Thrown Sand
A week had gone by, and no word from Gene to bring the book back to work so they could study it again. They came up with the brilliant conclusion that Sara must have written the further journals down in order to provide anyone with clues in case something happened to her via Frank. Gene's vacation was coming up, Alex's as well, but Alex already chalked up to having no plans and planned to mope around her place the whole time. That was, until Gene showed up at her place.
'Want to go to Manchester?" He asked her.
"Why, what for?"
"To have our vacation, and for me to tell you first hand what happened when we went to the PD to make reports back in 73."
'Isn't that the next entry," Alex began. "I do want to hear it straight from your what happened."
So, some time later, and they were in Manchester. Gene got turned around a couple of times, it being awhile since he traveled back here. He drove slowly past a brown façade of buildings. "There is there it went down," He reported. "Sam, Sara, and I were drive past this place from the other way. We were on our way to the PD." Alex peered out of the window on her side to see the area gene was pointing at. "On the way Sam claimed that Frank was standing around, but the rest of us paid it no mind. We decided to gather up Chris on our way because he was in danger too. Sara makes me stop the car and run out. We get there and some," Gene calls them men a swear word, "Are trying to carry off Chris and his bird!"
"Oh my God," Alex began, clapping her hand over her mouth, "What happened then?"
"Hell broke loose," Gene stated matter of fact while making a U-turn. "We caught up to them and gave them a beating of their lives. I saw Sara hit one of them so hard, he lifted off the ground. Said it was Adrenaline, she did." They pulled up next to a new looking building. "That's it, the pub was used to hang out in." Gene added.
"So did Chris and his date make it out ok?"
"Yeah, we saved them. Some cheap-shot threw dirt in his eyes. We found out that someone has been paying these Divs to fight and kidnap anyone dealing with Sam and I. We made the statements too. And of course, we turned back to Sara and she was already gone."
Alex nodded, "So was the things you read the other day true to what happened?"
"Definitely, and she's not delusional. She was strange because she acted like she never knew what things around her were, like her mind was light years ahead of them." Alex was thinking if he knew the truth, his blood pressure and everything would shoot through the roof.
