"Well then, this can't be good! I'll call Craig." She reached for her cell phone. "Damn! They took my phone."
She sat in the chair at the small table not sure what she should do or why she was even there. Dai kept looking at the door leading to the room by the bathroom.
"Hmm..what's behind door #1?" She tried the knob, but the door was locked.
"You don't need to see what's in there. Hence the locked door."
Dai turned around, startled. "Who are you and why am I here?"
"Who I am is not important. As to why you're here...because you were brought here."
"I don't care for the sarcasm!"
"I was told you'd be a handful and that you've got quite a mouth on you. I see they were right."
"Listen here smartass! I don't think you know who you're messing with! I'll be more than happy to show you though!"
The man laughed. "Maybe some other time spitfire. I just wanted to drop by and welcome you to the neighborhood."
"Don't bother! I won't be staying long."
"Hmm...we shall see. In the meantime, make yourself at home. If you're a good girl I'll bring you a radio tomorrow."
Dai scowled at the man and he just laughed at her. "What a spitfire!" and he vanished out of the room.
"Come back here! I'm not done talking to you mister! Take your beating like a man!"
Exasperated Dai let out a scream. Not because she was scared, but because she was angry and frustrated. She wanted answers and she meant to get them. Craig would come looking for her and when he got here mister no-neck with an attitude would get a beat down he wouldn't soon forget. But until then she would have to wait and be patient, which wasn't an easy task for her at all.
"What to do? Hmm...guess I'll do some meditating." Dai sat down and began meditating.
She suddenly stopped what she was doing. Her brother looked at her and said "Kei? What's wrong?"
Kei turned to Scot with fear in her eyes. "Call the Three Sisters. Tell them we need them now!"
"Are you sure?"
"Scot? When am I wrong?" She looked at Scot and saw the smile. "Don't answer that!"
"The Three Sisters it is." Scot said as he turned and walked to the phone.
Nishi, Nao and Nami were the triplets of the Sakaue family. They were known as The Three Sisters. This being because they had a special bond that nobody could explain. They could connect as a whole to any member of the family. No other members of the family had this ability. They would choose who the messenger would be, connect to the family member and the messenger would find them. It wouldn't be the actual triplet though. Their body stayed behind, but all 3 could hear what was happening and being said.
The 3 of them were sitting at the table drinking coffee when Nishi's phone rang. As she walked away from the table her sisters stared at her. They listened intently to the conversation.
"Okay" said Nishi. "We'll be there. Yes. We will leave now. Okay. Bye."
Nao looked at Nishi. "She's in trouble again" sighed Nao.
"Yep. We need to go see Scot and Kei right away."
"When will she learn?" asked Nami.
The Three Sisters shook their heads in unison, packed up their supplies and headed out to Scot and Kei's.
Dai had a restless sleep and awoke with a headache the next morning. She got out of bed and noticed there was a radio there as promised.
At least she would have some music to listen to. She walked into the bathroom and went to take a bath.
"Great! Just great! No hot water!"
She took a cold bath cursing the whole time. She walked out and fixed some cereal. At least she was getting food. She kept thinking about the locked door. Curiosity always got the better of her, and she knew that usually led to trouble, but she couldn't help herself. She went over and examined the lock on the door. She really wished Jeeves was here.
"He could just walk right through the door" she thought.
After examining the lock she decided that maybe a knife would work. She started going through drawers looking for one. Preferably a sharp one.
"Sorry. No knives."
"Gah! I hate when you do that! Ever think of wearing a bell?" Dai yelled. "What is it with you and sneaking up on me?"
"My apologies, but seeing as there is no door I can hardly knock. Why are you concerning yourself with that door?"
"Because! I'm an inquisitive girl."
"Ha ha! Believe me, if you ever find out what's behind that door it will only mean we have no further use for you."
Dai just looked at him. "What did you want?"
"Just checking on you. I want to make sure you're comfortable."
"There's no hot water!"
"Hmm...Baths will be quick then won't they? Anything else?"
"Yes! Go to hell!"
The man smiled in response and disappeared as quickly as he appeared. Dai looked over at the door again. She then noticed there was a small space between the bottom of the door and the floor.
"Don't tell me I can't see what's in here. If there is a will there is a way."
She got down on the ground and peered under the door. It was hard to see underneath though. She stood up and looked around the kitchen area and found matches to light the gas stove with. She lit one and got back down on the floor and peered under.
"Oh my God! No!"
