The sun hits me and I have to blink multiple times to adjust to the light. I didn't expect anything special but I am stunned to find a bus just sitting. Its engine still running like there is no tomorrow. The air smells fresh as I inhale it. There only a few steps to my right is a gentleman dtessed in all black tailor suit. His hands hidden in white gloves, he offers me a smile and a handshake.
"Right this way mam"his voice so deep that it takes me by surprise. I look over at Mace who gives me a shrug, seeing no harm in the matter. The gentleman walks in front and goes towards the bus.
Mace follows without hesitation. Just before I take a step something tugs at my sleeve. I turn to find Sally. Her eyes watery. She throws her arms around me and begins to weep.
"Please come back soon."she pleads with great pain in her voice.I try my best to stay calm and collected and reply" I promise to come back for you". I embrace her and fight the oncoming tears. "Mam please get in the vehicle." I pull away from Sally and stare into her eyes. It takes all of my strength to turn back around. The gentleman stands by the bus. "Wait" Sally whispers. "Give this to Percy" she places a damp cloth in my hand. "Why can't you?"I whisper. "Its in your destiny to do it."
"How do you know my destiny?"
"I don't. I just know that you will give it to him" I stand there for a moment to try to understand. I turn around again to get one last look at Sally but she already went inside thee house. My heart aches and I want nothing more to just stay and protect Sally from Beni. Before I know what I am doing I spring down the block. "HEY!". I sprint fast past the mailbox and the usual bench where mother and I use to sit. I keep going until I reach the corner. I turn the corner and shove the cloth into the pocket of my suit. I walk into the old collection store. The bell rings above my head. The cashier sees me and gives me a nod. I give the place a scan. "Haven't seen you in forever"the cashier speaks. I shrug. "Caught up in work" I say casually. And there in the back,on the top shelf is what I saw in my vision. "When did you get that?" I ask impatiently. I point at the mysterious object. He chuckles lightly. "That old thing,? I had it in the storage room and thought I could sell it for some bucks"he explains. I snatch it off the shelf and stare at it. It looks just like the one I had in my vision. Its like the shape of a card. But only made of glass with black spirals carved along the edges.
"How much?" I ask quickly. He looks at me "For my best customer, it's on the house"
With a thank you, I scramble out of the place and shove it in my pocket as well. Now if I can.....to be honest I don't know what I am doing. I just don't want to go. My heart aches as I think about going to that place. I gobble my fear and try to breathe. Forming my final decision I walk back to the bus. Only to find the bus is no longer there. Great I am in BIG trouble!!!!!
