Brandon unlocked the balcony doors to his apartment. He had taken the stairs up from the first floor as he liked the exercise it gave him. Often he would get off the monorail on the patio level, walk through the common area on his side of the apartment building, then take the stairs from the patio to the third floor, where he resided.

As he unlocked the door, he saw a movement out of the corner of his eye and turned his attention to it. It was Asterix, pacing back and forth inside Christopher's living room before the balcony door. When the cat saw that he had Brandon's attention, he stretched his form up toward the door knob as high and as long as he could. Brandon could see the cat's mouth open in a silent "Meow".

Brandon frowned. I didn't see Christopher at the Villa for dinner. Wonder where he got to?

Voices below him caused Brandon to look over the rail to the balcony below. Kat and Nikki were sitting on Nikki's portion of the balcony, talking and giggling.

"Hey, Nikki, Kat?" Brandon called. "Have you seen Christopher lately? Asterix is going crazy up here."

Both women shook their heads. "No, we haven't seen him this evening," Nikki said. "Which is odd considering how crazy he is for Tin-Tin."

"Yes, he's almost always at every meal in at the Villa," Kat added. "And it's not like him to leave poor Asterix to his own devices."

The doors to Dominic's apartment opened, releasing the smell of fresh paint. He sauntered out and greeted the two young women.

"Hey, Dom?" Brandon called. "Have you seen Chris today?"

Dom shook his head. "No, I haven't. Why? Is he missing?"

"It appears so. Asterix is going crazy up here. I'd go in and see what the matter was, but the doors are locked."

"Try his wrist communicator," Dom suggested.

Brandon smacked his forehead, much to the amusement of the second floor denizens. "Why didn't I think of that before? Thanks, Dom."

As Brandon tried to call Christopher, Nikki asked Dom, "Are you going to Scott's party tomorrow?"

"Actually, I am," Dom answered with at grin. "I could not pass up the opportunity to be covered with paint. Mrs. Tracy said she'd watch Joshua while the festivities were going on."

"I've never played paintball before," Kat said, smiling. "Have either of you?"

"My brother played a couple of times," Nikki said. "He told me it was great fun. Though it was difficult to get the paint out of his clothes."

"I've played it once, a long time ago. Let me give you this advice, Kat. Wear your very grubbiest clothes and make sure everything is covered," Dom said.

"I shall," Kat promised. She looked up at the balcony above their heads. "I wonder if Brandon has had any luck contacting Christopher?"
