Saturday October 22nd 1977 11:51 P.M. Walking into my house, I fell on the couch and looked up at the roof and let out a sigh. I was having such a hard time with everything that has been going on the last few days. And I had a feeling that this was only going to get harder. I got up and saw I didn't get my mail yet for today. I walked over to the door and open my mail box next to the front door. Walking up to my room, I turned the water on in the tub and go out some night time clothes. As the tub was filling up, I sat on the bed and started to look through my mail.
"Trash... trash... garbage... oh! junk, haven't gotten that in a while." I said throwing it in the trash can. The last one caught my eye. it was yellow. I was a little baffled by this so I opened it up. My heart started to race when I saw who it was from. "Mina..." I said Holding the letter in my hand. I walked back into the bathroom and turned the water off and put the letter next to the tub on a table. I got undressed and hoped in making sure not to hurt my side by the hot water. After a few seconds getting my wound used to the water, I grabbed Mina's letter and started to read it...
"Dear Samuel, how have you been? I just got to my grandparents' house and my mom is unloading the car so I thought I would write you a later so she would not see me. It took us two hours to get here and I'm a little sleepy so I'm going to go to bed after I'm done writing to you. Even though it was my birthday, I couldn't call you. My mom would not let me, but I will try to call you sometime when I get a chance. How is everyone doing? Did you solve your case yet? Me and my mom had a birthday party with grandma and grandpa. I haven't had a birthday party with them sense I was six! Can you believe that? Ha ha! Anyway, the party was good. It was just the four of us but guess what my grandparents got me? A necklace with a Yellow Opal in the shape of a cross with a heart on top of it! How cool is that!? My grandma said it was passed down from her mom and her mom etc, etc. I love it. but not as much as your birthday gift that you got me all those years ago. Well I better get going before I get caught. Take care and remember, the goddess Venus will always watch over you." Love Mina.
As I sat in the tub, I felt like 200 pounds of stress was taken off of me. Mina seems to be getting happier and I'm glad that she wrote to me. I told myself that I would write her a letter tomorrow. Come to think of it. I haven't had a day off in a long time. As I got out of the tub, I told myself that I would take a day or two off and rest up my body. I Put on my clothes and walked over to my bed. I slowly got into my bed and put Mina's letter on my night stand and put my glasses on the letter and turn out the lights. I rolled over on my good side and went to sleep knowing that Mina was okay...
Sunday October 23rd 1977 11:09 A.M. Waking up to the sound of my phone, I leaned up and picked up the phone. "Hello?" I said rubbing my eyes. "Good Morning Mr. Ownby."
"Michelle?" I said looking a little surprised. "Are you ok after what happened last night?"
"Yes, well I'm still in the hospital but I'm going to be getting out later tonight."
"That's great, do you have someone to pick you up?" Michelle went quite for a little bit. "...Ya, Amara is picking me up." I couldn't see her but I just knew she was blushing. "Well that's good, I'll talk to you later tonight ok?"
"Sure ok, but are you going into the office today?"
"No, I'm going to take a day or two off so I can rest up and get better."
"Ya, me too, I'm not use to getting shot at like you are heh, heh."
"Ok, then you take care and I'll talk to you later ok?"
"Ok, I will Samuel."
"Bye Michelle."
"Bye" *click* I fell down back into my bed and looked up at the ceiling and started to think to myself what I was going to do today. After a few more minutes of lying in bed, I slowly got out of my bed and went downstairs. After putting some pop tarts in the toaster, I went into the living room and turned on the T.V. They were showing some happy days episodes on for a few hours. After grabbing my pop tarts I walked into the living room and sat down and enjoyed the show.
*2 hours later* After turning off the T.V. I went to the bathroom and put on some fresh clothes. After getting some water out of the fridge, I sat down at the table with a piece of paper and a pencil and started to write Mina her letter...
