"Letters from London"
Chapter 3-Opening Adam's Mail
POST OFFICE
Jesse put the key into Adam's PO Box lock and turned it. Inside there was a single envelope with the same address as the other letters and packages he had been picking up for Adam. Jesse locked up the box and headed back to the car. Jesse got in and turned to Emma, "you ready?"
"Yeah, Jess, do you know what's with these letters?"
"No. All I know is that they come almost everyday and they come from London."
"Letters from London?" Emma said examining the envelope.
"It's always that same address, too," Jesse told her.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
Emma turned over the envelope in her hand and then got a hit off of it. In her mind she saw Shalimar crying and a girl behind her with short, curly, light brown hair and brown eyes all dressed in white. A woman with dark brown curly hair dressed in black, she had her hand on the girl's right shoulder, and Adam dressed in his usual black with his hand on the child's left shoulder. Emma shook her head and tried to make sense of what she had seen.
"Emma?" Jesse asked concerned.
"I got a hit off of the envelope..."
"What did you see?"
"Shalimar was crying and Adam, a woman, and a child were behind her."
"What does it mean?" Jesse asked.
Emma turned the envelope over in her hands wishing she knew what it said, "I don't know." Emma kept examining it knowing it held the key to what she had seen. "Hey, Jess, you couldn't phase the envelope, could you?"
"Probably, why?"
"He's been keeping stuff from us, why don't we see what it is?"
"Emma..."
"What if it's important? What if we SHOULD know?"
"Come on," Jesse said and then thought about it, "okay." Emma smiled and watched as Jesse phased out with the envelope. Emma reached in and quickly pulled out the paper inside. "What does it say?"
"It says:
Adam-
So, she's three years old now. Yesterday, I let her visit this high class preschool and somehow one of the boys knocked over a candle they had lit, it spread around her and, Sierra hid in the corner frozen in fear. When I got there she was still frozen in place and the little boy that knocked over the candle said that her eyes glowed. I've been trying to raise her in a proper and intellectual enviroment, so the feral side of her hasn't come out before. She was scared, and I think her abilities are starting to shift. But we talked about it and she seemed to understand. I wanted to inform you that other than engish, she can also speak french and sign American Sign Language. The sign language I've been teaching her, but the french she apparently picked it up from my talking on the phone and when my friends from Paris have visited. She can also read, write, and of course color. And of course she's turning into such a beautiful child! Expect a package soon, I'll e-mail when it arrives. See you in twenty-four weeks.
your sister,
Eve"
"Oh my god!" Jesse said in shock falling back in his seat.
"Sierra's alive!" Emma said.
"But Sierra's not three years old, yet. She would only be...like nine months old."
"But remember when Adam accelerated Shalimar's pregnancy? What if it hasn't stopped, yet?"
"Well, she's coming in six months."
"Here," Emma said handing Jesse the letter. Jesse looked back at it, but handed it back to Emma. "Okay, let's put it back," Emma said and as Jesse phased with the envelope Emma noticed something, so she pulled it out. "It's a picture of Sierra! Oh, she's SO cute!" Emma said showing Jesse the picture, "can we go get her, so that we can play with her?"
"Yeah, Adam won't mind if we go to London, track down his sister, and kidnap Shalimar's daughter that we thought was dead, somehow I can't picture him saying go right ahead," Jesse told her.
"Well, let's put them back, and head home to talk to Adam."
"What about lunch and shopping?"
"We'll do it later."
