Chapter 2
Frederick opened his eyes and looked at his worried parents. He still sat at the couch in the hotel-lobby with the newspaper in his hands.
"Frederick, are you okay? Do you felt asleep?" his father asked.
Frederick looked at the picture in the newspaper, which showed the island. What should he do now. "I'm okay, I'm tired!" he lied and walked with his parents to thier room.
He knowed, it was the wrong time for panic. What should he do? Should he call Jake and tell him: hey I remember that I almost died! When he and his parents entered thier room, Frederick sat down on his bed and looked at the phone.
'What should I say?' he thaught. 'I mean, I will move to another contry in a couple of weeks. And my friends? I never met them if I didn't helped Jake... but they lied at me, too. I think the best is when I forget it. I have holidays now. And in a few weeks, all my problems are over!"
Frederic stood up again, and leaved the room alone.
Jake entered with FuDog his house and was happy to be in a warm room. The snowstorm got heavier, and the wind also became ever stronger. Jake walked threw the living room and found his father and his grandfather sitting on the fireplace.
"Can you make it hoter?" the old man asked.
"Why you ask me? You are the dragon, you can breath fire!" Jonathan said annoyed.
"Hello!" Jake said and both turned to see him.
"Oh, hello Jakey!" his father said. "Come sit down! The heater is brocken!"
"What? Here, too! What's going on here in this city?" Jake asked and sat down at the fireplace.
"I don't know! The Climate change maybe! By the way, how did you decide above this boy? Your grandfather told me that he will remember, maybe."
"What? Yo-gramps, you knowed above this letter!" Jake said and presented them the letter. "Why I have to decide above this! In the last months you told me that the human-supporters have to pass many tests and that the concil have many requirements to humans. I don't know Frederick very well. Why they not decide above it?" Jake asked.
"Because, Frederic passed the test!" Lao Shi explained. "And before you ask... that is not a test like a school-test. They first spy out the possible humans. They have to be healty, honestly, responsibly and good. They also shouldn't have many friends, because they where too much people who could find out the secret. And Frederick was testet just two weeks after the happenings on the island. His only friends are the both human-supporters from Bosnia. But he is good, and very friendly. He is, if he remembers, allowed to be a human-supporter. Now, only you have to decide about it. Because you are the one who will get the support!"
Jake looked at the formular again. He didn't know what he should do. How would Frederick react! Will he get in panic, or become a nuisance, who only want's to terrify Brad.
"I have to think about it!" Jake said. "I can't decide it now!"
During they sat at the fireplace, Haley entered the house and ran to the fireplace.
"Ahhhhh.... that's better!" she said satisfied. "And how did you decide?"
"You knowed it, too? Does everybody have to ask me that?" Jake shouted.
"Sorry, forget it!" Haley anserwed quickly.
Frederick walked threw the hotel for hours, during he think about that what happend. Now he understood what his both Bosnian friends meaned with: We are often in stress!
Frederick entered the hotel lobby and looked at all the talking people who stood on the courtesy-phones.
'Maybe, I should call him. It will be the best when he know that I know everything.' he thaught. 'And when I move away, there are my friends who also know that secret. They have the same jobs like Trixie and Spud. I would understand it.'
Frederick walked to the reception and asked for a phone-book for New York. When he get it he walked back to his room. He met his parents in front of thier room.
"A Frederick, we wanted to go for a walk. Do you want to come with us?" his mother asked. "And for what do you need the phone-book?"
"Ahhhmmm.... I have to call someone! I stay in the room, I'm tired." he said and walked into the room.
When his parents leaved the scene, Frederick start to search Jake's nummber. But there where more than 30 different Longs alone in New York.
"Ouch... that will be a long day!" he said to himself and start to call, all Longs who stand in the phone book.
The Bosnian-Dragon sat with his both human friends, on a couch in his apartment in the centre of Sarajevo. For hours, they sat here and talked above Frederick. They knowed that Jake have to decide about him. Since months they hoped that he will remember. They had a very bad conscience, because they have to lie on him.
"Did you heared something from Frederick?" the dragon asked (in thier language).
"Unfortunately, no! Since days. And I can't arrive him at home or on his mobile! There is nobody. And he doesn't answer our E-Mails. I hope he is not mad on us!" one of them anserwed.
"Maybe the American-Dragon, don't told it him yet? Or he is just not at home!" the other boy said. "We should ask him!"
"Okay, we have the phone-nummbers of all dragons in our phone-book. Who of us can speak English better?"
When the Longs sat down on the table, Jake's mother asked how he decide. Jake looked very angrily at her and Haley told her she should not talk above this. During the Longs eat, the phone start to rang. Jonathan stood up and took the phone.
"Hello!"
"...Hello! Is... Jake... home...?" a boy said with a strange accent.
"Who is there?... O, I remember! Yes... he is... home!... Jake it's for you!!!... from Europe."
"Europe?" Jake asked and get the phone from his father. When his father sat at the table again, he start to talk... "Hello! Jake Long speaking!"
"Hello... American-Dragon... we... friends of... Frederick... do... you... remember... us...?"
"Ohh... yes, right... you are the human supporters from Bosnia... Frederick's friends... ahhhh... Dumrir, right?"
"Damir!"
"Yes, howsoever... what do you want? I don't talked with Frederick and..."
"Do you... mean... that he still do not know... it?"
"Yes! Why?" Jake asked.
"We... emmm... miss him! We can not arrive him... on phone, or with E-Mail. He dis-ap-eared!" Damir said and Jake understand what he mean.
"Okay, I will... look for him! Understand. And, if something is wrong... I call you! Understand?" Jake anserwed.
"Yes... you call back! I understand." the bosnian boy said and hang off.
Jake hanged off and called Trixie and Spud. They should met him in one hour, in his house.
After Frederick called 20 different Long's he gived up. He walked to the window and looked at the dark sky. The snowstorm got ever heavier and Frederick could see that they close the slopes and paths. When he sat down again, the phone rang. Surprised, he took the phone.
"Hello? Who is there?" Frederic asked.
"... you know who I am!" a evil voice said and hang off.
Frederick was shocked. That was impossible. He ran back to the window, and saw his parents walking back to the hotel. If they stay in the hotel, they are safe, maybe. Frederick ran out of the room threw the hotel. He was near. Than, Frederick could hear a loud noise outside the building. When he look out of the window, Frederick could see a big white wall of snow rolling down the mountain, directy in his way.
"AVALANCHE!!!" someone in the near shoutet.
