Chapter VI: The Sign
The dizziness went away and when I got up Saint's body was gone.
"This has been a rough night, I must be seeing things."
I was walking back home when somebody grabbed me from behind.
"Get your hands off!" I yelled and punched him in the face.
"OUCH!"
"Maverick?!" I recognized the voice; he always got hurt.
"Yeah, thanks a million, Thomas," it seems that my nickname had gotten old.
"Are those your sunglasses on the ground? It's dark and with those I'm surprised you're not walking into things."
He picked them up and we walked to my house together. Right off the bat he started talking about machines, the "code", and where he's been.
"Thomas, I've found someone who can help you get out too."
"Maverick, you've completely lost your mind! You know all of this talk has gotten everybody in trouble! They killed Saint!"
Maverick looked at me, "Who's they?"
"These guys, some CIA agents or something."
"No, not Saint," he lowered his head.
"Maverick they're looking for you."
"I've gotta get of here. Where's the nearest pay phone?"
"About four blocks that way."
"Thanks."
He started walking, but something caught his eye.
"Mr. Lawrence!"
My head started spinning, my body went numb, and I must have blacked out at that moment.
