Avalon Calling: "Madeline had just made little clusters of her panty hose to thrust her feet into when the doorbell rang. "Avalon calling." the woman said. "I don't need any, I buy my make-up at Marshall Field's." "I'm not selling make-up, I am here to take you to a better place, away from all of this." "Sorry, can't. I have to be at work by nine." "We will find work on the island for you when you arrive." "I make decent money with this job. I have to support my kind." "Child care is free." "Yeah right. Listen, I gotta go." "I'll need to pack my clothes. Can I ship there UPS?" Jo Ann wanted to know. "We'll give you a tunic to wear." The woman replied. Vanessa came along no questions asked. She grabbed a few pair of of underwear and was gone before he woke. "You look tired," the woman said to her. "It's supposed to be that way," Regina replied. "I'm a mother." She closed the door behind her as she left, a child on each hip. "I have a hair appointment tomorrow and a facial Friday morning," Sharon protested. The woman touched her on the cheek and said "You don't need it."
