Fae Renfield was dressed in a short black skirt, fishnet stockings and a thick black trenchcoat when Tyler met her outside the coffee shop at 6:02. She was examining a sign on the door proclaiming the wonders of their eco-organic café lattes before he arrived, and as soon as he was within sight her attention was fully focused on him.
Once inside she ordered a eco-organic French vanilla white mocha latte and took a seat at a square table by the biggest window. Tyler had a cup of black coffee, and sat beside her reluctantly.
"Fae, I can't stay long, I have things to do and-"
"I don't expect you to stay." She said, taking a sip from her cup. "I just wanted to prove a theory and I did. Well, you did." She smirked evily. "You see, Tyler Sims, I've been observing you and your friends for a while now, and I've known for a long time that there was something up with you, I just couldn't place my finger on it." Another sip. "But now I have, thanks to your silly public display."
"What are you talking about?"
"Science, second period this morning. First you scared Maddie Sparrow, who has never been scared of anything in her life. Made her almost run for her life, you did. Then when the frog was flying a direct course for her it stopped in mid-air and fell straight down to the floor. And then five minutes ago when that car stopped a centimeter before it hit that child." She paused, savoring the feeling her last sentence had when it was in her mouth. "And I caught it all on tape."
Tyler choked on his coffee
"What?"
"You heard me. I, Fae Renfield, have found what was so special about those 'sons of Ipswtch'. After years of research, I have the proof, thanks to a silly little boy who wasn't responsible enough. You used your power in public, and thanks to a handy camera phone I have you, your myseterious temporary black eyes and your saving the day on tape." She finished the last of her coffee and stood. "Toodles, Tyler Sims."
She walked out the coffee shop and Tyler didn't make a move to stop her.
What have I done?
His hand twitched around the coffee cup and he started shaking.
I just condemned us all. Pogue, Caleb, Reid… Were all dead meat now!
He closed his eyes. There had to be a way to stop her. There had to be, and if anyone knew it would be Caleb.
He stood briskly from his seat, left a few coins as a tip and walked out of the store, heading for his truck and then Caleb's house.
Caleb woke up groggily when the doorbell to his house rang in the middle of the night. He slipped on a shirt, remembered his hands in time to put on some gloves and head down the large staircase towards the front door, where the bell chimed again.
"Tyler?"
He half expected it to be Pogue, or Reid, or even Sarah, but not Tyler, who was afraid of all of them and didn't want to do anything wrong or disappointing.
"Caleb we have a serious problem."
He explained the whole Fae Renfield problem in a nutshell while Caleb made coffee in his kitchen, his hands twitching on the mugs from the pain and the shock.
"Youre kidding right?"
"I'm not, and Caleb I am so sorry I-"
"Don't say anything." Caleb retorted coldly. "You've done enough."
With that he walked back up to his room and left Tyler alone in his kitchen, shocked at his friend's sudden anger. He sat awkwardly at his kitchen table, two mugs of fuming black coffee in front of him.
You know you mess up when Caleb hates you. He thought bitterly as he stepped out of the house.
