April 2017, Sacred Hope Hospital

It's been another 2 months since the shit went down at the weed farm in California. I've been in a Coma after Daniel knocked us all over on the farm. I'm now blind in my right eye and I've been recovering and learning how to see again with the help of Joey, my nurse who always comes to check on me. He's nice and I trust him and we get along well.

It's my last day at the hospital before I get discharged, as my eye is recovered. I'm done for. The police have found me. A FBI agent, Agent Flores, her name has been grilling me for information the past three weeks. She still thinks I killed the cop back in Seattle all those months ago, only because I keep covering for Daniel. I could be going to jail for life. For something I didn't do if I give in and go to Court tomorrow for my hearing.

I got questioned and grilled about everything at the Weed Farm all over again. They even showed me photographs of Finn, Cassidy, Penny and Hannah . Everybody except for Jacob somehow. They couldn't find him or Daniel either. There's no news despite a search party of him over four states. He's gone off the radar. I've lost him. I got to find him back.

While Agent Flores was outside with the call, I looked closely at the photographs and mugshots she had shown me. Turns out I don't know my friends at all. Lucy Jones. That's Cassidy's real name, and Penny he was called Baptist Dean Micheal . They all used fake names except for Hannah who was really called Hannah. I should have used a fake name too instead of my real one, just like in that shelter huh.

After a routine afternoon checkup, Joey snuck back my Journal through the bathroom towel. I was about to begin another sketch when I found a secret message written by Jacob inside. Apparently he had taken Daniel with him to Haven Point, a safer place where he could be in Nevada. I instantly knew I had to escape and get out of there, to find Daniel again and let him know I was alive and ok. I'm not going to let the cops separate us again. I'm going to find him and we are going to go to Puerto Lobos together like we planned. Just need to get out of the hospital

Right, Nightfall. Perfect chance. Don't screw this up. You only have one chance before they take you away tomorrow. Holding in a deep breath, I pressed the call button to call Joey in.

He came in all cheery expecting something else, until my stressed expression gave it away. As soon as I told him my plan to escape, everything changed. He was stern with me and lost all his friendliness . I was starting to think that I was making a mistake, when at the very last second he gave in to my begs and my pleas and we came up with a plan where I pretend to knock him out with a pipe, so he doesn't get into trouble for letting me escape. I did so while the guard was on a cigarette break, quickly grabbing my stuff while carjacking another Nurse's car.

Thanks Joey, I owe you man.

I'm now out from the hospital and am driving on the highway. So far so good, no cops after me. It's been two days. I wonder what they did with Joey and the staff, if they interviewed everyone about What happened to me? No time to think on that I have to keep going, as far as this car will let me I have only a quarter of a tank of fuel left. Let's hope I make it to Haven Point without having to walk. I'm nearly there just a few hours away.

After two days on the road and driving, I decided to park on a secluded spot in the desert and get some quick Z's before I would continue in the morning to Haven point with the last leg of fuel to find Daniel. Only for some Racist fuckers to beat me up again.

I dreamt about Dad and about Lyla and home. Everything before Shit went down. It was almost like an alternate reality if he never died that's what life would have been like. In my dream, I wasn't blind, I could still see, My hair was short like it used to be and Dad and I were getting along well. We were on a boys trip driving down the road . I was driving the new hot rod that he had prepared for me for after graduation, and we were talking about life. I just miss him so much. It felt good to see him again in my sleep.

Dad - "Boys talk. So how are things going with that you know, you and Jenn girl?" Dad asked me in my dream

I laughed, chuckling and sighing as I continued driving down the road. "We didn't work out. We didn't get to see each other enough but it was going good for a while"

Dad looked at me awkwardly not knowing what to say. "Oh. I'm sorry about that Son. She seemed like a nice girl"

"It's Ok Dad. I'm dating Lyla now if you haven't heard" I reassured Dad looking over at him

"Lyla?" He looked back at me in surprise "Really, well in that case I am happy for you Sean" Dad smiled at me patting me on the shoulder

'Thanks Dad" I smiled back at him in the dream

"Oops. The phone's ringing. Hello?" Dad answered picking up the phone and putting it on speaker

'Hello" Lyla answered as I smiled at the sound of Lyla's voice on the other end

"Hello Lyla, I heard you're dating Sean now is that right?" Dad asked Lyla through the phone

"That's right. How is my Seany Boy doing? Is he keeping safe on the road?" Lyla replied back to Dad

"Aha he drives really slow like a Grandma does. But we're doing good. We'll hit you up once we reach the motel ok" Dad said teasing me to Lyla

"Dad, stop. I don't drive like a Grandma. I'm going slow as not to crash the car" I protested to him as Dad let out a laugh

"Bye babe Love you" Lyla called out to me

"Love you too!" I called out to Lyla as Dad hung up the phone.

