Kapitel 15 – A storm is brewing
An Lake Charles
Die Sturmwolken türmten sich immer weiter auf. Bedrohlich kreisten sie um die Großstadt.
harbinger of what is to come. It was not long before the threatening wet came down.
gray curtains fell on Lake Charles and plunged the city into a depressing gray.
The water in the lake kept quiet. There is no towering waves and impacting
drops were literally swallowed by the black wet. It thundered and lightened in
the clouds, but the first ray of light found its way out of the clouds suggested
directly to the top of the abandoned pier that extends into the lake. The flash lit up the area for a second
with glittering light. Two shadows long, the other small, appeared.
It was dark again, but not for long. The arrival of the figures seemed to get out of the storm
leave. Was it previously and threatening behavior, it developed slowly now
his anger. Dozens of lightning struck one of the lake. The thunder, so
deafening that no one would change the word of the characters can hear.
The tall figure was a strong woman with golden brown skin. Your hair fell in curls over
black full shoulder and back. The smaller figure was that of a
boys, not yet 10 years old maybe. His dark hair fell straight to his
ears. He had the appearance of a careless child. But his eyes were filled with grief and exhaustion
.
The woman put her hand anxiously at the boy's shoulder. This looked at the
contact with anxious glance toward the woman.
"Calliope, you said I would not do this anymore. You had promised me that
all be over soon. "
Calliope smiled at the boy maternal. Your whole body language, facial expressions
and the sound of her voice, all poured out a warmth and security. But all this could
not hide the cold calculation in her eyes.
"Soon, Jesse, very soon. But now you gotta help again. You are special. And you
part of something that improves the world. "
Jesse're watching the wooden planks on which he stood. Unsure he muttered
. "But I miss my parents ... I do not want"
"Jesse, he has promised you, you bring back to your parents together,
or "
" Yes, but they are dead, how can he? "
Calliope smiled and patted his head tenderly Jesse
" From what you saw , you doubt that death is an obstacle for him would
? . Jesse, he has promised you and he will keep it "
Jesse exhaled heavily and said, reflected:
" Ok, what do I have "
" What do you always do?. Concentrate and let up on the matter. I'm gonna help
again. "
Jesse closed his eyes. His breathing became more hectic, and came to stutter bumps
from his mouth. The storm changed now and the wind whipped mercilessly.
But still the water remained calm. The clouds drifted apart.
storm created an eye directly on the lake. Jesse raised his trance-like arms, stretched them
gene middle of the lake.
Calliope, who had laid their hands on Jesse's shoulders, spoke in a booming voice. "Ge to nonci cnila"
The Enochian syllables rolled off her tongue and echoed in the surrounding area clear and
dü most again.
Jesse tore his eyes. But by the warm look nothing was left. Only
darkness was apparent in that. As two black holes that are drilled in the skull of
boys. In his trance caught Jesse repeated the words of Kalliope.
His voice had not the same force as that of the woman. But the effect was greater the more
. In deep black water illuminated with a red glow. Increasingly becoming
it spread. Then the earth shook and there was just a metallic squeak
flexing of metal. In the middle of the lake resulted in a tsunami-like wave. In a
a perfect circle, spread them out and rushed across the lake, was part of the bank under
water and let the planks behind Jesse and Kalliope high throw into the air.
The glow faded and Jesse fell to the ground. Kalliope caught him and looked at the
exhausted face of the boy. His eyes were still slightly ajar.
"Now can I be Mummy and Daddy?" It was whispering to him.
Kalliope looked to the lake. The dense clouds again and the rain was now
here again. Just watching the surface, waiting for the sign. In the middle of the lake came a surge
Air bubbles to the surface. Then the sea died away again and
fell into dead silence. Calliope smiled.
"Soon, Jesse. Just a few more favors, okay? "
Jesse did not hear the answer. He was already asleep.
Kalliope looked to the sky and closed her eyes. A flash of lightning lit up her appearance
one last time and put the shadows of their spreading wings in a sharp contrast
. She disappeared with Jesse and left Lake Charles to his demise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sam rushed through the streets of Lake Charles. Swearing that he no longer had money for
the bus, he ran through the seemingly endless rain, which had leveled off somewhere between
monsoon and dribbling incessantly and now since last night
beat down. The curbs are formed small rivers that rushed along the streets
. Now and then, a surge of water poured from a car passing by
passersby. Some manhole covers had already begun to overflow and the sewage workers
the city had their hands full.
Sam saw the front of the bar and sighed. The leaves of the bushes under the windows
were adamant the burden of the rain was. He quickly slipped through the door and pulled
from his hoodie. His work shirt had become damp and the rain seemed to be even smaller now
and surrounded him like a second skin.
Jeffrey put the glasses back on hand and checked the taps. When he heard the door, looked at it and saw
Sam came. His hair was still riddled with rain drops and
he was not particularly happy. Sam looked at his Breast and tugged relentlessly at
the shirt, which at least one number was too small for the giant.
