Now Juliet ,15, didn't want to tell the Muslim Girl or Cary
the awful truth
she had no father and her drunken mother was running through a endless lineup of one night stand boyfriends
who were generally as drunk as Veronica.
However when she let slip that she had a eccentric Uncle Eddy Erlenmeyer who was into
space time quantum mechanics and had nine doctorates in
Applied Astral Physics
the cat was out of the bag.
In actuality Eddy Erlenmeyer had been her mothers sixth boyfriend who had seemed to take a genuine interest in Juliets welfare.
Alas Veronica had kicked him out of her life
nine months earlier
and Juliet had lost track of what her
closest thing to a fther
had been up to over these
past nine months
