Elsa dropped Wilbur off at his house and drove off without saying goodbye.
Wilbur stared at the back of her car, shaking his head. “What’s gotten into her? Sigh!”
He opened the door and flopped onto the couch, unsure of what to do next.
Sometime later, he glanced at his watch. He got up at last, heading to the kitchen and getting busy.
Not long after, the doorbell rang. Wilbur opened the door.
He was greeted by the sight of a tall, burly man in his fifties. The man was currently staring Wilbur down with suspicion and annoyance
“Hello there. Are you looking for someone?” Wilbur asked politely.
The
man said nothing, striding past Wilbur and sitting down on the couch.
Wilbur was a little confused, Wasn’t this a little too much?
Just then, the man asked, “Who are you, and what are you doing here?”
Wilbur blinked. He racked his brains, before realizing what had just happened.
This was definitely Wilbur’s house. Even if it wasn’t, he definitely owned the place. What was going on here?
Just as he was about to respond, the man shouted, “How did you know Faye, and why are you here?
As he spoke, the man glanced at Wilbur’s apron.
Wilbur finally said, “I guess we’re colleagues, then, Faye invited me to live here.”
“Colleagues? She invited you to live here?” The man looked Wilbur up and down, his tone suspicious and displeased.
Wilbur fell silent. This man seemed to be related to Faye in some way.
“Do you work at Cape?” the man asked.