"Oh, boy!" Jeffrey cursed softly to himself and heard are already excited his boss
running.
"Hi, shit weather, eh?" Sam greeted the two.
Alison reviewed it with their eyes and the gloss is stabbed to every child in a candy store from
.
"Alison, I could get in my normal clothes ... I mean, Jeff's also
not in the shirt and "
Jeff looked at him with a sad look, looked at the unsuspecting victim of his boss. He shook his head and said
:
"Sure can du"
But Alison interrupted him. She hit back accusing her hand against his chest and Jeffreys
warned him:
"Jeff! I you've already said more than once! Put on work clothes! Or do I look
me for a new bartender? "
" But you have never confess "
Alison did not let him , Finish played seriously stabbed him in the chest.
"Yes, but is not a bad example ... I want to bring some order in here," she smiled
turned to Sam and did not see how Jeff rolled his eyes, what a laugh
Sam now elicited.
, the two behave like an old married couple ', thought Sam and bit her in the cheek,
to resist to the smile.
"It's okay, Alison, but you do not in XL?" Took
Jeff just a glass and began to polish it, as he answers the question heard. He nodded
briefly and replied, "Hm klaAUU" Jeff's answer was lost in his cry of pain, as he had sustained
Alison's foot under the bar against his shin.
"No, sorry, we did not expect so nem giant, which begins here," Jeff
was now growling again and Alison grinned sweetly and satisfied.
"So, Sam, but enough of it, stand back and smile just a short time. I want to see them shine
dimples. "
Sam was confused but he did it without asking big, after all, he took the job
urgent. Suddenly, Alison had a camera in his hand and shot a picture of Sam. The
lightning lit up the room briefly. Alison and grinned at Sam, who stood now very puzzled.
"This is for the employee of the month picture. So strictly up to. "
Jeff, who had been facing towards one of the regulars looked puzzled now.
"Employee of the month? I've been working here for three years and have never heard what it
"admitted he insulted again.
"I It also only recently introduced. You know, purely to bring a bit of motivation. "
" Hm, alright. Great time, "said Jeff dry again. Alison was red and her ears
peaks already appeared to glow.
Sam, the argument of the two had been around long enough now considered cleared his throat,
itself.
"Um, should I work now?"
"Yeah, Sam," Alison replied with a radiant look.
Sam turned and walked toward the tables in order to clear and wipe.
, Damn, it can not be true that he ever so 'has NEN ass?'
Alison rejoiced inwardly, and it took less than two seconds with his back to her that they have their
camera picked it up and shot a dozen photos. This time without the flash, then saw Sam
none of it. Jeff, who looked on Alison's shoulder pursued, now appeared like the images gradually
as a flipbook on the display of the digicam. On display was Sam from behind,
be tighter butt set perfectly into the picture and his muscular back, stuck the lot on which to close
shirt.
Jeff shook his head and looked at Alison pity.
"This is even a new low for you, Ally."
"Hey, this thing was for the month ... ... And just as I came by accident on the trigger
. & Ldquo ;
Jeff looked at her stunned and wide-eyed.
"Ice cold without batting an eyelash, and you lie to me. I'm hit, Ally,
hit really deep. "Jeff's face was initially seriously, he could not pull themselves together at the last words
and had to laugh out loud.
"I really do not lie!" Lied Alison now has slightly red-faced. You walked slowly through
nerves.
"Um, sure." Jeff wrenched her camera and clicked through the pictures.
Ally jumped up to get them again, but Jeff was always outside the unit
their reach.
"But then I have to say, Ally, you have the wrong vocation. Who from such images accidentally shoots
who are already Magazine Frost should be a professional photographer. "
" Give it back here, "Jeff
one gave up and handed her the camera. You snapped, but Jeff did not let go, and their hands wrapped
today. Jeff came to her close and looked deep into her eyes. Alison's heart
put a gear higher and pounded hard in her chest. She swallowed.
"Jeff, let go ...", it was weak from her. The look stapled still in his eyes.
"Only if you tell me, what do you need these images exactly," Jeff said with a serious
and deep voice. Alison was speechless.
, Why is it that Jeff How is all at once? Otherwise he is not so. Is he
jealous? "Alison stared in disbelief Jeff further that the bent to her ear and whispered softly
.
"And do not spare the sordid details. I stand on that. "
He looked again into her eyes and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively now, his face was gone
a mischievous grin.
"JEFF" hissed Alison at him. They poked him in the chest and he let go of the camera.
Laughing, he held his side, while Alison with a red face
stormed past him and disappeared to the toilet. Jeff calmed down quickly, as a guest
gave an order. But for the rest of the evening he had a grin on his face.
, Ally is indeed to make fun of so easily, "thought he was unaware.
