Summary

Things are definitely getting weird. Izzy's choices of late have not improved this situation. Coming to Alaska with a wild bunch using stolen tickets, and when she didn't "put out", they threw her out the into the cold with only a light coat!

Later, no one returned to the domed-house in Healy, where that nice preacher had brought her last night, or was it early morning?

What strangeness, but she has a job, winter clothes from her friends, and a room. Tomorrow, she starts her first real job.

She can't call home because the telephone isn't working. She can't find the preacher and the owners of the domed-house. Many are missing. People were saying it's all because of aliens. Others are blaming God. This doesn't help her problems. Who can she trust; her new employers? Not those two strange boys but the old guy? She should have listened to her mom, stayed out of trouble, and maybe gone to church. How is she going to survive day two of her new life, or even day three?
