An Unexpected Adventure with Robin and Olivia – Chapter 6

Chapter Six: The Red Light



Breakfast was just what I needed. Toast, bacon, and eggs. All made with just the right seasonings. Bacon that is crisp and with a hint of brown sugar is delicious. It is easy to coat and put in the oven for a rich taste. The toast was made using a French bread cut on the bias. It was toasted lightly on both sides and then butter is smeared across one side and melted. Eggs must be slow cooked and fluffy. And with a hint of cheese adds nice flavor. Of course, I could eat plenty.

We all sat down and enjoyed the breakfast Robin made. Olivia was heading out to shop with Julie later and I was heading back to my apartment. I had some work to do and general clean up of the apartment. Then I was probably going to swim for a bit.

“Robin, everything is delicious. You have definitely perfected breakfast.”

“Mark, thank you. I am sure you could do better.”

“No, that was really well done. I think I try cooking things too fast for breakfast most of the time.”

“I am glad you liked it.” Robin said.

“Olivia, what are you and Julie going to look for today?” I asked.

“I wanted some sandals and a newer bikini. Julie was talking about getting a cover up for her swim suit and may be some hair ties. But we may find other things as well.”

“I thought your swim suit was new.”

“I got it last year and think a new one would fit better.”

“Don’t spend too much,” Robin interjected. “You need to save some of your money for the July trip.”

“I have it put aside. Besides, Uncle Mark gave me a nice present.”

“Oh, really?”

I had given Olivia only 50 dollars in addition to the necklace. Then I thought about the red light. “I wanted to ask you, Robin, about this red light I have seen in the spare room. Do you know what is causing it?”

“I am not aware of a light. Where is it located?

“It was up near the return air vent. I have seen it a couple of times but only for a second, then it disappears.”

Robin asked Olivia, “Have ever seen a red light in the spare room?”

Olivia hesitated and then said, “No.” She had a puzzled look on her face that seemed to change to concern.
