76. Sheila managed a sweet smile and shook her head "yes." Julie Anne would remember her, and would help, in return for so many favors over the years. she glanced down at the double Jack and knew that the last thing in the world she should ever do is consume any alcholol in her state. She shot it down.

77. Dolye was negotiating. He had everything to offer in exchange for his freedom. He was revealing the entire plot and all of the subplots that were anticipated. The game would soon be over. Alas, resistence would be pointless. It was time for white to resign.

78. In a flash white realized that he/she still hadn't used his/her castle option and decided, in a last ditch attempt, to go ahead and use it. Doyle thought if I give them one, just one, little fib perhaps I can dodge what seemed the inevitable and much to his surprise Sheila "fell for it". What was the little white lie?...........He, Doyle, was actually Sheila's long lost twin Avery from her fathers first marriage to his second cousin by marriage. "Avery is that really you?" Sheila asked, flabergasted at the possibility. Doyle (Avery) took off his Polo golf shirt to reveal the same birthmark above his left nipple as Sheila had on her right. "Can this be true?, Sheila gushed as she embraced Avery (Doyle) in a way a sister emraces a brother. "Yes it's me dear sister. You don't know how I've wanted to reveal my true identity but because of situations, that I'll explain later on, was unable to. How's Daddy?".

79. Sheila was "disturbed" by the awful dream. It was horrifying to think that she had identified with Angelina rather than Jessica. That is the very last time I have marinated herring in sour cream late at night, she vowed to herself under her breath. She examined the "birthmark" that Doyle was revealing and scrunched her nose. I think a DNA test might be a little more valid. I'll get the lab on that tomorrow. Get some sleep.

80. With that, she returned to dreamland, only this time, her thoughts were on the castled position, with Ben at her side. Needless to say, Doyle was not to hear a word of this dream.

82. The alarm went off at 6:15 a.m. It promised to be just another day at the office. Meetings and politics. The usual. They silently went about strategically brushing teeth and negotiating the shower. They'd also share a ride in the high occupancy vehicle lane. Nothing would seem unusual or out of place.

83. Sheila felt strangely disquieted by her nightmares. She believed that they had no basis in reality, at least any reality beyond late night herring in sour cream.

85. Since he'd not mentioned a place she assumed that it was to be at his place on the Ramblas. She called "The Flight Corp" and arranged for a flight to Barcelona on their Concord (the only one still flying). Ben asked what was up and she replied, "I have to go away for a bit on business. I should be back in a day or two. If anything changes I'll call you".
