"Curtis, it is so good to see you again."
"Hayley Lawrence, what can I do for you?"
"I was hoping you would be willing to set up on appointment for me to talk to Thor."
"I suppose, I could ask him. What would you like to discuss with him?"
"Maddie says that he is her brother- and if that is true, he will be able to tell me what I need to know about her."
"You mean that you are hoping that he will know what you do not." Curtis held up his hand. "Do not get your hopes up, because if what she says is true, they have not been in contact with each other for years, and he may not be able to shed light on things you want to know."
"I will have to take that chance." Hayley smiled. "Will you set the appointment for me?"
"Today?"
"As soon as possible."
"I would do anything for you, my dear."
"Thanks, you are a good friend."
"Is that the best I can do?"
Hayley giggled. "So when should I come back?"
"I can meet you at the library, in about an hour."
"Is that where I should meet with Thor?"
"Yes. You can find a quiet corner."
"Do you think he will agree to come?"
"I don't see why not."
