Here is part 3a of Revelations. I broke this section into two parts mainly because the machine I was using got stubborn and I couldn't edit anything. I also managed to lose the second part. Just as soon as I find it, I'll post it as well. As usual all comments to z_dentonam@titan.sfasu.edu. Enjoy!! (Oh, yes, for all you people who came in on this story late, this is about what I would think would happen if Duncan told Anne. It was started before Star-Crossed aired) ******************************************************************************* Revelations Part 3 of ? By Amy M. Denton As Joe Dawson made his way up the steps of DeSalvo's Dojo, he didn't hear anything and *that* bothered him. Usually he could hear the sounds of the men inside working out and just the everyday sounds that a business produced but today the dojo was silent and it worried him. he thought and then . He paused for a minute, then shook his head firmly as if to shake the bothersome thoughts of his head and finished his walk up the stairs. When he reached the top of the staircase and walked through the double glass and wood doors that flanked the entrance, he didn't see anyone. An uneasy feeling began to creep over him. He hurried to the small office set off in one corner of the dojo and looked in through one of the windows that lined it. He looked for a moment, the uneasy feeling growing, then saw some movement behind the desk. He breathed a sigh of relief. He walked into the office and looked behind the desk only to see Richie on his hands and knees under the desk. He appeared to be looking for something. "Richie?" Joe said, "What are you doing?" At the sound of Joe's voice, Richie started, sat up and smacked his head on the underside of the desk. Joe heard a muffled "Ow!" and was rewarded moments later when Richie came out from under the desk, rubbing his head where he had hit it. He looked reproachfully at Joe. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you but where is everybody and what were you doing on the floor?" Richie stood up and brushed the dust from his clothes. "I was looking for my keys. I got all the way down to my motorcycle and I didn't have them. I came back up here to see if I dropped them." He shrugged. "What are you doing here? Is there something wrong? Need some help?" He looked around the office and frowned. "What did I do with them?" he muttered to himself. Joe was silent for a moment then said "I was wondering what Duncan had done with himself. I haven't seen him in almost a week. I usually see him at least two or three times a week and this week, nothing." He waved his hands in the air to emphasize his point. "Do you know where he is?" "Oh." was all Richie said. "Well, I..." he stopped and chewed his lip for a moment thinking. He probably should tell Joe but he didn't know. After Duncan had told Anne, Anne had left and hadn't come back. That was five days ago and Duncan had just closed up and turned in on himself. It was like he just stopped living and was now just going through the motions. It worried him watching his mentor suffer and Duncan was oviously suffering. Richie could tell that much just by looking at him. He didn't want to get Duncan mad at him but if he could find a way to get Anne back maybe Duncan would forget he *had* told anyone. he thought. He looked at Joe. The man was obviously concerned or he wouldn't have come all the way over to the dojo just to to shoot the breeze. =========================================================================
