August 11th Tracy Island: 11am

Virgil sat by the pool, enjoying the quiet, as he thought about the events that happened in Kansas.

We came so close to losing Mom as well as Dom and Nikki. We were lucky this time; we may not be so lucky next time. I don't think Dad could stand losing someone close to him again.

He grew restless. Wanting to banish the thoughts that bothered him, he went to his room and gathered up his painting supplies. Returning to the pool area, he set up his easel and, after a few moments thought, began to apply paint to canvas.

"It's too beautiful a day to stay inside," Elise remarked as she put on her shoes. Leaving her apartment, she went to the monorail, taking it to the Villa. Exiting, she started down the steps leading to the pool. Noticing Virgil painting, she approached him, slowing her pace. She stopped for a moment to look at the painting and was surprised by what she saw. Instead of bright vibrant colors, the painting was done in shades of brown and grey. In one corner of the canvas there were two white spots.

"Interesting painting," Elise said so she wouldn't startle Virgil. He turned around to face her.

"I'm sorry," he said, wiping the paint off his hands, "I didn't hear you come up."

"I was going for a walk and saw you painting." Elise looked at the canvas again. "I don't think it will make it into the Louvre any time soon."

She gave the painting another look, recalling the ones she had seen in the lounge.

"Do you prefer to paint with dark colors?"

"Depends on my mood," Virgil answered honestly. "I've been so caught up in what's happened that I've kept things bottled up. This painting is my way of venting."

"I know what you mean. When I'm upset, I try to find something to help me vent, whether it's cleaning my place, going for a walk or..."

"Giving somebody an earful?"

Elise saw the grin on Virgil's face. "That too," she replied dryly.

The two continued talking until Virgil's stomach growled loudly. He looked at his watch. "Man, I was so busy painting that I lost track of time."

"In that case, I'll let you go get something to eat while I continue my walk."

"Sounds like a plan to me," Virgil replied.

"See you later," Elise replied as she went to continue her walk.