Alison had grabbed the camera and with it pinned to her breast, she had fled to the toilet
. She closed the door and turned on the tap.
, Jeff is an idiot! "She quickly
wiped away a tear. She hoped that Jeff had not seen how much she had hurt the
. In it blazed long believed buried feelings again.
feelings for Jeff. Jeff, this gigantic sweet idiot. A second tear ran down her cheek. She looked
to the camera. Sam's smile beamed toward her. Once again, it hurt. They also felt
clearly too much for Sam.
a stranger she had just met once yesterday.
"Damn! Even I can create me in my half-staff to bring all. "
In her mind she saw her mid-fifties Accountants and Nikki, the waitress who helped out here
addition to their school.
"God, I think, if I still give you a month, I can boast of three quarters,"
Alison muttered sarcastically to himself
, Even if I do not know who the next would be. Karl and Nikki? "The idea drew a laugh
her again and she pulled herself together.
She quickly wiped the tracks and went back out in their bar
you helped with pouring entertained their guests,
spun around like a little tornado and conjured up all smiles their faces with their warm Article
Even if it looked different in their interior and they never knew who they should first observe
. Jeffrey with his deft hands and kneel down with Sam this puppy-eyes and the body to
.
The bar growled and Sam had to help the already serving. About eight came a couple of bikers come
, five in number, he looked anxiously to Alison. But she waved and gave him
an "OK" sign.
As the crowd took off again, Sam told Alison what it had with the bikers up.
"They're a biker clan. Do not worry, these are really nice people. They love
just the road and its motorcycles. Chuck is ticking but there often run out. But
his people hold him mostly in check. "
Sam did not look very convinced.
Alison patted his shoulder and continued with a grin: "Well yes and if not I'm always up
still here, they throw out." Sam turned to her, his face somewhat pale
.
"You seriously expect that I simultaneously with five types of recording?" Asked Sam to
half shocked, half laughing.
"Well, yes. But you have not yet seen your paycheck, "joked Alison
and went back to work, but not without first to get hold of once a long look at Sam's
rear view.
Sam did his job and Alison was right. The bikers were quiet, drank their beer,
made jokes and enjoyed the other guests as well. Sam just brought back a tray with glasses
to Jeff, when he heard a loud roar of a motorcycle which was parked outside the bar
. He looked to the door and saw a woman from the saddle
jumped and ran into the bar. She quickly unbuckled her helmet and Jeff cursed
"Holy Mother of God! You send us an angel? "Whispered Jeff and his mouth fell open
when he saw the exotic beauty. Sam also had to give him right, the woman was
stunning. She had a bronze skin tone, the suspicion that she was outside in the lot
. Her chestnut-colored hair was tied in a ponytail and her lips were
lively and inviting soft. In their eyes, tiefstdunkelstem Blue, was a hidden passion
jumping Sam's heart was. This woman was special. You
took off her leather jacket and lewd whistles echoed in the bar, it came directly from the
biker table.
She was dressed in an already somewhat worn but well-fitting and well-kept
military uniform. It was not from the U.S.. When Sam saw the right, was this
from Canada. The woman gave the bikers a warm smile and just ignored it.
you put her helmet on the bar stool and took a seat on the next to it.
"A beer please," she ordered her to order Jeff. This was drawing her a beer without looking
averted. The routine gesture internalized so much, you put the cool Blonde
back and said,
.'s On the house "
" Well, thank you, but I do not let it distract a generous tip to give, "
gave the woman smiling again Jeff and pushed over a twenty. Enough for five beers. Jeff
would not accept it, but he had invited. Alison had the whole thing with
and Jeff followed was so close to catching one of them.
, I have to calm myself, I have no reason to be jealous. Is not like that he would
my friend. "
But when Alison saw Jeff wanted to reject twenty U.S. dollars tip, she was there.
"Oh, thank you very much," she said with a broad smile, but this did not reach her eyes
and pocketed the money before Jeff could reject it. The woman looked
Alison and noticed immediately that they are already moving on thin ice.
"Hi, I'm Alison and this is my bar I've seen here before. Are they new to the city ...
"asked Alison and saw the name tag on her uniform.
"-R. Sheppard? "Read Alison ago and now it looked inquiringly into his eyes.
"Yes, I'm just passing through and they are welcome to call me Rebecca." Ranged
The women's hands and Rebecca saw Alison leaned forward slightly and
her arm on the counter supported. Jeff crowd out easily. For the others in the bar looked like it
from Smalltalk, but Rebecca knew that if they are warned. This little blonde
they did not like. Rebecca felt the cool tone in her voice and her dislike.
your whole attitude screamed: Keep your hands off my bartender!
, Hm, I must find me another good for flirting. "
" Nice bar they have here. "
" Thank you, enjoy it well. "Both smiled, none of the two was serious, they said
and both knew they could not stand each other. That was all a charade.
