Sorry for the delay.
Chapter 10
"Now, Gaia barely tells me anything, everything is a mystery. But I do know that Gaia has an uncle, that's Oliver, and the Oliver version is supposed to be the nice caring uncle. So Loki went into a coma and came out as Oliver. He felt bad about all the stuff he did and Gaia believed him. I even believed him. But then he started to show signs of Loki. So now he's Loki."
"Who is Loki?"
"He's the one responsible for all the shit in Gaia's life."
"Could you elaborate?"
Ed counted off on his fingers. "He shot Mary, Ella, kidnapped Sam, even though we thought he was dead, that was until he escaped and showed up. Uh, he tried to kill me, well, a whole bunch of other stuff."
"Will he try to kill Gaia?"
"I don't know. I mean, he's had so many chances, I mean he's had spys follow her for years, so he would have, I mean he had all those chances. Gaia thinks that he wants her to, like, join forces with him or something."
"Would she?"
"I'm sorry, have you met Gaia Moore? Hell no, she won't."
"Are you two going out?"
Pause. "We were."
"Because in Gaia's note to you, she said-"
"Wait, a note. Oh, yeah, of course she wrote a note. She's done that twice now. Write a mini note, say 'I'm sorry, I have to leave, can't explain, bye.' Try to get it to me and run before I can catch up. Except I guess she didn't get it to me this time."
"Ed, I know you don't want to help us, but could you give us any idea's as to where Gaia might be?"
"Try subways, the park, and anywhere where there would be a fight. Oh, and bring Crispy Cream doughnuts."
"Doughnuts?"
"Yeah, the chocolate glazed ones, and get a boxful. Trust me, you offer it, she will most likely come out if she hasn't eaten much."
Will chuckled and said, "Thanks for the tip."
