“He was taking care of business…ah…nature calls, you know…” Jerry answered in a casual tone. He was not sure whether to stay or leave. Leaving was the most desirable thing to do, but that would raise questions and suspicions, which he wanted none of. His decision was placed on hold, when Ivan asked him to detail what they were able to bring over for the inventory list. Jerry had not paid too much attention to what Paul had carried over and little more to what he was instructed to bring over. He thought for a moment and then rattled off a list of items he remembered, even if the totals were not accurate, at least the content was somewhat correct. “Thank you, Jerry,” Ivan said. “Susan, I think we have about all that is practical to remove from the shuttle at this time. Is there anything else you would care to bring over?” “I have to get my stuff, and I want to bring over Jill’s belongings too. Have you gotten everything you wanted Ivan?”