Dad was about to speak to me more when the sound of a bearded man on the windshield woke me up, bringing me back to reality. Or more like jolting me back to reality. No time to think on that.

I was about to bail out of there, when he put his phone to the ear about to ring the cops. I can't have that. They can't find me not now, Not after how far I've come. So I just gave in to his stupid demands.

Chad, the racist asshole was called and his accomplice Mike. First they tried to rob me, emptying the car and my backpack. That was bad enough. Then came the mocking and the insults. It was humiliating. Asshole tried to speak to me in badly accented Spanish, not making any sense at all when he saw that I was Mexican. He then asked me for a "Spanish Lesson" I told him in Spanish to go Fuck his Mother not that he understood.

His final request was for me to sing a song in Spanish, if i did he would let me go without hurting me. Of course I wasn't going to give in to that, Jerks. They can eat dirt. Well I got my ass kicked again because I refused just like with Hank Stamper. Bloody rednecks all over the place.

I then crawled to my car and got the fuck out of there as fast as I could, No longer safe for me anymore. I have to keep moving.

The car ran out of fuel just when I'm 3 hours away from Haven Point. Fuck this shit I am so done. It's so hot out there and my feet kill , my throat is as dry as sandpaper , and I'm badly burnt from the desert sun. My skin is all pink all over and my back and body is all bruised from those punks . I've been fortunate enough not to run into any more besides the odd animal that happens to go past and car very occasionally. The road is empty. There's literally nothing here.

I'm 22 miles from the nearest town according to the Billboard sign I am sitting under. I needed a sit down and some time in the shade. The heat is killing me. Ah it feels so good to be away from the sun even if it's for a bit. Alright, I rested enough. Time to move again.

I didn't move very far until a truck carrying timber stopped by. A trucker by the name of Anton picked me up. Another nice guy like Brody gave me a lift to Haven point and we sat there in his car talking for an hour. The sandwich he had was so good. His wife makes such nice food. I am so thankful that he came along, honestly I was stumbling and could barely walk at that point . I don't think I would of made it this far without him.

Easter 2017, Haven Point.

Right, I am at Haven now. It's a small town with not much besides a Church . Daniel must be in the church right? Holy shit, you will not believe what they have done to Daniel. I hardly recognized the guy when I finally saw him at the end of the service. He's grown up and changed so much . He has a ridiculous haircut now , but it is so good to see him again. We hugged and embraced each other but our bittersweet reunion has been cut short.

Turns out Lisbeth Fischer the new Reverend here has brainwashed and manipulated Daniel in the two months that I have been gone. Daniel believes the crazy stupid ass crap that they put into his head that he is God's Child. He is gifted blah blah blah and now he doesn't want to leave the church and wants to stay with Lisbeth. This wasn't as easy as going to Haven and collecting him. Even Jacob said so. He used to be part of this cult but escaped to the weed farm. He knows how dangerous Lisbeth can be and he's right.

The man who so welcomed me into the church , kicked me out when Lisbeth ordered him to and he threatened me at gunpoint and locked the door. These are dangerous people who will stop at nothing to keep my brother and I hate to say it but I can't do this alone I need help.

Turns out Jacob contacted Karen while I was gone. Daniel had shown him the letter from Beaver Creek and Jacob had sent a letter to Karen begging her and pleading for her help. Finally after 8 years and my dad's death does she care to come back for Daniel and me. Wow. I'm still angry and haven't forgiven her for what she did walking out on us years ago leaving all of us heartbroken. But for Daniel's sake I'm putting up with it. And I'm not welcome in the church so I need assistance.

She tried to be nice to me, taking me to a Motel, buying me new clothes and getting me the burger I so liked to eat when I was a kid. But what use is it now? Where was she when me and Daniel were sick, Where was she when I broke my leg a few years back? In Arizona that's where she was. Dad had to pick up the pieces and now he's dead.

And me and Daniel are on the run, this is all her fault that I'm in the situation I am in. Anyway I have no choice. Jacob said we were to meet in the church tomorrow after class to try and rescue Daniel and his sister. So be it, we rescue Daniel then get the hell away from here. Tomorrow.

Again, rescuing Daniel wasn't as easy as it sounds. It always doesn't come without Chaos and Shit. Today I killed someone for the first time. I shot Lisbeth when she tried to stop us leaving with Daniel. I didn't want Daniel to use his power again and freak Karen out even more she's already as confused as she is and having a hard time with accepting Daniel's power I didn't want to add to it. I am sorry for what I've done but after everything and how far we came, I wasn't going to let her stop us.

With Daniel and Sarah Lee rescued it was time to say Goodbye to Jacob. Karen took us to Away, her new trailer park and camp in Arizona right out in the desert. It's different living with a bunch of hippies over here. It's so quiet and peaceful, away from the outside world. For a month we could just forget about everything although with everything it wouldn't last long. The cops were onto us again.
