13 The Book Novels & Stories

On my first night after moving into Building 4 of Hawthorne Lane Apartments, the elevator stopped at the nonexistent thirteenth floor. My younger brother, who had been missing for three months, was kneeling outside the doors. An old apartment-number plaque hung around his neck. It read 1204. I was just about to call out to him when the red light above the elevator doors came on. A building manager in a blue uniform suddenly appeared behind me and pushed a report form into my hand. His lips lifted into a frozen smile. “No talking under the red light. If you want to live, write down a neighbor’s apartment number.” Only later did I learn the truth.

Kevin smiled and then put the book aside. There was no lie in it.

Silas’s Point of View Cardinal Valenki had set it up for me to go to the library I requested and after checking in, someone led me to where I needed to go. I have my reference number for the book stack and number of the book, which was book twelve twelve. I didn’t have an author name or any additional information. I found the stack I needed and the book twelve twelve was wedged between two much larger books, I pulled out the book it was a small leather-bound book with nothing on the cover. I opened the first page and the inner page read. ‘The disbandment of the seven.’

Now, if only I could scare Ameline enough to make her slip up. Wishful thinking. School was just around the corner. Harvard, Liam, Shenka, classes. Maybe even getting to spend more time with Meira now that she was on the mend. Normalcy. Really? How mundane. I couldn't wait. End of Book Thirteen ###
