A Perfect Imperfection

Chapter 6

Jack

   I walk in my old hut in the outskirts of town. I knew my brother and he would generally assume that my hiding place would be somewhere far away. He would never think to look right here in the inhabited parts of the island. Hidden in plain sight. I flip on the lights and see the living room which has accumulated a layer of dust from being untended for so long. I walk past the sofa and make myself a drink waiting for him to come. I made the call to him as soon as I broke free and told him that I would take a while till I got home so that I can make sure no one was following me so I don’t know if he would show up anytime soon but I need to see him before I can continue with anything so I sat on one of the dusty couch with a drink in my hand and waited.
    I didn’t have to wait long though. I was two glasses of whisky in when I heard the knock.
    ‘Come in’, I called out to him.
      He walked in and shut the door behind him and sat on a couch across from me. He looked at me waiting for me to speak first.
     ‘Is she here?’ I asked not being able to wait any longer to know.
        He nodded, ‘she landed here at about noon with Kevin’, he said with a flat informative tone. ‘The president welcomed her himself in person’.
       ‘Good. Her being here will make it easier to keep an eye on her. Did u figure out what her power is yet?’
         ‘No. Not yet. I haven’t been able to see her use it.'
         ‘Well keep me informed won’t you. Get back now before anyone notices you are missing’ I get up to refill my drink.
        ‘I will’, he said getting up. I got back to my seat with a refilled glass as I saw him walk out and shut the door. So Matthew had left his comfy office to see her. She must be something special. My brother never leaves his office for anyone. He didn’t even bother to come down and see me while I was locked up. Well when I gain all power he will be begging on my feet for forgiveness. I laughed at the image of my brother on his knees. I imagined running a knife through his neck and watching him bleed out his life slips away and my laugh got deeper. Oh I cannot wait until the day I shall do that. I close my eyes and let the image of him lying lifeless at my feet play a little longer in my mind.
         I wake myself up from my daydream and take a sip of my drink thinking of the girl. Karen. It is said that she will have powers that can defeat even the greatest including me. If I could get her to be on my side, if I can control her, I would have all of humanity in my hand. My wildest dreams would come to life. I need that girl for myself or they will use her to end me and I can’t have that. Now if only I could think of a way to capture her. I sat there drinking thinking of how I could get to her and wondering what her power would be. I don’t know how long I sat there but I realized I was tired so I decided to get to work tomorrow after a good night’s sleep so I got up turned off the lights to the living room and went to my bed room. I didn’t even bother to change out of my clothes, I just got my shoes of, fell on my bed and fell into sleep.