"Dear Mina. You don't know how happy it makes me to hear from you, Well I would tell you how everything was going but you would get scared and would worry about me. heh heh. But what I will tell you is this. Serena was kidnapped and people are trying to kill me and some other people. Well enough of that sad stuff. How is living with your grandparents going? Are they nice people? That necklace sounds really cool! I can't wait to see it. When you get a chance to call me, call on my home or office phone and I will try my best to be there by it. I'm taking the day off from working the case to rest up a little bit, but I will get back to work in a day or two. Anyway I have to go. Someone is coming over to see me and I have to clean my house. Take care and be safe Mina. Love Sammy."
I looked over the letter and smiled. I put it in a Mina's yellow envelope so she would know it was from me and put the return address on it and put it in the mail box.
Walking back in, I looked up at the clock and saw It was already 1:45. I decided I would clean up a little bit before Amara showed up, grabbing the broom, I went into the kitchen and started to sweep. just then, the phone started to ring. I walked over and picked it up as i put the broom down. "Hello?"
"Hey Samuel."
"Oh hey Trista, whats up?"
"I just wanted to call you and say that I'm free tomorrow if you can do our lunch date that I promised you."
"Oh tomorrow? ya I can. what time did you want to meet up?"
"I'm not sure yet. but I will call you tomorrow morning and let you know. sound good?"
"Ya that's fine."
"Ok sweet. see you tomorrow." Trista said in a flirty tone as she hung up. I hung up the phone and walked back to the kitchen, thinking what kind of things where going to happen to me at lunch tomorrow with Trista...
*15 minutes later...* After I got done with the laundry, I heard the doorbell ring. *ding dong* "I'm coming!" I said walking to the door. I opened the door to see Amara smiling at me. "What's up?" Amara said leaning on the door frame. "Hey Amara." I said letting her in. "So this is where you live huh?" Amara said looking around while I shut the door. "Ya, it gets me by." I said walking over to the table. "How is your side doing?" Amara said following me. "It feels a lot better, which is weird because it's only been two days." I said opening the fridge. "You want anything to drink?" I said looking back at Amara who was looking at some pictures on the wall. "Sure, you got anything with some kick?"
"Ya, I got just the thing." I said pulling out some 7-up and some Pepsi. Amara picks up a picture of me and Mina when we were still going to school together. "Who's the cute girl?" Amara said still looking at the picture. "Which one?" I said looking over. "Oh, that one. that's Mina. she was a childhood friend that grew up with me." I said pouring two cups of 7-up/Pepsi. "She sure is cute." Amara said putting the picture back and walking over to the table and sitting down as I handed her, her cup. "So what's this big news that you wanted to tell me so badly?" I said taking a sip. "Well last night at the restaurant... after me and Lita got done wiping everyone, we got one to talk. but as he was about to tell us who was behind this, someone shot him in the neck with a poison arrow dart."
"Really? did you see who it was?"
"Ya but I had no idea who he was." Amara said sipping her cup.
"What did he look like?"
"He had long white hair and looked about six feet and in his mid-30's."
"Did you tell Trista when you got back to the station?"
"Ya, she looked through her files and R&I but we had no body with white hair on record."
"Ok, well did that guy say anything before he died?"
"All he said was that the Queen wants you and Lita dead because you were getting to close to finding out were they were going to set it up?"
"Lita is in on this?" I said a little shocked. "I don't know... but Lita is not telling you the full story about her." Amara said looking down at her cup. "Well I will ask her about this the next time I see her." I said talking a sip. "So what were they going to set up?" I said raising an eyebrow. "I wish I knew..." Amara said sipping her cup. "What we need is more info about who these men are and what they want out of all of this."
"Well I will give Ray a call and see if she has found anything out yet."
"Also we need someone to diagnose these people so we know who we are dealing with."
"Well... I know someone who might be able to help out with that." I said looking over at the wall taking a sip. "How soon can you find out from them?"
"I'll give them a call later tonight or tomorrow and see if they have plans for the next few days and I'll go from there."
