Chapter 1...Part 2

The next morning was much better. Everyone was in better spirits by this time and decided to continue on the road trip they had started together.

The drive was a lot of fun, even when driving in heavy traffic in California. They eventually reached the coast line and got to stop at the beach. This was Kiley’s first time at the beach and they all had fun playing in the water and sand.

After a fun but exhausting time at the beach they all piled back in the car in search of a place to stay for the night. They drove up pacific coast highway 1. They saw cars, water, Malibu, and so much. It was so much fun for them all and no one worried about money or had any drama.

They pulled off PCH1 into the city of Oxnard for the night. After negotiating on the motel and the money they finally stopped at a Best Western and enjoyed company and pizza for the night.

The next morning it was decided to head on up PCH1 and it was agreed that they were driving to Visalia where Voldemort was reported to have a house and money that he was going to pay Kiley back with.

They all spent the day driving up PCH1 and into the evening, they stopped at a couple of beaches along the way. They saw surfers and the sun set. It was a wonderful day and they were all happy with what was going on.

Late into the evening and early into the night it was discovered that there was not any money. Voldemort seemed to be out. Kiley was completely tapped of all of her funds also. A lot of questioning ensued but the outcome was the same no matter what, how to get home?

There was no money left to stay for the night leaving the only choice to continue driving until home was reached. During the night drive they were all supposed to stop in Visalia at Voldemort’s house. Voldemort called his caretaker, Tim, who told him that he couldn’t find the keys to the house. Voldemort decided it was not worth it to risk breaking into his own house and kept driving. By the time everyone woke up they were into Nevada and driving over the pass toward Reno and it was early morning.

That was the day they all returned from the road trip. They were safe and sound but then discovered Voldemort and Shawn were now homeless. They had a disagreement with their landlord and were told not to come home. This left Alyce with the only choice she thought she had to make, she let them stay with her. At the time she thought this would be for a day or two until Voldemort secured the money to get him and Shawn a place to stay.

The first week of working for Voldemort was something that Alyce had never experienced before. Voldemort had told her he wanted a relationship with her but she rarely saw him, either at work or away from work. She spent her days with Shawn and the other people working in the office. She enjoyed her job but she was living with 2 men and situations were becoming difficult both at home and at work.

The few days of the boys staying with Alyce turned into more than a week. The 2 friends were there constantly and Voldemort was always ‘working’. He was on the phone a lot and outside smoking. Eventually Alyce’s landlords asked her to move out of the house because of these issues.

Alyce was devastated. She loved that home and was very sad to have to leave. Voldemort told her it would all be fine. He said his accounts would be taken care of soon and he would get them a place to live. He had already started to buy a house and it was for the two of them. He said it would all work out.

At this point Alyce had been working for Voldemort for two weeks. She should have gotten a pay check. No one had gotten paid at this point. He kept saying the money was coming. By this time Voldemort had about 30 people working for him in the guise of secretaries, models, security, photographer, and limo drivers.

Voldemort told everyone that money was being complicated by the fact that his accounts were with Merrill Lynch and they were in the middle of a merger/buyout with Bank of America.

When Alyce’s landlords asked her to move out, one of the provisions for her staying in the house temporarily was that Voldemort was no longer welcome and could not come around the house. When this happened Voldemort needed to find another place to stay. He ended up staying with the other secretary and her security husband.
