Amanda? Are you okay? Is there anything I can do to help? I worry.

People keep leaving. So no, I'm not okay. And unless you can track down Pete using those computer skills of yours, I don't think there's much you can do to help, sorry mate.

I'll do the best I can, and see what I can find out, but Pete's got tricks I haven't even dreamed up yet, so I doubt I'll find much. Still, I'll do what I can. You know I worry. Offering hugs if they'd be welcome.

Pete'll be covering his tracks, which'll be one of the reasons I haven't heard from him - people'll be tracking my email addresses. So don't really expect anything. Thanks any way.

Thanks for the offer - I need space right now, time to think and get myself back together. There's too much going on right now, and I don't want to hurt anyone accidentally if the magic gets loose. Give us some space, yeah?

Amanda.

Yeah. Darn all of his "I was an international spy and I'm paranoid as a way of life" stuff. Makes it hard for a guy like me to do _my_ thing. ;-)

Space I can give you. But you can't stay away from everyone forever, okay?

That's Pete for you. Always the paranoid one. Part of the charm.

I know I can't stay away forever. You lot wouldn't let me. Just... I can't do the people thing right now. A couple of days, yeah? Not longer than that. And I'm eating and the rest, promise. I told Pete I'd look after myself, and I will.

Amanda.

...if you say so. :) I can't really speak to his charm or lack thereof. Not my type and all. I prefer teeanged French girls to cranky old British guys. ;-)

As long as you need. And if you need anything else, you let me or Angie know, okay?

Pete's not that old. ;) And cranky runs in the family - you might have noticed.

Do me a favour? Either you or Angie look in on Manuel? He's a git, but he'll be wondering what's up. Just tell him I'm not dealing too well with the news Pete's left and need some time to pull myself together.
