Izzy was aware of Riley behind her as he followed, vaguely wondering how Cerasus intended to reattach his arm. She froze in the hall when the sound of eating came from the room behind her as if in answer to her unspoken question, and her stomach did a queasy flip. Her lips pulled down and mouth opened slightly in disgust. 
	“Well, that’s one to add to my ‘Creeptastic List,’” Izzy swallowed hard and did her best to tune out the cracking of a bone.
	When Riley spoke, she eagerly looked to him, more than happy to engage in a conversation. At least, she was until he asked his question, showing he [i]had[/i] stayed around long enough to see Trevor.
	Izzy ran a hand through her hair. “I’m still working on figuring that one out. I can’t exactly explain my way out of what he saw. No one’s [i]that[/i] gullible.” She frowned and looked to the plastic bag she still held. “And he’s gotta be one of the most persistent guys I’ve ever met."