"Great, the more help we have, the better chance we have of saving Serena and Darien." Amara said drinking the last of her cup. "Hey Amara?" I said looking down at the table. "Ya?"
"Do you ever get a feeling that... sometimes you know what's going to happen?" I said not looking at her. Amara was a little taking back by my question. "Well..." Amara said looking out my window and looking at my wind chime slowly moving in the breeze. "When I was just eight years old... I was outside playing with my next-door neighbor, she was a nice girl who went to school with me...we were playing catch when I threw the ball too far and it went over the fence. she said she would go get it, but the thing was that beyond that fence was the yard of a man who like to kidnap little girls..." I could tell Amara was getting a little sad by the look in her eyes.
"I told her not to go, but she told me she would be ok, it was almost ten minutes later and she was still not back. I didn't know what to do... I was so young and scared. but then I felt something. I felt the wind brush up against my check. I don't know how... but at that moment I knew that my friend was in trouble."
"Really?" I said raising an eyebrow. "So what did you do?"
"I ran to the fence and started to climb it as I felt the wind was lifting me up. Almost like it was trying to help me. When I got to the top, I saw my friend being pulled into the house. she was knocked out as he man was dragging her by her hair into his house with that sick smile he had on is face...I hopped the fence and started to run to the door, I didn't know what I was doing but I knew I just had to save my friend, I get to the door and kick it open and saw him tying her up. then I heard someone... I heard someone talking to me. it felt like I knew this person. this voice that was talking in my head. I knew what I had to do. I grabbed a baseball bat off the ground and walked up behind him and..."
Amara went quite for a few minutes. it seemed that she was trying to decide whether or not to tell me. like I would think less of her because of it. Amara looked back at me and looked me in the eye. like she was trying to read my mind. "Well I need to get going." Amara said standing up. "Wait, did you save your friend from that guy?" I said standing up to. Amara looked out the window again and said in a soft voice. "I saved one life and ended another life that day, Which one I saved I'll leave up to you." Amara said walking over to the door. I knew I would have to ask about this later with her. So I put that in the back of my mind and started to walk Amara to the front door.
"Where are you going to be if something comes up?" I said opening the front door. "I'm going to go pick up Michelle later tonight and then I'm going to try to find out more about that man..." Amara said walking out the door. "Call Trista and tell her anything that you find out and she will tell me later today." Amara said looking back at me. "Ok, see ya Amara."
"Peace." Amara said hoping into her car and drove off like she was in a race. I closed the door and walked over to the couch and sat down looking at the T.V. even though it wasn't on. After about two minutes, I got up and decided I would give Ray a call and see how she was doing on that vision stuff. I walked over to the phone and picked it up and dialed Ray's phone number.
*555-6933* *Ring, ring* *Ring, ring* *ring-* "Hello?" I could tell right away that it was Ray. "Hey Ray, it's Samuel."
"Samuel? Is there a reason that you are calling me?"
"I wanted to know if you got any new visions that might help me out at all." Ray went quite. Knowing her, that only could mean one thing... "Ray?"
"Ya I'm here. I did see something but... I need to tell you in person. can we meet?" I looked up at the clock and saw it was 2:57. "Ya, you can either come see me at my house today or I can meet you at your place tomorrow sometime."
"Well I got something to do today so how about you just come over tomorrow around 4:00?"
"Ya, I can do that."
"Ok. I'll see you tomorrow then."
"Ok, bye Ray." *click* As I hung up the phone, I knew that something happened in her vision. Ray never wants to talk about her visions in person unless...
I decided I would call Amy at 4:00 so she could have time to get her homework done and anything she had to do around the house. I just hope that she still wants to help out. I went upstairs and started to fold my clothes that got done drying. *1 Hour later...* Looking up at the clock I saw it was 4:02. I put my clothes away back in my drawer and went back downstairs and walked over to the phone.
*555-9119* *ring, ring* "Hello, Amy specking."
"Hey Amy, It's Samuel."
