Angel Falls
15th April 2017
"Serenity, we have a visiting professor who would like to look at the Angel Falls history books, he is coming in at 1pm, can you show him to the exhibition room, I've set everything up there for him but I have a meeting so won't be here" Leisel asks me.
I smile at her "of course"
Three hours later the library doors opened , I quickly masked my thoughts as the man came towards the desk, the hairs on the back of my neck standing up as he got nearer, creepy.
"I am Professor Caesar Pont" he stated coldly, peering at me from behind his glasses before looking around the hall, "i am here to see the Angel Falls books"
"Of course professor, if you follow me the books are ready for you" I said leading the way to the exhibition room, feeling uncomfortable with having him follow me.
On seeing the books on the table the professor let out a dark laugh before setting his things down and rubbing his hands together.
An image of the child catcher from the film Chitty chitty bang bang flitted into my head as I watched him.
"If you need anything else please do let us know" I said making my escape from the room.
The professor stayed in the room till closing and as Leisel hadn't returned I had to go to him
"I'm sorry professor but we are closing now"
He glared at me, looking up from the books "I'm not finished"
I gulped "I'm sorry but we can reserve the room for you to continue tomorrow" I said straightening my back.
He grunted "I will be back tomorrow" and grabbed his coat and bag."can these books stay here, I am not finished with them"
I nodded then escorted him to the doors before locking them behind him and releasing a breath.
Urgh horrible man I thought to myself before turning back to do my rounds and lock up. When I reached the exhibition room I paused to see what he was researching.
'The history of Angel Falls' 'The real Angel Falls' 'a history of the families of Angel Falls'
I lifted the last book up and opened it, scrolling through the index not knowing what I was looking for but something had intrigued me,
My eyes were drawn to the Angelo family listing and I flipped to that section.
Following down the family tree reading the names starting with Gabriel and down to .....I stopped on Jacob who married Amelia and they had one daughter Faith.
I sank into a chair - Jacob was my grandfather name, Faith was my mothers name, was I from here, Leto hadn't said anything.
I closed the book and tucked it under my arm not wanting to let it go, I finished locking up and drove carefully home, I needed to talk to Leto.
