In this story of chaos and mystery, watch as the pieces of the story unfold by each character as they tell there side of the events in the town of Highland.
After talking with Foster, I go to my office. I open the door. I thought I locked this door? I always locked this door.."Foster while you and Faith were talking, did you two come in my office at all?" I look down the hall poking my head out and look towards Foster's door. "No we stayed in here, Sir." Must of forgot to lock it. Great. I walk in and I see the window without the screen. "FOSTER!!" He comes running in and looks at me. "Are you sure neither of you were in here?!" Foster looks back and forth.
Looking at the window and me. "Sir, I promise you we talked and then she left. We never went in your office." I walk over and out the window then screen on the floor outside. I reach out and down grabbing it with no one in sight when I look around. I'm gonna find out who was in here. "Thank you, Foster. You're a good man. You can return to your office." He walks out and I lock the door then I go the book shelf then I twist the Babe Ruth bobble head on my shelf and it opens up and I go inside.
I walk down a staircase and then with my hand print a door opens. I walk into large room and go to a computer that's connected to a giant monitor on the wall. I have to call him, I can't call them but I can call him. I elaborately type things into the computer and bring up a video call will him. I'm nervous cause he told me to only call him if things are bad. "Hello sir." I say to the man on the screen whose voice is masked and face is blurred.
"Jim? Jim Kirby?? Why are you phoning me at this hour?! You know I'm a very busy man. What can I and The Council do for you? Did you screw up??" I get nervous at the barrage of questions. "Sir, no. I didn't screw up but remember when you had security cameras installed well I need you or one of your men to send me the past 24 hours from my office. I think there was a break-in of some kind." I hear a sound of consideration come from him, "Okay, I'll send over the tape but if it's bad then I'll have to alert The Council and you may be replaced as senior pastor of New Grace." I can't have that, I can't be replaced. I hope she didn't get into anything cause if I'm out of a job cause of that little brat I'm gonna be mad.
"Alright, I've sent the tape over. Alert me then I'll alert The Council." I nod and download the footage. "I will sir, I'll get back to you when I've reviewed the footage from the security cameras in my office." He hangs up and then I immediately review it...I knew it!
*** FOSTER
When Jim tells me I can go back to my office, I do and go back to work and as I'm working Marcus and Derrick arrive inside the church offices. I smile cause I like seeing Marcus and Derrick. "Hello Foster," says Marcus. "Hi Foster!" says Derrick. "How've you been?" Derrick asks me and I smile. "I've been good Derrick, Faith was in here just a bit ago, you just missed her." Derrick shrugs then says, "I'll see her back at home later." After that, Marcus heads to his office with Derrick. I then go back to work and try look past this whole day.
I head home for the day and get in my car then drive back home. I love to take the picturesque route home and see the beauty a small town like Highland has to offer as I drive with a smile and I hear sirens thinking it's a fire truck or something so I pull over but it's not. It's not it's a cop car and so I pull over to the side and wait for the cop to reach the window of my vehicle. When he reaches the window I role it down.
"License and Registration, Foster." Of course, it's Wade, Carter's stepdad. I give him my papers and then look up, "What seems to be the problem, Wade?" I say nervously hope nothing is wrong. "The crows are flying into the barn, Foster." I nod as I know what that means there's a meeting taking place with The Council, why didn't Jim tell me this?? "Many will fly into the barn and they will be counted." I say back in confirmation and not I'm extra nervous. As I look back at him, Carter walks over and standing next to him. "Wade, Can we go now? You promised a fun parent-son outing and this isn't much fun...Oh hey Foster! Going home from work?" Carter says to Wade then asks me.
"Why yes Carter, I am but your dad here just wanted to check in with me and make sure I'm doing alright." As soon as I say 'your dad' Carter's expression changes, "He's not my dad! He's my stepdad, Can everyone stop calling him my dad!?! I have a real dad but he can't come back cause he's busy working in Utah! I'm stuck in bullshit Highland!" He exclaims.
Wade looks at Carter with disgust, "Carter! Watch your lip boy! Now you apologize for cussing in front of Foster!" He yells at Carter and Carter just walks back to the car not apologizing, "I love his mom, but I wish I can get rid of that boy." I hear Wade say, "Calm down Wade, easy you and I both know Carter needs to be alive." Wade hits the top of my car, "But why? Can't we just go through with things without him alive?! He's insufferable!" I shake my head, "We both know you'll have a lot to answer for if you hurt him..keep your cool, Wade." I say and then he releases me then I drive back home with no more interruptions.