"Oh hey Samuel, It's nice to hear from you again."
"You too, hey I was wondering...do you still want to help me out with this case?"
"Ya, sure, well, as long as I don't get into trouble or end up in the hospital."
"Oh no, I just need some help diagnosing some people and that way I know what kind of guy I'm dealing with."
"Oh ok then, so do you have someone for me to diagnose right now?"
"Well no, I was hoping you could meet me at the police station on Tuesday and we can start from there."
"Ok sure. I have school, so i should be able to after I get out. what time do you want me to meet you there?"
"I'm not sure, I will have to call you back tomorrow and tell you then, is that ok with you?"
"Ya, that will be fine."
"Ok, I'll see you later."
"Ok, bye Samuel."
"Bye Amy." *click* After I hung up the phone, I looked at clock and saw I still have half a day left. So I cleaned my house. I washed the dishes, vacuumed all the floors, took out the trash and made my bed. After I was all done with that, I watch some T.V. Till It was 11:44. I turned off the T.V. and went upstairs and put on some night time clothes and got into bed and went to sleep knowing I had a big day tomorrow...
Monday October 24th 1977 10:58 P.M. Waking up to the sun shining in my window, I got up and rubbed my eyes and thought it was a perfect day for lunch. I got up and walked into the bathroom and checked my wound. To my surprise, the wound was all healed! "What the?" I said touching it as it only felt like a bug was biting me. When I was younger, I would always get cut up from playing with Mina in her back yard. And they would always heal overnight. I never put too much thought into it though. My mom said that someone was healing me with powers, I thought she was kidding, but still...
As I took the bandage off, I hopped in the shower and tried to wake up. After 10 minutes, I hopped out and put on a pair of white shorts and a blue T-shirt with a white stripe across the middle. I put on my black shoes and walked downstairs. Looking over at the phone, I saw I had one missed call. I pushed the button and then I went for the fridge. *beep* "Hey Samuel, It's Trista, I'm just calling to tell you to meet me at the mall at 3, that's where were going to have lunch, hope you like pretzels!" *beep*
As I took a drink of water, I thought to myself why Trista didn't want to have lunch at a more... private place, not that I wanted to, but knowing her, she might just want to talk... NAH. I looked up at the clock and saw it was already 11:30. I had three hours to kill before I had to leave for the mall. "Now what?... hmmm."
I looked over at the guitar case in the corner of the living room. I walked over and open it up and pulled out a white and green 72 Fender Strat. I got this from my mom when I turned 17. I got quite good in the few weeks that I played. When I got back from the army, I needed some money to get my P.I. idea off the ground. So I would go over to the night club at night time and play shows. It took me a few months, but I earned enough money to open my P.I business. "Now that I have a little time, might as well play a few notes." I said sitting down in my chair as I started to play a few cords. As I started to strum some G and C cords, I started to remember the good old days at the night club...
Thursday January 13th 1975 9:57 P.M. "Hey Samuel! you're on in two minutes!" The club manager said looking behind the curtain at me. "Ok! I'll be there!" I said looking up from my guitar. As I was turning my guitar, A certain someone came in to wish me good luck. "Hey Sammy!" Mina said hugging me from behind. "Oof, hey Mina." I said looking down at her. "I came by from my house to see you play." Mina said letting go of me. "You did? so your mom thinks you're in bed right now?"
"Yep!"
"Mina, if you get in trouble because of me..."
"Oh don't worry, My mom is asleep, I made sure she took her medicine and then I gave her some sleeping pills and then I hopped out my bedroom window and walked over here." Mina said smiling at me. "So can I stay and watch you Sammy? Pleaseeee? Mina said looking at me with a sad pouty face. *sigh* "Well ok, but only the first song, then you go back home ok?"
"Ok Sammy!" Mina said raising her hands in the air. "Next up is Samuel Own buy." The man said in the mic. I rolled my eyes. "They can never get my last name right."
