SECOND CHANCES

Rude Awakening

             I realized that I didn't know who or how to contact the people I escaped from. I had no idea where the installation where I was held was located except that it was about three hours outside of L.A. towards farmland. I knew that they will be watching my home & family in case I make contact, so I can use that to work for me. I worked long enough to make the money to travel up north to my home in Washington State. I had been in manic mode since I had escaped so it was nice to have a calm two day bus ride to organize my thoughts. I stepped off the bus with my backpack and headed straight to my favorite diner for a meal before reconnecting with family & friends.

               I had a rude awakening when it hit me that nobody knew me because I had a new face. I had actually became so comfortable with the new me it hadn't registered in my mind until that moment that that would even be a concern. I suddenly felt like the new person in town during the Covid pandemic of 2020... alone. It turns out that didn't matter because shortly after I was served my meal four agents sat at my table, four because they were aware of my abilities. There were two more agents at the entrance. I asked if I could finish my meal and was met with silence.

              The lady in the suit walked in and stood in front of me saying she was very disappointed in me and that I had cost her much money & manpower over the last couple months. She did ask the server to wrap up my meal before I was ushered into a waiting black van with no windows. I felt a pinch and everything began to just fade away. She had me sedated for the trip to a private landing strip with a waiting jet.
