Vienna
~ Billy Joel

"Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me,
Why are you still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?"

 Vienna waits for you?"

CHAPTER 16: DOUBLE DOUBLE AGENT

        Humming.

        Nadine woke up to the sound of humming. She couldn't figure out what song, it was something familiar. Hmmm. The girl stopped, her heart beat getting faster.

        La Carillon de Vendôme.

        It was a very old French song she remembered from when she was little. Something she could hear a woman's voice humming to presently. "Les ennemis ont tout pris ne lui laissant par mépris." The voice started to sing in a whisper.

        Nadine held back a groan, the pain in her neck becoming more intense as her body woke up. She racked her brain for the English translations. "The enemies have taken everything leaving him nothing by contempt." Why is she singing that old song?

        Suddenly, the singing stopped. "They're not gonna hurt her, right?" A boys voice spoke from a few feet away. It was familiar as well. It sounded like- Billy?

        Everything came rushing back to her in that moment. Margie and her running to the Moore house. David injecting something into her neck. The weird stares from the Moores whenever she was around. Eli's talk about the family watching them. Every night they would come into my bedroom, why?
