Courtney see Rufus was ready to leave when he finish eating, being worried about her mom and he was going to the mainland she ask, "Can I ask a favor?"
"Anything!"
"Just give me a few minutes to write Mom a letter, and you can mail it for me, she must be really worried, and I am away almost two months already."
"Go ahead, I will wait."
Watching her enters his grandparent room, when she return she had a pen and paper, then she sits and writes.
Folding it then hand him, one was for her mom, and the address was on another page.
"Just put this in an envelope, and write this address please and mail it."
When Rufus said, "Aren't you afraid I will read your letter?"
"I have nothing to hide, neither do I have any choice? My main concern right now is for my Mom to know I am well, so she won't worry."
'If I tells her I had written to her, she will become angry, so right now I must keep a still tongue, silence is golden, and the evening turned out pretty good so far.'
Noticing the way, she keeps watching him, when she said, "Go ahead, read it, because you will read it anyhow, so why wait?"
"Sorry, I cannot read it now, but when I reach home."
Standing up, Rufus asks, "Do you want me to bring you anything when I am returning?"
"Yeah, how about a gun," seeing the sadness in his eyes, Courtney continues, "It will help keep me safe from whatever that evil force is."
Observing the seriousness on her face, not a smile and the way she continues to look at him. Asking her, "Do you have to do anything, before I open the door then?"
"Go ahead, who cares what happens." 'Oh God, she is so moody and unpredictable, one minute she happy and the next she doesn't care.
At least we eat a meal together without quarreling, in fact, it's our first meal in the two months since we got married.'
Covering the house with the blood, just as she did then open the door, as he step through he did the same.
Rufus had only started the van then puts the letter in his pocket, when he heard her locked the door and take off the light.
Reaching home he locks his room door, then took out the letter to read. It did not reveal where she was, only she was happy.
She was asking her Mom to take care of herself and whenever she can visit she will, then she sends her love and sign her name.
Placing the letter in the envelope together with a cheque for three thousand dollars. Sealing it then write her address.
Rufus reached at the airstrip for six seeing Alf already waiting on him and the plane engine was all crank up and ready to go.
Landing at the Mainland for seven-o-clock, Rufus took a taxi and went to the Agro. Complex placing his order then heads off to the bank.
Giving them the marriage certificate to open an account for Courtney, Thinking now that she is pregnant, the arrangement he made with Tamara, he must comply to his word and give it to Courtney
Asking the officer to transfer two million into the account, and to make out a standing order that each month on the first Monday, a cheque of three thousand be issued to the person, Mrs. Elsie Brown at this address from his account.
Collecting the marriage certificate, Rufus glimpse through seeing her date of birth. Closing his eyes, 'Why didn't I check this before today, seeing her birthday was the first of July, which was two days ago.
Mailing her letter, then did some shopping, getting her a few special gifts and having a birthday card written out, placing it inside the gift before it was gift wrap.
Visiting the nursing home where Dad said Pappie was admitted. But they said he was discharged two weeks ago.
Going to their house in the Mainland, learning from the Butler that his grandparents haven't returned since the accident.
Checking to see if there was any mail from them. When the butler came announcing there was nothing.
Rufus, relax for two hours, not knowing where to begin looking for them. It was late when he took the taxi to the airstrip.
Hearing Alf left a message that the plane was giving some problem and he will be delayed another hour.
Rufus took all the things he bought for Courtney, putting it into one big bag, and the items for the others in separate bags.
Half seven when the secretary came, "Mr. Dawson, Alf just radio saying the problem is not rectified and he is hoping that by the morning the problem should be resolved."
Returning with a taxi to the house, having no choice, Rufus thought, "It is only for one night."
Reaching very early by the airstrip hoping he will return home very early and visit Courtney first to present her with his gift.
Only to hear the problem wasn't rectify yet. Having to return to the house Rufus, secure his bags then went and visit Medical Centers and nursing home, looking for his grandparents.
Feeling exhausted having no good news, he finally give up for the day. Returning to get his bags to go and get the plane only to hear news came that the plane wasn't fixed yet.
Eating the meal the butler set before him, but him mind went back to Courtney. 'I am sure she had written a note for me, just supposed dad go to drop gas, then my secret will be out.
Feeling the food stock in his throat, he began coughing having to drinks some water. Standing up he hurried to his room, Rufus started to pray, asking God to conceal his secret just for a little while longer.
But the week was almost finish and the problem hasn't been resolved, having no choice to stay on the Mainland.