"I guess you must be special." Mina said giggling and walking to the door. "I'll be in the back cheering you on. good luck Sammy!" Mina said closing the door.
I gave a warm smile and grabbed my guitar and walked out onto the stage. There were a least 100 People in the night club tonight and they were all looking at me for a rocking good time. I walked up to the mic and plugged in my guitar and turned around to the crowd. "Hey everyone, I'm Samuel and I'll be playing your music for tonight."
"Ya! Woo hoo! go Sammy!" A voice said way in the back as a few people started to laugh. I started to blushed a little. "Ok, well here we go..." I looked back at the band to make sure there were ready. They nod their heads at me as I turn back around..
"One, Two, Three, Four!" *guitar opening* "Well she was just seventeen! you know what I mean! .and the way she looked, was way be on compareee... so how could I dance with another, ooh, when I saw her standing there... Well she looked at meee! and I, I could see! that before too long, I'd fall in love with herrr... She wouldn't dance with anotherrr! woooo! when I saw her standing thereee... Well my heart went boooom! when I crossed that roooom! and I held her hand, in Mineeeeeeeee, Ooh we dance through the night! and we held each other tight! and before too long, I fell in love with herrr... Now I'll never dance with another! Woo! when I saw her standing there Waaa!" *Guitar solo* "Well my heart went boom! when I crossed that room! and I held her hand, in Mineeeeeee, Ooh we dance through the night! and we held each other tight! and before too long, I fell in love with herrr... Now I'll never dance with another! Woo! sense I saw her standing there... Woah sense I saw her standing there... Ya well Sense I saw her standing thereee."
As I hit the last cord, the crowd went wild. There were cheering and clapping as I looked out and saw a certain blonde Smiling at me as she walked out the night club. Walking off the stage, I thought to myself if I should start my own band. But that thought went into the back of my head as the crowd was calling me back for an encore...
Monday October 24th 1977 2:32 P.M. As that memory ended, I played one last cord and let it ring throughout the house. I put my guitar away and just looked at it, lost in my mind about how I should start to play again. "Maybe when this is all over... I should invite everybody to a concert." I said giving a faint smile. I looked up at the clock and saw it was already 35 after. I grabbed my Necklace off of the table and walked out the door. After locking my door, I started to walk to the mall to have lunch with Trista...
Monday October 24th 1977 3:03 P.M. Walking into the mall, I saw it was packed today. I started to walk pass groups of teenagers who were either making out or busy trying to get someone to pay for their food. After finding the pretzel shop, I walked in and started to look around for Trista. The pretzel shop had a window for ordering and picking up your food and then it had a little place that was outside where you sit and eat. I walked in and saw everybody was looking at me for some reason. I walked pass all the teens as they were looking at me like they couldn't believe who they were looking at. "Hey, isn't that the guy from the news?" A girl said to another girl. "Ya, he looks just like him, it has to be him." The other girl said as they started to walk up to me.
"Hey you." I turned around and looked at them. "Aren't you the guy from the news who was in that shootout at that Serena girl's house?"
"Ya, what's it to ya?" I said folding my arms. The girls changed their attitude in a second into a more... flirty one. "Well we think it was really brave of you to try and Save that girl." The girl said walking up to me swaying her hips. "Ya, it sure is hard to find a man that can stand up for a girl nowadays." The other girl said walking up from behind her. I gulped as I started to walk back. "Well I don't want someone I care for to get hurt." I said giving a awkward smile. "Aww, you're so sweet." They said as they backed me into a corner. "Sooo... do you have a girlfriend?" The one on the left said. "No..." I said cursing my ability not to lie to a girl. "So then... are you looking for someone then?" The one on the right said. "Well, yes I am." I said looking around hoping to see Trista. "So then where is she?" They both said getting closer to me. "She's right here." A voice said from behind them.
The two girls turn around to see Trista standing there with her arms folded and giving them a death look. "T-Trista!? He's with you!?"
