The next day the couple was woken up by Jessica's cellphone. She was about to answer, but Mei Ling took it
from her. "Hey!"
"Believe darling your new rough voice won't be helpful right now. Hello?" said Mei Ling answering.
"Hi Jess, this is Dick! it's urgent I need to speak with Ethan or Bill, but one doesn't pick up and I don't
have Bill's new number! Please could you give it to me quickly?"
"Hi Dick, this is Mei Ling, Jessica is... unavailable for the moment. What's the rush?" asked casually.
"I really would like to discuss it with Bill, can you give it to me it has to have it on her contacts."
"Sure, let me check... by the way Dick you were born in the year of the Ox right?" said Mei Ling guessing the
reason of the call was because of the curse.
"I-I don't know. Maybe, Could you just give me the number?" Dick was obviously to restless to drop the news on
him, so she gave him the number and hang up.
"Why didn't you tell him about me?, he sounded distressed." asked Jessica.
"To distressed to understand right now if you ask me. When he filled on some blanks he may call again later
asking for answer, then it will be easier for him."
"I see, I think you are right." said as she began to kiss her again.
"Aren't you the restless one. But your brother call only proves that you are indeed afflicted with the Zodiac
Curse. As must be your eleven siblings."
"Eleven? I only have five siblings, perhaps eight counting my half-brothers and sister."
"Uh... that can't be right."
