HWA Message Board: Re: Memories of the past..... (Another piece)

The sounds of the road and the flashes of the lights whizzing by lulled Fallen into a memory of the past. Suddenly Fallen grabs the car phone out of the cradle.

Fallen- Driver! Change of plans. I need to go pick up something. Take me home.

He puts the phone back into his cradle as he feels the car make a u turn and he sits back into his seat as a distant look enters his eyes.

The scene fades out and fades into a different time and place. The veranda at sunset as the sun slowly sinks on the crashing waves below. The sounds of a party can be heard muffled behind thick glass. A man with black and grey stripped ponytail and a white dress shirt and black slacks and blackk boots that polish gleam in the fading sun. In one hand he is holding unlit cigar between two fingers as he slowly swirls a amber glass. He taps the papers on the tabletop with his fingertips.

????- Now make sure you fully what your agreeing to fully. These papers will make you never exist anymore. You will never be who you were ever again. When you agree and sign these papers you will become me and I will become whomever I want to be. This deal these people are unlike any others you will ever meet again.

young man- Why are you making it sound like a deal with the devil?

????- Hahaha noooo I mean It is kinda like a olds crossroads deal I admit but you get more then ten years. Hahaha and as that end of your run you train your replacement.

young man- Old man why are you sounding like the parrot from Aladdin?

????- Because I am offering you unlimited power? And money n treasures beyond compare?

young man- Yes exactly what's the catch? Whys it sounding too good to be true?

????- No catch... Just a simple plan a simple deal. They give you the training. They give you the backing. You don't ask where it comes from. You just awnser to the Courts. And all they ask is your soul hahaha...

young man- And your sure this is legit and it's real old man?

????- I'm more real then sure! So do we got a deal? He taps the papers next to the pen.

young man- Woah! Woah! Woah! I haven't said I even I will yet.

????- Ahhhh I fully understand... Well no rush. We got time. Let's go inside... It's my lil brother's birthday after all.

young guy- Does he still that wear mask all the time?

????- Yes! I told him I paid for the best Drs money could buy but he still swears he can feel and see it.

young man- Well I could recommend some good shrinks and get their numbers for you?

????- Thanks I'll have to grab them before you leave.

young man- Not a problem my friend. Oh hey don't forget your face.

A hand reaches down and grabs a Fallen
mask as the two figures head inside... And the memory fades....