"Ya... you got a problem with that?" Trista said leaning down to face them. "Oh no! of course we don't! we're just going to leave you two alone!" They said as they started to run away. Trista looks at me and gives me a warm smile.
"Whew! I'd never thought I would be glad to see you Trista." I said walking away from the corner. "Ya, sorry I was late... something came in at the station..." Trista said sounding a little scared. Looking at her eyes, I knew it was something bad. "Trista? what's wrong?" I said looking at her. Trista looks up to me and tried to put on a smile. "I'll tell you in a little bit, now how about those pretzels?" Trista said walking up to the window. I shook my head and smiled as I followed Trista to the window. Walking up to the window, A man walks up and starts to talk to us. "Hello, how can I take your order?"
"Let's see..." Trista said tilting her head and putting her hand under her chin as she started to think. "I will take a pretzel with extra salt and some cheese dip, and... what would you like Samuel?" Trista said looking back at me. I scanned the menu to see what they had. "I'll take what you are getting Trista." I said looking back at her. "Ok, make that two pretzels with cheese dip." Trista said lifting two of her fingers up. "Ok... is there anything else you two would like?"
"Hmmm..." Trista said looking at the menu. Then it happen... that look Trista gets when she's see something that will make me have to do something with her. "Give us one of your blueberry blast shakes for two deal you're doing." Trista said smiling. I looked up at the menu and saw that if you got the shake for two people, you get 20% off your order. "Ok, your total comes to 10:38$ with your 20% off." Trista turns and looks at me. "What?" I said looking back at her. "Well you heard the man Samuel." Trista said pointing with her head at the man. "What!? I have I have to pay!?" I said pointing at me. "Yes sir, when you get the shakes, the man has to be the one to buy it so that way they can show how much they care for their girl that they are with." Trista closes her eyes and gave a cocky smile.
"Fine..." I said pulling out my wallet. "Thank you Samuel, you're so nice to me." Trista said leaning her head on my shoulder on mine. I blushed as I started to get mad.
"Thank you sir. here is your pretzels and shake." The man said putting the pretzels and shake on a platter and handing it to me. "Have a nice day sir."
"Too late..." I said as I followed Trista out to the tables outside the shop. As I put the platter down at the table, Trista sits down and I sit down across from her. "Here's your pretzel." I said handing it to her. "Thank you Samuel." Trista said as she grabbed it and the cheese dip. As we both start to eat, I could feel everybody watching me and Trista eating. I looked to the left with my eye and saw all the girls looking at me. "Don't mind them Samuel." Trista said chewing her pretzel. "There just not used to seeing me with someone."
"What do you mean by that?" I said with a question tone. Trista didn't say anything until she was done with her pretzel. "You see Samuel, most girls around here know me as 'The time key keeper.'" Trista said looking at me with a smile. "Do I even want to know why they call you that?" I said leaning back in my chair. "I doubt it, but I'm going to tell you anyway." Trista said still smiling at me. I rolled my eyes. "When I turned 18, I was notorious around town for having the keys to almost every single guy in town, I build quite a reputation in town because of that." Trista said grabbing the shake and a straw. "So where does the time part come from?"
"I'll tell you after you help me with this..." Trista said putting another straw into the shake. I blushed red as I looked at her. "Trista!? I'm not going to drink that with you!" I said looking away. Trista said nothing as she kept drinking the shake very slowly and batting her eyes at me. I could feel everybody that was outside looking at me. I knew that if I didn't do this, word would spread around town and Lita would find out that I went with Trista to lunch. In order to keep this away from Lita, with every amount of courage that I had, and still blushing red... I leaned over the table and started to sip from the shake.
A few people started to whistle at us as I tried my hardest to try and not to make eye contact with Trista eyes. Trista eyes looked like there were looking deep into my soul. After what felt like 10 minutes, the shake was finally gone. "Phew!" I said falling back into my chair. "Thank you for drinking that with me Samuel." Trista said looking at me licking her lips. I turned away and started to blush again. "Now that the shake is done, now can you tell me where the time part comes from?" I said looking at Trista. "..."
