Mood: missing someone i shouldnt be missing
Listening to: customers being annoyed!

Where were we?  Oh yes Julia had been idly flicking through the local rag whilst I had been reading the mail. Suddenly she jumped out of her seat and exclaimed "this is it! This is the answer we've been looking for."  Instantly all eyes were on Julia, who it seemed had frozen mid exclamation. "Look" she said, pointing at the door. We all turned to see the by now familiar silvery mist seeping under the door of the library.  Without further ado all of us jumped up and started running towards the secret exit.  The surprise on the checkout girls face was a wonderful sight as we all clambered out from the secret passageway under her desk.  Nothing however compared to the look on her colleagues face as four beleagured looking antiheroes jump up from between the legs of the assistant next to her.  Tony, being the last out of the hatch, slammed and bolted it behind us but we had no doubt that the beast would follow.  Things like doors and bolts not usually causing much of an obstacle for ethereal mists.  he only thing we could think to do was to keep moving as quickly as possible as the beast was obviously tracking us in some way.  Luckily for us there was a red Camaro parked outside co-op with the keys in the ignition and the engine idling.  Not that I would advocate casual theft, what with all the dangers that usually come with it such as broken noses and police records.  But this time it was an emergency.  Launching myself behind the wheel the others soon followed me in.  I put the vehicle in gear and stamped on the gas, leaving the co-op in a cloud of burning rubber smoke.  The tyres were screeching as we flew down the road. Looking in the rear view mirror I saw the Beast of Drof-D'ar come floating out of the co-op doorway, it started to drift towards the car but we were accelerating away from the shop at an unbelievable rate and pretty soon it was but a memory, and considering the general state of my short term memory it wasn't even that for long.  In fact Tony and Julia (and the hitherto un-named 4th character) had to remind me that we were escaping from a fate worse than death as I had slowed down and was happily gazing at the arrangement of trees and flowers in a nearby park.  We took the main route out of town and before long we were cruising through the devonshire countryside.  Due to the excitement of the escape we had forgotten the pressing news that Julia had uncovered in the newspaper.  Pulling over in a deserted layby (this in itself was quite a feat due to the increasing number of dogging couples, triples, quadruples that seemed to be searching for pleasure in the backs of other peoples vehicles on this fine and sunny afternoon.)

oh and the end of work again dictates that we will have to wait until 2moro to find out what Julia found in the local rag.
