We were back home again, though all of us were in the hospital, except for the cats and Mac. Even Bridgette collapsed from exhaustion and stress so Saranna said she had to stay for a while too in order for her to get the rest she needed. But Saranna praised her for all she did for us. If not for her several of the team would have died. Tracy, Aasta and John were wounded the worst of everyone, plus one of Ralph’s friends.

All four of them will be in the hospital for quite some time. Only Ralph worked for the Major, the other 3 were just friends of Ralph who volunteered to come along and help out. We will pay them well for that help. Two of them are married and have kids. The single friend has asked about joining our team. Tamara and Carrie will be joining and have been voted in already for showing their bravery and willingness to stay and help protect me when they could have run away.

They still need to go through our training program. There is one other problem that we will have to deal with once I am well enough to travel again, but we will talk about that part later. Right now I am still lying in bed at the hospital, where I have been the last 2 days, in what appears to be a coma. During this time I have dreamt a good deal, mainly about Sky, Crystal, Kristina and Sigurbjorn.

I can understand why I have been dreaming about Sky, but I am not quite sure why I have been dreaming about the 3 girls. Oh yes, I have also dreamt about Galyna, which seems really odd. Plus, my last few dreams have been about one other person, and that is, Kat. But I do not remember anything about Kat, except what others have told me, and the video of our wedding that I watched and it meant nothing to me. But I did not dream about any of that.

I did dream about Kat and I finding this very old log cabin, we stayed there one night and found a lot of gold hidden beneath that cabin. We were going to build a replica of the cabin next to our old chateau. There were other such dreams about little oddities like that and they seemed so real, but obviously they could not be since I remember nothing about our time together even though we were married for 2 years. In the last dream I saw Kat standing close to me, holding my hand.

“You must try hard to live Steve, the whole team needs you,” she said, “Sky needs you especially. Muffin needs you. And I need you as well Steve. Fight hard. Do it for me, please.” Shortly after this last dream I opened my eyes. Sky was standing next to me holding my hand, and smiling. She called Saranna right away and she came running to my room, along with Li Jing and Marlene. Later Rock and Annelie came to stay with me for a while so Sky could go and get some rest.

I told them about my dreams concerning Kat. “Those were no dreams Steve,” said Rock, “those things really did happen.” “Yes,” said Annelie, “that means your memories are still locked away in your brain, we just need to find a way to unlock them.” We talked a bit more about Kat and other past events, but nothing seemed to trigger anything to help me remember. They left after a while, but Muffin and MC were with me.

“I knew you could do it Steve,” she said, “thank you. I am sure that one day you will remember.” “Now how did you sneak in here Sky,” I said, looking toward the door. But Sky was not there. Meow,meow!=It not human Sky, it human Kat ghost! Meow!=Yep, now me believe ghosts too! “Will you two stop that,” I said, “I have told you so many times now, there are no ghosts.”

Meow,meow?=Then who do talking? Walls maybe? “Very funny Muffin,” I said, “but it was not a voice, just something in my head.” Meow?=If it in your head, why we hear it too? “You heard the voice too?” I asked MC. Meow?=Did not I not just say that? You trying to make us scared maybe? You learn how to be venting twister now?

“No, I am not a ventriloquist now,” I said, “but there is a logical explanation for this.” Meow,meow.=Good, you explain logical explanation so we know too. “Well, I cannot right now,” I said, “but I will, one day.” Meow?=What day is ‘one day’? You always say ‘one day’ but it never become ‘one day’. “Very funny,” I said, “we will ask Galyna, she can explain it to us.”

Meow,meow.=Human Galyna very nice human people, but she use words we never can not understand. “She does use some rather big words at times,” I admitted, “but I will translate it for you.” It is so good to be back home again, in our chateau now. It has been 6 weeks since our failed honeymoon and everyone is back to good health, except for my memory, which still is not working. I guess it will never come back. Too bad really. But otherwise things are back to normal, and that is nice…

To Be Continued as The Case Of Carrie’s Family.
