"I know it's going to be a chore," said Elisa, "but the book isn't very big, and you're the only one who can read what it truly says. You'd only have to do it this one time."

"Okay," said Callie lightly, as Elisa directed her to the word processing program she had opened. Callie laid the book down on the table beside the laptop, and proceeded to type what was truly written on the first page into the laptop.

"Rather than crowd around Callie as she types," said Grandpa, "I say that we all find something else to do in the meantime. Callie, let us know when you're done. If you need anything, we'll be nearby."

"Marla," said Grandpa, getting out of his chair, "I think that we should talk to Gabe."

Mrs. Benson nodded and went upstairs to Gabe's bedroom with Grandpa. Though it had previously belonged to Rhia, it was now decorated with posters, action figures, a computer, a widescreen television and several video game consoles.
