The girls looked at each other.

"Under the bed, quick!" whispered Taena and they both dove under it.

They lay there in silence for a while, and just when they were wondering whether it was safe, the knocking came again!

"Wait a minute," Teegan whispered, "if it's Kerr, why would he knock on his own door?"

"You're right," Taena whispered back, "I'll go out and answer it; maybe it's just the mailman or something."

"No, I can handle it," said Teegan, crawling out from under the bed; covered in dust. She went over and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a man.

It wasn't his height that impressed Teegan, even though he was certainly above six feet, but his eyes which were dark purple, a colour that she had never seen in a human being before. He had dark hair that would have come down to his shoulders, but was neatly tied back. He wore black robes with a sparkling silver pattern along the bottem, and his weapons were two swords with inlaid runes that seemed to give off a faint barrior of shadow.

Teegan realized that she was staring at him with her mouth open.

"Is this where Kerr lives?" asked the stranger, looking slightly confused. "I thought he lived alone."

"He does." said Teegan quickly.

"I am his, umm.... cleaning lady," she told him, thinking fast. "I'm very sorry but he's out right now, can I take a message?"

"I am sorry but I would like to talk to him myself; do you have any idea as to when he'll be back?"

"In a few days he said," Teegan responded, remembering the letter. However the stranger still stood on the doorstep, and didn't look like going anytime soon.

"Come in and sit down," said Teegan, thinking of what a cleaning lady would do if she were here. "Sit down and have some tea."

"Why thank you," said the man, "I think I will."

"OK," Teegan gulped, trying to think of where Kerr would keep the tea things, and wondering if Kerr even drank tea, and thinking about Taena still under the bed.

Teegan hoped the man would leave soon so they might get back to work.