Trista just sat there looking to her left at the clouds in the sky. It's weird but Trista seemed to be thinking about something that was hard to talk about. "Do you know what time it is Samuel?" Trista said still looking at the clouds. "What? well uah... maybe 3:30." I said scratching my head. "It's 3:26 and 29 seconds."
"Really? how do you know that?" I said raising an eyebrow. Trista had a look on her face that I have never seen before. "Did you know Samuel, that time does not exist?" Trista said looking back at me with a sad look on her face. "What do you mean?"
" 'Time' is just a word that we use to let us know what part of the day it is...Time itself is not real..." Trista said folding her arms. "Huh... I didn't think about it like that."
"Ya, why would you, most people just go on with their everyday lives like it will go on forever and that there time will never run out..." Trista's tone was getting a little lower by this point. "Well is that not the point of life? to live and make an impact on society and then die?" I said folding my arms and leaning back in my chair. Trista lets out a small smile. "I wish I had your easy mind Samuel." Trista said looking at me smiling. "I know how short life can be, so I want to live my mark and let people know my name even when I'm gone, so that's why I started to get the key to every single guy in town so that people will remember who Miss Trista was."
"So that's why they call you 'the time key keeper'?"
"Yep, I like to remember the time I had with all the single men in town and have a little something from them to remember at that point in time..." Trista said pulling out a small ring with several keys attached to it. "Well then…" I said putting my hands behind my head. "Ya well... I haven't told anybody how I got these keys..." Trista said looking at me. "Wait... you just told me." I said looking at her. "You are the first person I've told Samuel." Trista said smiling at me.
I felt like I was glad that Trista told me... like it was something I needed to know. "Well thank you for telling me Trista, you have my word that I will tell no one." I said smiling at her. Trista smiled back at me, but her smile seemed a little more innocent then the other smile she gives me. "Well now that we are done eating, I have something you might want to see." Trista said pulling some papers out of her back pocket. "What are these?" I said grabbing them and opening them up. "They were delivered to the station this morning..." Trista said with a sad tone in her voice. As I started to read, my heart started to speed up as I read the paper out loud.
"Trista, you are to have Samuel and Amara met Zoisite, Jadeite, Nephrite and Kunzite at the park in Chinatown on Tuesday at midnight, you are to bring 500,000$ in exchange for Serena's and Darien's life. They are to come alone, If we see anybody following them or if we hear anything over the radio's, we will kill them and send them to you in a box. signed 'The Queen.' "
I just sat there, lost in my mind about this Queen character. Trista just sat there, watching me with pain in her eyes. Nobody said anything for a few minutes. "Did... you tell Amara yet?" I said looking down at the ground. "Yes... she has already agreed to do this." Trista said standing up. I stand up with her. "Well at least we know that they are still alive."
"But who are Nephrite and Kunzite?"
"You know... I bet you anything they were I ones in that picture that Amara showed me when those drills went missing." I said putting my hand under my chin. "You might be right, but what are we going to do? it's just too dangerous for you and Amara to go."
"We will talk about this tomorrow at your office, I will have more info about these people tomorrow and I will bring some help too."
"Ok, what time do you want to meet?"
"Well I have to see what my friend plans are and see when we can all meet, I'll call you later tonight and tell you what time ok?"
"Ok, sounds like a plan." Trista said as we both started to walk out of the mall. I followed Trista to her car and watched her get in. "What is your plan for the rest of the day?" Trista said starting her car. "I'm going to go see someone who might have some info about them and then I'm going home and then I will try to call you ok?"
"Ok, I'll see you later, oh, and hey Samuel?" Trista said leaning out her window." Ya?"
"...Thanks for having lunch with me. It's been a long time sense I just talked with a guy." Trista said smiling at me. "Sure." I said smiling. Trista backed up and drove off as I started to walk to Rays house wondering what I was going to do about tomorrow night...
