- ABOUT THE EDITOR
BILL: “Yes.”
ERIC: “Hmmm. Have you told Sookie?”
BILL: “I have told her that I am leaving on business.”
ERIC: “Tsk, tsk. Lying to her already?”
BILL: “What I tell Sookie is none of your concern, Eric. I am merely informing you that I am leaving your area. You would have known about Lorena soon enough.”
ERIC: “What of your work for Sophie-Anne?” BILL: “I’ll take care of it.”
Phone: Bill calling Fangtasia.
PAM: “Fangtasia.”
BILL: “Pam, it’s Bill.”
PAM: “Hi, Bill. Do you want to speak to Eric? He’s in his office.”
BILL: “No. I don’t need to speak to Eric. Pam, I am in Mississippi. Lorena has called me, and I . . . I am with her again. I need to make arrangements for Sookie.”
PAM: “Arrangements?”
BILL: “For her future.”
PAM: “One that does not include you?”
BILL: “Yes. I will be returning to set things up for her. It will have to be a short trip. I don’t want Lorena to know about Sookie. She’s not . . . She wouldn’t approve.”
PAM : “I see. Well, I don’t approve of this, Bill. I don’t usually care about keeping secrets from humans, but Sookie is valuable and keeping things from her will discourage her from working for us in the future. It would be much better to keep her cooperation.”
BILL : “This is how it must be, Pam. Please let Eric know that I will be staying with Lorena and that I will contact Sophie-Anne myself. I’ll speak to you again when I get back.”
Phone: Bill calling Eric after their return to Louisiana.
BILL : “Eric, I’ve spoken with Sophie-Anne. You have nothing to worry about.”
ERIC : “Good. I believe I’ll visit Sookie this evening, see how she is.” BILL: “I’ll probably see you at her house, then.”

SHORTLY AFTER CHRISTMAS, 2004. Bill leaves a note on Sookie’s door asking to see her. When she agrees, he tries to explain about Lorena. He tells her he is going to Peru to collect more information for his vampire database.
