The morning had been going so well until Guybrush spotted that note on the bulletin board.
Elaine? Missing? Nuh uh. Noooo way. She was just... washing her hair. Again. She'd gone out last night, so she definitely needed a second shower in the morning, which they'd allowed her to take because...
She made a very convincing argument? She was the Governor of the Tri-Island Area? She'd been swallowed by a beast with breath bad enough to make a ship take a dirt road and needed to wash the stench off?
Whatever the reason, she wasn't gone. It was true that people disappeared all the time- sailed into the Bermuda Triangle, kidnapped as some part of a revenge quest, tied to a golden idol and dropped to the bottom of the sea, etc.- but this was Elaine. She didn't just vanish. And if she did, it was because someone had taken her, kidnapped her from her kidnapper in some kind of a double kidnapping that would ultimately result in her escaping of her own volition when the time was just right. She was a master at it, having done it her whole life... well, except for a few times, like when she ended up as a statue, which was coincidentally the point from which DeLandel had decided to pluck her from her life.
Okay, none of this was painting a comforting picture. After scanning the library for his Snookie-Wookums of the High Seas, he returned to the Sun Room, taking a seat on one of the chairs and watching the door. Her nurse had to bring her through sometime.
