Life went on for Eliza. She went to work and came back, spent time with Jupiter and with her books. The people of StrangeTown stopped by from time to time, but Eliza hadn't met anyone remotely interesting. In addition, there seemed to be a male to female of 1 to 20 in this town. The mailperson was a female, the delivery people were women, and Eliza was dying for a date!
She had a few unsuccessful dates with Johnson Pai, a fellow lab tech, but there was just no spark. She kept trying though, after all, Isadora had met her love at BellTech. Although that hadn't exactly ended well.
The family mystery hadn't left her thoughts, either. Day after day, she hunted BellTech Labs and questioned her co-workers for information about Isadora.
And day after day she came home disappointed. Not only couldn't Eliza find information to help her solve the family curse, she couldn't get any information at all. Co-workers denied any knowledge of a woman named Isadora DiPOtere, or of any strange disappearances in the town. Eliza felt stuck.
"No love, no life, no job success -- some help I am," thought Eliza, as she reached for yet another bill. "I never should have come here."
Eliza looked at the bill in her hand quizzically. This was no bill. "I don't understand," Eliza said aloud. "No one knows I came here. No one knows the address..." she muttered as she tore into the letter.
As she read the lines, the tears started to fall.
Dearest Eliza,If you are reading this, you know I am gone. I knew you, out of everyone, would come. You have always been so brave, so fearless. I believe in you -- to break the curse, and to find me...if you can. I write this letter at my dear friend Emmy's home, and it is she who will have mailed it to you. You must find her, Eliza, you must find a woman named Emmy Straight. You will know her when you see her. She dresses in the style of the gypsies, and masquarades as a fortune teller. In reality, she is a powerful Priestess for Good. She will help lead you on the right path. If it is not written in the cards that I should return to you, know that I love you with all my heart. I know that you will fight this monster, whatever it is, and I know you will win. Find love, have a beautiful daughter and a precious life, and enjoy each day as it comes to you, my dear. All my love, Isadora
Eliza sobbed as she read and re-read the letter, but inside she felt her strength grow. She would not give up. There had to be an answer to the mystery of her family's disappearances. And she would find it. Now, she had direction. She had a name -- Emmy Straight.
