This chapter is dedicated to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing and the Waco Texas fire/explosion.
Clove was exhausted so glimmer drove for a while. There was a comfortable silence in the car but Clove knew that Glimmer would bring up Cato sooner or later. Clove hoped for later. Glimmer turned on the radio and haunting voice of the newest face in music Effie Trinket came on. Her voice was perfect for singing, and Clove really like her songs she often felt that they relaid to her life. The lyrics to this particular song really spoke to her.
This baby was making her so moody. It was awful, it was like one second she was completely content with her life the next she was off crying in a closet metaphorically of course, but it wouldn't be the strangest place she had hidden.
She wondered what Cato would think when he couldn't find her. He would probably try to, but if this girl was as good as they said, finding Clove and Glimmer would be like finding a zebra on the subway.
Clove dozed off for awhile and the sound of the car wheels on a gravel driveway awoke her. Glimmer pulled up in front of the girls house. It was defiantly not what Clove was expecting. Or at least not for a con artist. Glimmer stopped the car and got out, Clove sat in the car holding her stomach. She didn't want to run away again, but she knew leaving behind Hollywood was the best for everyone. She smiled and got out of the car.
Glimmer and Clove walked up the brick stairs to the doorway. The house was a strange match for California. It wasn't like the other modern and shiny new houses that made up the rest of the neighborhood. Instead it was modeled after the house of the old south, columns included. It was gray, had a perfectly manicured lawn and was surrounded by hedges cut into the shapes of animals. Not to mention it was huge.
Glimmer rang the doorbell a deep dong sound came from it. Clove was getting nervous she wiped the beading sweat of her forehead with the back of her palm. Bunches of worries flowed through her head. What if this wasn't the place, what if the girl couldn't help them, what if the men in the black found them, what if the girl turned them in, and worst of what if Cato found them. Every since Clove had seen the man in the restaurant she had been on the edge of her seat. She was also overcome with a feeling of paranoia. She wondered if Glimmer felt the same way. She looked over at her friend. What would she do without Glimmer? She wondered. She didn't want to think those. She really wanted to make glimmer understand how much she meant to her.
"Glimmer," Clove said, "I was wondering..." Clove never got to finish her question because the door to the house opened and a man was standing in the door. He was dressed exactly how one would expect a butler to dress. He had a neat suit on and had his hair slick back. He took one look at them and beckoned them inside, closing the door behind them.
While the outside of the house was neat looking and perfect the inside couldn't be different. Papers were covering every surface, dishes were piled everywhere and there were several stuffed animal heads on the walls. In the middle of the room was a girl with her back to them, her black hair tucked into a bun atop her head. She was dressed in a brown and green kimono and was barefoot. She was currently yelling on her cell phone and rapidly moving her other hand.
"Fine!" She yelled into the phone and slammed it down onto her desk. She rubbed her temple.
" Chaff please go get our guests something to eat, they're probably hungers from their trip." She said with her back to them still. How did she know we were here? Clove wondered inside her head.
"Of course Ms. Mason." Chaff nodded and headed towards the kitchen leaving the girls with the women in the room.
"Sit down," the women said clearing a spot on a rather ragged sofa. "My name is Johanna and obviously your hear because you need to disappear."
So hi! Sorry it's been awhile since I posted another chapter, but if you had been anywhere near your TV you'd understand. Also I have to study for EOCs and finals. So there's not going to be another Cato POV for a couple of chapters. Anyways thanks for reading and don't forget to review.
