J U L I A N
I practically begged Jace to drive me to the local police station. I have to talk to Gladys about Glenna.
I took a good at the cop in the reception of the detention center and she looked really nice.
"Good morning, um, I would like to see Gladys. She was arrested earlier this week"
"And who are you to her?" She asked
"I work in her store but then this whole commotion came about and now, she's in jail"
"You have twenty minutes, go into the visiting room. I'll send her in but first have a bite from your treat" She said
"Thank you" I picked up the pizza I brought for her and took a bite out of it.
I took a seat in the room and looked around. It was filled with inspirational quotes. I smiled when I saw a familiar quote from my childhood.
'It's not the amount of mistakes you make that makes you great, it's how you come back up after the mistakes that makes you great'
I completely forgot about it. When I was younger, anytime I'm sad, I'd write down quotes and stick it on my wall so that I'll see it everytime.
"Julian? What are you doing here? Don't tell me you're here to crush the hopes I have for you guys?" Gladys looked really awful. Her nice, brushed and silky brown hair looked like a dried up mop now. Her eyeballs were swollen from crying.
"Are you ok? I brought you something to eat" I opened the box of pizza and can of Pepsi for her.
She looked at me in a strange way " Why are being nice to me? You have bad news, don't you?"
"No, no, eat up and I'll tell you why I came" I said
She must have been really hungry judging from the way she devoured the pizza. Who can blame her? I've watched movies and let's just say, prison foods are nothing to look forward to.
"I've found a way to guarantee that you get released and never have to return here but first, I need you to confirm something" I pulled out the yearbook and turned to a picture of Glenna/Kimmie.
"Do you know this woman?" I have to find out if the Glenna that I know is her own Glenna who is also Kimmie.
"Yes, I've known her all my life. That's my sister but how do you know her?" She asked
"Did you know that her name is also Kimmie? Or at least that's what she made everyone call her"
"Yes, she never liked Glenna so she changed her name to Kimmie but after she finished school, she went back to Glenna but still, how do you know her?"
"I've met her before"
"How's that possible? She disappeared off the face of the Earth. We searched virtually every hotel in North Carolina. We checked the airport, sea ports, train stations, bus stations, subways and even local and unauthorized boats, ships and cars departure list but her name was no where to be found"
"Tell me everything you can remember about her"
"Ok, she has black hair, brown eyes, she's about 5"7" feet tall. She likes foreign men. Oh and she hates outdoors"
"Outdoors?"
"Yeah, as in, Camping, swimming, fishing. Whenever we went camping as kids, she'll spend all of her time there in the tent or the car" She said
"That's it, I wondered why she hid in such a place but didn't get caught because it's the last place anyone would ever think of looking for her"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"Your sister went to The One place none of you would ever look for her at"
"Where is that?"
"Camp"
"How's that possible? She hates camps" She said
"Yeah, that's how she felt when she was a teenager. However, she's an adult now so she can at least try to stay there"
"So you're saying that you met her at camp?"
"Yes, I went there once on a camp fest and she was the one in charge of the camp"
"If that's true then we can catch her, tell the higher ups, they'll take care of it"
"No, for her to have been able to hide for so long, someone who has power has been protecting her. I can't risk losing her, I know someone who'd be more than willing to help us out"
"Time up" The warden opened the door and said
"Don't worry, we'll not let you go to court" I promised her before heading back outside.
I pulled out my phone and dialled the number of the only person who can help us.
"Falcon, I need your help"
I ran as fast as could to the theatre. I pushed the door open and saw everyone on stage.
"Guys, I'm here" I said
"Finally, this play was your idea but you're late for practice. How's your dad by the way?" Nirvana asked
"He's fine, his life is not in danger anymore but he's yet to wake up" I said
"Our costumes are here" Molly and Maddie came in with bags of clothes.
"Did you really get our clothes from the store we're trying to save?" Whitney asked
"What do you expect? We don't have that kind of money to get it from another place" I said
We finished up our rehearsal and went to get dressed. I pushed the curtain aside a bit and took a sneak peek. My heart jumped out of my chest when I saw the amount of people present.
"Are you nervous?" Logan asked
"Kinda, actually yes, I'm extremely nervous. My heart feels like it's going to explode" I said
"You're one of the bravest girls that I've ever met, I'm sure you can handle them"
"Thanks" I smiled at him.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, we are a small crew who have something really nice planned out for you. We are here to present a play called 'The Good Witch' which revolves around the forbidden love story of a good witch and a human boy. Don't forget to drop something in the donation bin, it's going to a good place. Without further ado, we present, The Good Witch" Nirvana said
