The D, and Me. 2.
Okay, so you know how this all started. So now, KG and JB are in MY house, arguing about I don't know what, while I stand here confused and pretty clueless. They quietly argued with each other for a few minutes before looking and me, what were they thinking? What are they going to do with me?
"Lemme show you somethin' kid," Kyle said suddenly, breaking the odd silence between us.
"See this?" he asked, holding out his arm and pointing to the joint of his wrist, on the back of his hand. There was an oddly shaped scar, it looked like a guitar pick, a triangle guitar pick to be exact.
"Now I can't tell you what it means yet, but do you have a scar like this?"
"Just a sec," I replied as I walked in to the other room to check myself out.
"Yeah actually, it's right here" I said showing him the scar on the back of my neck as I walked back out, several minutes later. It was an ark shaped pick, you know the ones, one edge pointed, the other curved.
Kyle's eyes opend as he almost fell in to the chair behind him.
"We gotta talk dude," Jack said to me, as if he didn't want Kyle to hear him.
"The scar on you neck... It's not just an ordinary scar," He exclaimed, "look." he pointed to his bicep on his left arm, there was a scar on him too, but it wasn't like the scar on Kyle or me, it was shaped like... A microphone? I could see the vivid image of a microphone head on his arm. "These scars are the three most legendary f***cking scars on this side of the universe. The one I have is passed down through generations of singers, lead singers, a bet you Sting has one, or that dude from ACDC. Yours on the other hand is for pasionate lead guitarists that become the fastest most awesome players. And Kyle's... Well lets just say he shouldn't be playing lead guitar." I looked over to see how Kyle was doing. His eyes were still wide, and he was sitting in my chair scratching his head as if he was solving the world greatest mystery, wich to him it probably was.
"Kage, I think it's about the time we scadadled outta here" Jack said gesturing for the door.
"Yeah... yeah, be there is a sec..." Jack walked out with Kyle's guitar and looked back at me for a second before leaving my sight through the doorway.
"Where's you parents, Austin?" Kage asked me.
"Dad's in Alberta working and my mom is out at the store... Why?"
"Come with us," he said to me "you need to learn more about this.."
"But.. mom doesn't have her cell with her..." I said sadly, "But I can just leave a note." I said with a grin. I quickly jotted down a note for my mom, that said "Hey, leaving, bye..." but I thought that was kinda subtle and a little harsh, so I cumplede up the paper and got another one for a new note, "I'll call you later, I'll explain why I'm gone."
I figured it was convincing enough, even though I knew it wasn't for her.
I ran out of the house, locked to the door and jumped in the back of a sweet car Kyle and Jack bought after a gig in Toronto. It was chrome black with gold plated rims. It was a convertible, Farari I think, and the inside was covered in red fur and leather dash board. It was amazing, probably worth 200 to 300 thousand dollars. But where were we headed? I asked Jabbles where we were going but he just looked at me and said "Surprise."
What did he mean by "Surprise"? Did he know it was my 13th birthday at the end of the month?
Or did he have something in store for me because of these scars? Ugh, this is confusing...
To be continued...
