaire and Archibald were glad. Neil was too scared to get shout at, by the aunt, so he kept quiet.

Georgie was on the pier with Laurent and their luggage, ready to go. She saw Terry from a far. She approached him to say hello. She saw that he was alone.

- Terry? Good morning she said, you're alone where's...?

- Incognito...said Terry

- Oh..., said Georgie

- It's crawling with policemen, said Laurent

- Knowing my Candy, there's nothing that's going to stop her from getting on the boat, nothing, said Terry

- I hope you're right, I'm afraid for her, said Georgie

Georgie felt very close to Candy, not because of their resemblance or similar lives, but... She didn't know why.

The passengers started to get on board. There was a group of little carriers rushing to take the luggage and put it on a cart to help the passengers get on board. Terry, Georgie and Laurent, were getting on board followed by little carriers. They were moving slowly because there were a lot of people. There were a lot of policemen looking at everybody. They were observing all the young girls carefully, without any result. They went on board to search the ship. The captain was not happy because all that searching was disturbing his schedule. The policemen finally left the ship an hour later, empty handed; they hadn't find what they were looking for. They apologized to the captain and left.

The boat finally weigh anchor for America. Terry was wondering where Candy was. It had been an hour since the boat had left the harbour and there was sign of Candy. He was starting to worry. He saw Georgie while he was walking.
