CHAPTER 43

Brad sat in his room reveling in the thrill of their confrontation with Controller. He wanted to tell someone but knew he couldn't.

It was too late to call Jon and just shoot the breeze and besides Jon wasn't much fun anymore. Brad checked his h-mail and started to surf the web. He hadn't had much contact with Patti during the time he and his siblings were preparing to meet Controller. He admitted to himself that she was a distraction but tonight he knew he wouldn't sleep and felt he really needed her. Boy I never realized someone could get into my life so fast and so deep, especially, someone I've never met. I've dated hundreds of girls and never felt this intense. No, not intense, it's more like possessed. She's got me all consumed! I want to constantly talk to her, be with her and it's like nothing I've ever experienced before. My mind is blown away every time we're together.

Brad never understood why Patti had disappeared for long periods of time but knowing this was his first cyber-space relationship he chalked it up to the way things were. He checked into his normal chat rooms but he wasn't the only one who hadn't heard from Patti. Her bulletin notices went unanswered and tonight his h-mails came back; "her mailbox was full."

Brad thought all this was strange but some of her chat room buddies said she was incredibly popular and pulled the disappearing act all the time. "Are you one of her specials." someone asked but Brad just said he'd had some contact with her and left it at that.

One guy who described himself as a 'chat room junkie' said she must have a male counterpart cause he'd heard of some guy, Paul, who seemed to do the same thing; got really popular in chat's, then, when all the girls were flipping over him, waiting to talk, just started disappearing.

Brad felt really bummed out. He wasn't sure if Patti was leading him on or having relations with other guys but he didn't want to think about it. He just really needed to be with her. He decided to hang out just in case she showed but by 4:00 A.M. he knew enough was enough and turned off to the idea of finding her. Brad left his h-mail account up, just in case, as he settled into bed.
