"Are you still mad at me?" I ask Emilia, panting, because I just sprinted two hundred meters in the running track. "Look, I know Lynn's__ hiding his identity, but he has some serious reasons for that."
"Practically, I'm not mad at you," Em pulls out a story book from her bag. "I'm just worried about what the reasons are you're not telling me. Is he escaping from jail or something? That's why he changed his face so that nobody could recognize him?"
I sigh and take a seat beside her. Actually, I never asked Lynn why he had a plastic surgery. I know he looks different from my memories, but it doesn't matter when even my memories aren't clear. "He's not escaping from jail. Some evil people are trying to find him and kill him."
"Why would evil companions want to kill him? Then he must have done somethin' like he's worth of it," she looks down at her book.
"C'mon, Em. It's not like that," I open a water bottle, the temperature is re
Lynne VandestineHe reads the letter again."Stop trying to get your brother out, Stanley. Even if you can't see, he's safe in the prison. Your attempts won't do any good. Find me Garrett Greenham, I'll think of bailing your brother out. - Malum Feingold"The envelope was sealed with the symbol of The Conditorem, a white swift bird, with long, pointed wings."Are you okay?" Kramer asks softly seeing his devastated look. "Did something happen?"Lynn throws the letter on the table, "I got this letter from Malum. Warned me to not help my brother and find him Mr. Greenham.""Why are you worrying? It's just a stupid threatening letter," Kramer folds his arms. "Anyway, Olive said he missed you. He also wanted you to go visit him in Santa Monica."Lynn opens a bottle of champagne, pouring a glass, "Tell him that I am so
Samlin Greenham"What did you tell your mother about where you're going tonight?" Lynn asks me, his eyes focusing ahead on the road, driving faster."Said that I'm having sleepover at Emilia's house," I look at my fists, my skin sweating. Well, I don't go everyday to break in a prison. "Hope she won't find out that I lied.""Try to relax, Sam," he smiles reassuringly, then looks at the rearview mirror. "You okay there, Uncle?""I am fine," Kramer replies. I met him already, a month ago, when I was stuck in a hospital. He was kind to me, of course, I didn't know it then that he was Lynn's uncle.I glance down at my wristwatch, it's a quarter past twelve, maybe the night officers already finished the bed checking."How far is the prison?""Be there in ten minutes," he increases the speed, needle of the speedometer hitting the place of eighty kilometers. I look out of the window, the road at night is
Lynn Vandestine"What time is it?" Kramer asks in a low tone."Twelve thirty five," Lynn answers. They are waiting behind a generator room, hiding themselves in the dark, staring at the infirmary building. The guards standing at the towers are keeping watch with their shotguns, flashing the whole area. Lynn shifts uncomfortably in the ground, trying to keep the mosquitoes away from him."Why aren't they coming yet?" Kramer says."There must be something wrong," Lynn scowls. "The drain__ the drain under the infirmary, what if they can't open the trellis? Or__ I don't know what's happening. But I think we should go," he pulls out the loaded gun from his jeans pocket.Kramer pulls out a gun from his coat, too, with a silencer, "Okay, let's go together." They walk through a very narrow, dirty way behind the generator box, to avoid the towers' flashlights. They are careful to not make a sound or an appearanc
Samlin Greenham "Do I look okay?" Lucas points at his outfit. "No, you look like you're going to collapse," I answer and close the passenger door. "You need to loosen up a bit, Lu, you're not going to an interview. So, stay calm." Today afternoon, I've come to the Greenham Manor with my friend Lucas, my grandparents arranged a social party because of my father's returning. It still seems like unreal to me, you know, that my father has returned. When he returned home, he looked quiet and sad, like he couldn't believe that he was back to his family. The news in television on paper are saying that an inmate has escaped San Quentin state prison name Adam Hirands, but no news are mentioning a thing about my father or Mahone. Of course, our family has already informed the mass media about my father's returning and ignored the reason of his missing situation, because it would cause more gossip and rumors. I smile brightly and tangle my arm
● Music recommendation : CloudsIt's almost midnight. I quietly climb up the stairs to the rooftop. There is a little garden of flowers, now they are starting blossoming. I inhale deeply the sweet scent of them, crossing my arms across my chest. The air is cold but refreshing, it starts to calm my mind and I slowly stare up at the sky. It was my father who first taught me about the stars and constellation. I used to climb up a banyan tree beside our house, then jump at the roof. Dad also used to say that it was dangerous for me to go to the roof at night, but when I capriced to him to teach me the names of stars, he couldn't deny me. It's a moonless night, yeah, there is my favorite star, Rigil Kentaurus. I sigh again, watching the large constellation Ursa Major. Why am I sighing? Shouldn't I be happy tonight? Is something bothering me?"Watching stars?" a male voice says behind me, his footsteps approaching. "Tonight it h
San Diego, USAMahone covers his head with the black hoodie, then steps briskly to the small house. He sniffs, the irritating heat of the sun causing him fever. He's not so sure of that, but he can feel it, his head is light-weighted, everything he sees, seems blunt and bright. He climbs the stairs and rings the bell three times, the first two was quick, the last one was differently long. Actually it was a code, but who knows if his friend still remembers it.The door opens fast.An innocent looking boy, has thin beard at his jaw, wearing loafers, is standing at the doorsteps, watching Mahone suspiciously."Assalamu Alaikum," he finally greets him in Arabic. "How can I help you, Mister?"Mahone removes his black sunglasses, then smiles at him, "Lays alyawm, Musa."Musa stares at him in disbelief for a while, then shrieks, "Lays alyawm! Holy shit, Mahone!" he tightly embraces him. "Is that really you? How many days
Lynn Vandestine"I want to ask you some questions," he waves at the chair, telling him to sit."I am on a run, buddy. I just broke out from a damn jail," Adam lounges his body at the seat, he doesn't look so good. "If you want to know where your brother went, ask himself. Use telepathy or a witch spell or whatever, I don't know. I need to see my wife.""You don't think police are already keeping an eye at your house and investigating your wife? If you go there, they will arrest you," Lynn states a true fact. "Look, Adam, I will give you money, okay? You can run away with your wife and kids, to Panama or Vatican City or an island, where cops won't look for you. I just__ just want to ask you some questions."Adam is itching his unshaven cheek, then snarls at him, "For Christ's sake, Lynn! What do you want me to say, hah? I have already told you what I know, don't you understand? You shouldn't have left your stubborn brother behind, when you had the ch
● Music recommendation : Maybe SomedaySamlin GreenhamI wake up in the morning, at least I think so that it's still morning. What made me wake up from my deep sleep? I glance around the bed and see that my phone is vibrating."Sorry, don't in a mood to answer," I mutter.I switch it off without glancing, because now I have no intention to go back to my house. My head is still hurting and processing the events what happened at yesterday.I sit up on the bed, brushing my messy hair. This house isn't mine, it's my Aunt Sicily's. When she went to Canada for a quite long time, she gave me her house keys and told me to look after it. I had almost forgotten about that until last night."Shit!" I wince in pain when I place my legs on the floor. Why didn't I feel the pain before? I thought a good night's sleep would reduce the hurt, but it didn't. How can I even move my legs after jumping from a three-storey ancient building? I think sur
