Viki had one more week in the US, and that night after entering another private party, she was thinking that Alan's invaitation to spend this time in his house was pretty resonable and nice at the same time.
He gave her his master bedroom with a very comfy bed, and they seemed to become a better friends in the same household.
Few days later was Tuesday, and Viki started to go through all the business cards she collected from the party( she always was accurate with the cards) to pull out a business card from mr Heffner, to give him a call.
She couldn't find it... she turned her purse upside down, went trough all the possible pockets in the purse, she checked everywere she could....even going through the pockets in her dress, jeans, shirts.
The card wasn't there.
She walked into living room
- Alan, the card from Hugh is missing, and I know exactly where I put it, do you have any ideas, or did you see it somewhere in the house by chance?
- No I don't....and he was continuig doing his stuff on the internet. He wasn't communicative and Viki had a bad feelings, that the card was stolen.
She went through her purse again and again, but it seemed like the ghost took it....
She hated the fact, that all the other business card were untouched, she also hated that someone had gone through her purse and her personal stuff. There were questions or doubt about this. Welcome to America.
It was her first time to face this type of things and she started to pack up her stuff.
Having just one suitcase she told Alan that she is going to go to a hotel. He made a big drama of it, but she remained him, we are not in relationship, you're just my guide and I appritiate your help.
She called a taxi cab and in 10 min was on her way to a hotel she spent the rest of time before hitting back to Europe. She visited Ian a few times before that, and the last night before her flight while he gave her a ride she told him the story with her guide.
He didn't seem to be surprised....of course not....he knew Hugh very well and Viki's thing was like a joke for him, and he lived here long enough to know the game name.
.... Later with years, Viki never approached or talk with mr Heffner, even he did a lot of private parties at Ian's place. It was so obvious that Ian didn't like the idea....hard to say why, but sometimes he just was what he was.
