Dearest Angie,

Somehow I know you're here, that you followed me home. I've asked Illyarrie to give this letter to you. What I don't understand is why? Our lives are separate now and you're doing just fine. You certainly don't need me anymore. You're a beautiful (I can see you shaking your head now. YES, you are!), intelligent woman, more than capable of taking care of yourself and finding your own way in the world. You always were a stubborn one. You probably think I'm going to do something stupid. Well, I'm NOT! I KNOW what I'm doing.

Mangela and some of the hunters are going with me to find where the plane Dingo was in crashed. I hope you can understand I need more closure than I have now. I have to do this. I really can't believe he's gone now. He was hardly ever there, but losing Dingo has put such a hole inside of me. Even when he wasn't there, I always knew he was there. Somewhere. Does that make sense?

Please stop trying to find me and wait. It shouldn't take more than a week tops. Then I'll come back to Docker River and we can talk about... whatever it is you want to talk about. I promise!

Angela, please understand. I need this more than I can say, but it's something I have to do alone. (I know, Mangela is with me. But he'll let me finish on my own. He always understood when I needed to do something for myself.)

I promise I will come back and we will talk. What I won't promise is a return to the United States or special effects. I'll give my reasoning and you'll give yours. I hope you'll understand. I don't feel like getting yelled at, but if that's what you want to do, then fine. Just remember, as stubborn as you are, I can be stubborn too!

 
                                                                                           Love always,
                                                                                           Rollie
 

P.S. Who did you drag along with you? (I know - not fair! They would have insisted on helping.) Mira or Frank? I hope it was Mira. Frank's family needs him and I don't think their budget (Not with 3 children!) could stand a trip to Australia. How did you lot convince the Captain to let her have the time off? I'd like to learn that little trick. I won't need it with VanDuran anymore, but it might come in handy one day. Or maybe it's a woman's magic? Never mind, I should be seeing you soon. Until then, take care of yourself sweetie.
