I woke up the next day, on the floor.Man, I was a mess, someone had been trying to wake me up. It was Yuvonne and I was having a head bang from last night's.Speaking of last night, I took the letter from the floor and crumpled it fastly so that Yuvonne would not see the agonizing letter, I don't know how disastrous it will be when she sees it, so I made sure to keep it out of her reach, for the moment, or possibly forever. "What in the hell are you doing on the floor looking like shit?"Yuvonne asked, squatting down to have a look. "Where have you been Yuvonne? I was awake all damn night waiting on you" "Really? Are you gonna answer my question with a question, what's up with your eyes, did someone throw you a blow? And your temple, Helion, you look horrible." "Yeah, yeah. I know. It's uhmm, you know from yesterday. C'mon gimme a hand here." I said stretching out my hand and she helped me to stand up. I turned around and made for the shower with the letter still under my dress.
"Janet, you sure know my name, I am not a Nerd" "Oh, sorry my bad, what's your name, Mercury?"Janet said in a mocking manner.Auch, that was loud. I felt for Mercury. Her name is sure not Mercury. I guess I caused it. "So, uhmm, Janet what do you want?" I asked Janet who was already sitting down comfortably. She brought out an inhaler and inhaled deeply. Putting it back in her pocket, she started smoking again. "I came here to know what you guys are doing with that giant of a book. I saw Nerdy carrying it to the dorm, so I followed. I have always known you two to be up to something and I was right all along. Wasn't I?" "Wait a minute, is that an Albuterol?You are ashmatic and yet you smoke?"Mercury asked in awe. "Your soul needs redemption, Janet. I guess you don't know what you are doing to yourself.'I said to her. "Oh, don't worry about me. We live to die, don't we?" "Oh, boy."Mercury muttered in her unbelief. Then I signaled Mercury to start reading because we don't ha
"Hold up, Nerdy, are you like interpreting that from Vikings to English?"Sharpe asked. "How's that for a Nerdy huh?"Mercury threw back. "Oh, you are a gem. Guess you are not much of a nerd. Except for your uhmm. Your glasses." "Listen, Sharpe. We wouldn't want nobody to hear about this. If you can keep your mouth mute?"I said, "Hmm. What do I get in return. If I keep it confidential?" "Don't worry, I've got just what you would like."I went to my room and got her a bottle of whiskey. "Wow! looks like a deal now. Nobody is gonna hear."She said opening the bottle and Mercury continued, turning the next page. "Batistar had all three anchors in his Madorina and each of the chains are about, three thousand fts in length. So, he and his men went to work, Separating each chain from it's anchor and adding it to the one anchor that would be kissing the Treasure Aqua's floor.When they were done, the anchor and the chains grew so heavy, their Madorina was beginning to sink, but that
"Is that the end?" I asked Mercury who checked the other pages of the book. "Uh, well, this is the important ones yet. Let's analize the book." "Here?"I asked her giving her an eye sign that Janet is sleeping right in her room.So we tiptoed and left the room. Seeking privacy.We went to the back of our camp. "Shadock was sure not a friend. He was more of a devil to me."Mercury said. "Yeah, they sure had always been devils.He was playing a wild card. The good guy card, whereas he actually was the bad guy. Good thing he later died." "So, the Dogmarians, now, popularly known as the Dogmas had long been using Vudu." "Yeah, and we have to find the PRISON OF STONES, or whatever it was called." "How? The book said it was buried somewhere around the Treasure Aqua.I haven't heard about that water till today."Mercury retorted "What if the Neighboring Domain was Claudia?"I asked trying to make a point, then I continued, "We have the Pacific ocean around here, so maybe through evo
"We have a very big problem ahead of us.We've never heard of this Karl Sullivan guy untill recently. We don't even know what he does or what he looks like. So how in the world do we start looking for him?"Janet said already into everything. "I actually have a clue of what he looks like."I said and continued "I have mentioned him to Mercury before.He technically is the brain behind these walls we call The Marshalls. I have seen his picture, though, not so clear." "Where could you have seen it?"Mercury asked. It was a very huge question for me, because in one of my wild rounds with Julius in his room. I saw the same picture that is at the reception, that bore the abbreviation, KS. It only appeared clearer and this time with the full name, Karl Sullivan. And I wondered what connection he had with Julius. Looking at Mercury and Janet, they were keenly looking me in the eyes to hear what I had to say and I don't want to hide anything from anyone again, I already felt guilty enough
I felt ugly because I found myself in a tight place with Julius. He sure doesn't deserve what I did to him, using his feelings for me against him.But in everything, there are prices to pay, right? I brought the picture to Mercury and Janet and we thoroughly looked the picture over. We could possibly pass for FBI agents. Karl Sullivan is a very old man, definitely in his early eighties. we couldn't place him because we've never come across him. Then we found on the picture, a loop symbol with an anchor chain. It's very typical for the Dogmas because it was also seen at the back of the laptop I extracted from them on the day of my abduction. It was now very clear to me why the picture of Karl Sullivan that hung at the reception was left blurry, because he was a Dogmarian, and he couldn't explain why he was the founder of a Military Academics in Claudia, shits kept getting darker. Karl Sullivan all these while had done a good job in keeping his profile, low and unknown. But his downfa
"No no no, we can't manage another party.We are already forming a crowd."Mercury objected pacing her room. "We would just give him the system and he would do his job. I can pay him off with cash and that's all."I said trying to calm Mercury who was already worked up. "Really? You think he wouldn't want to know where we got that system from and what we are up to? You think we are not going to be in trouble already?" "Wait, hold up Nerdy why are you acting up?If you don't want any more party then you should be able to have what it takes. Go on ahead and access the system yourself. We wouldn't be needing his help after all."Mercury became infuriated and made to attack Janet, who didn't even flinch. "One more word from you sicko -" "Hey, hey, Mercury stay calm. It's okay Janet. Enough of the riles." I interrupted Mercury and stopped her from moving towards Janet. "You may want to go to your room now, bitch. Show is over for tonight."Mercury said."Okay, goodnight loves. If you
I couldn't help but think, what could be the connection between Julius Arms and Karl Sullivan? I don't know how many knots we are left to untie. We got to room 89, Ragnolf's room and knocked, then someone opened the door. It was his roommate already leaving for his camp activities. He was on a nose ring and was chewing his gum loudly. "Anthony! You got some chicks looking for you, definitely not me!" He said as he smiled at us saying 'hi' amidst waving his hand vigorously in the air. Then he made for his camp. I and Janet only smiled at him, the smile not reaching our eyes as we looked at him walking down the dorm corridor, he was swaying his butts sideways as he held his backpack with one of his hands leaving the other hand to dangle by his side in a lady-like manner.Janet was looking at him with a flared nose all the while until he was out of sight. "Ill, them gay guys."Was the only thing Janet said wrinkling her nose in disgust. Then, Ragnolf opened the door and stood for li
