Chapter 39 — The Turn Around
"I am still afraid that with you will be in danger," Mason just told. He was disturbed. "In my father's house we were in safe, but here... I am sorry; I just could not behave differently."
Mary was silent. She wants to discuss nothing with Mason.
"Mary--"
"I want to have a rest."
"Sure. I am sorry."
Mary lay down, turned away from Mason and put hands under her cheek. Lost Mason left out quietly.

"Dad, looks here" Kelly rush in Capwell's living room, upset swinging by documents.
"What is it?"
"It is the paper from Mason's package! Look it!"
"And what?" CC takes the one from documents and become to read. Then he lifted his head. "I correctly can see that--"
"Yes!"
"But then it means that Mason and Mary can be in danger," CC jump up rather quick for his years. "I need to call them."
He was dialed the number, but nobody pick up the phone.
"It is strange. Where are they?"
"Dad, I will go visit to them... I just--"
"You don't! Nowhere will you go!"
"But Mason need to know!"
At the point Rosa comes in.
"Excuse me that I interrupt you, Mr. Capwell, but Mary's sister Christie comes... She speaks that she should urgently talk with you."
"Let's her in," CC turned to Kelly. "I agrees that Mason need to find out this," he tapped his finger on papers which was spread out on the table. "But you don't to go there--"
"Mr. Capwell, listen me!" Christie rushed into in living room as a whirlwind. "It is very important! You should me listen!"
"I'm hearing you," CC sat down again and looked at her. "What is wrong?"
"Mary is in a danger!"
"Why you so think?" Kelly asked.
"Just now the person breaking in my house! He looked though Mary's album!"
"What?"
"I will tell everything now!
* * *
"Mary, Mary!" Mason run in and embraced Mary who was tossing on the bed. "All right you just have a nightmare!"
Mary hugged him, be unable to keep her sobbing. Mason strokes her over hair, and then he turned to her tearful face to him.
"Mary, I am sorry, I just was so stupid man! I know that I am guilty! I am sorry!"
"I am OK," Mary's voice still trembling. "I am guilty myself, I am so much nervous now."
Mary wiped her wet cheeks and tried to smile.
"I am OK. Really!"
"I will bring the cup of hot milk for you! You will feel better, I promise!"
"Better be if you will bring the bottle of champagne for us!"
"What?" shocked Mason looks at her.
"Let's to drink the champagne," Mary playfully looked at him. "We need to drink for our first fight!"
"You keeping surprising me," Mason sincerely told. "I'll be soon back."
Mary smiled and goes in bathroom to be freshening.
* * *
"I understood it correct?" CC linked fingers and mistrustfully looked at Christie. "The man who is look-alike to your and Mary's father watched you early and then breaking in your house for having a chance to look at Mary' photos?"
"Well, I can not tell that the man was my father — the grabber was in the black mask. I did not see the man. But show me any grabber who searching for money in a family album! And if he was our father--"
"OK. But why you think what Mary is in danger?"
"Because the man was broken in our house and he broken the locked door. He is the dangerous man!" Christie confidently replied. She kept silent for a minute and continued: "Look, I understand that Mary and I are not your relatives, but I only ask Mary's address from you. I need to warn her, OK?"
"I see," CC look at Kelly and she look back at him. "OK, I will show Mary and Mason's recent address. But the service for the service. I need a sort of any courier. For Mason."
"OK," Christie nods. "What I need to make?
* * *
Mason come in the room with the champagne bottle in his hands and stiffened in the threshold, amazed by the sight.
Mary sat on bed almost in the same pose, which she had when he left out, but looked absolutely differently. Her dress was light-blue flimsy, her hair was scattered over shoulders and fasten with a golden pin... The twilight give the much strengthened impression and Mason become to seems that she is not Mary, but someone from out of the world.
Mary is up and with hardly audible dress's rustle, come to him. Mason start to feel that he become crazy. Mary comes closely to him. Firing candles give the golden pattern to her hair and shined her right cheek.
"Mary--"
"I love you, Mason--"
"I love you too...
Mason easily picked up her and kissing with long and passionate kisses.