A, which was recognized only two of them. The guys in the bar looked just like two
women talked.
Jeff saw between the two and fro, not knowing whether he should say something now or
rather not.
, I felt something weird with them. Hach, yet I was just flirting with Rebecca, what
had a wonderful name, but Alison I screw up ... well what revenge?
I could not even keep my mouth shut just now. "Jeff sighed not knowing and poured to a guest
.
also Alison went back to work, but soon she was sitting in the corner and watched
how the guys swarmed around Rebecca, already gave her drinks. But more than a little flirtation
jumped out for no. She kept a low profile and not accompanied to the table.
The bikers watch and they whispered something, then there was Neil. A stout
lovely guy and his mid-thirties with light brown hair and a distinctive face.
"Hey, lady. We have seen your bike. Nice machine. Do they not desire to put us to
, NEN few stories to share? "
Rebecca looked at him and then the biker-table, where she threw a few obscene gestures.
"Does that mean they want to save me from the milk Bubis," asked Rebecca was relieved and
on already. Neil blinked.
"Uh, of course." They went to the table and Chuck haute laughing on the table that the glasses
rattled.
"See, Neil, I've got tell you, the worm is tough, has stuff on it! So with her
the bet! "
Rebecca sat down with them and they told the long evening. The bikers already gave her some
shots of tequila, which she with a straight face tilted down.
Sam could not help but always look to her. When he was clearing a table, he looked
"accidentally" in their direction. Saw how excited she told a story. How their eyes sparkled
it. He did not hear what she said, but he did not care. He went back to
Jeff, Sam was not the attention to the brunette escaped.
"Alright, when you speak to her?" Asked Jeff.
"What? Is it so obvious? "
Jeff nodded.
"Safe and well you are, I think the only one here who has ne chance with her.
believe me, she gave up more than once been checked out. "
" Really? No, just kidding but you want me. "
" No, she looks straight again. "
Sam turned around and sure enough, Rebecca looked at him. Her chin supported on his hand,
she saw him a call. Her eyes seemed dreamy and their thoughts
likely to be at Sam's shirt. When their eyes met, she did not look away. Sam did not know what it was
, but he had long not felt so much attracted to a woman.
Rebecca Brown was busy in those eyes, so innocent. In this curly hair so soft and
in the body, so strong. You did not notice that Chuck was talking to her. Did not know
that if he had been drinking as much as was a real asshole today. Only when she was
yelled, she broke away from the waiter.
"Hey honey, I talk to you!"
"What!" Snapped back Rebecca and drained her last glass of tequila for the evening.
Chuck, not in the least discouraged moved closer to her. His massive body, more fat than muscle
smelled alcohol after that seemed to emanate from his pores. Rebecca
regretted it already to have sat down beside him.
"Well, how about, I'll give NEN nice ride on my own Harley. "
Rebecca grimaced in disgust and stood up.
"Let me see, I do not like fat" Harleys. " She wanted to go, but Chuck they had held at arm
and pushed her against the pool table now. His chest was pressed against her back
. Rebecca, who did not bow, had supported each other very quickly with their hands
, but it hit a glass, which shattered under her hand and the glass splinters
deep drilled in her palms. Printen loss was Sam, but when he saw Rebecca's face
, found He there are no signs of fear. No, she rolled her eyes as if it would be her
just on my nerves. Sam was still going on and stopped, as Rebecca is moving
. In a single fluid motion, she joined Chuck on his foot. He uttered a curse, leaving Rebecca
enough space so that she could take Chuck with her elbow in the solar plexus
. The blow was hard and could hear Sam, how was the air out of lungs
Chucks driven. He made half a step back and his body bent forward
what Rebecca is the best model for an uppercut
allowed against his nose. Blood spurted and Chuck was by now back straight and
held with closed eyes, the nose. Rebecca is now completely free, turned and took
Chuck him by the shoulders and rammed her knee between his legs. That was too much for Chuck
. He falls a lot on the floor, not knowing whether he should keep his nose
or its soft tissues.
Cursing and the hand-holding, Rebecca stepped over the downed Chuck
and saw the bar counter, where an astonished bartender, a waiter and a surprise
saw angry owner.
"Sorry, I ... "Rebecca was interrupted by Alison, who screamed loudly now:
" CHUCK! Piss off FROM MY BAR, You miserable bastard! "
Rebecca took her things and moved already to the leather jacket.
, I'm the best, as long as the crowds there. I have to do more important things anyway. "
Sam saw Rebecca snuck out of the bar.
, I must be after her, but she had injured. "
fast he ran to the exit and found her sitting in front of the motorcycle. A Kawasaki.
your luggage was in two pockets on the sides and a rear mounted. It was raining always
still easy, but Sam did not bother to it. He quickly ran to her. Rebecca had her helmet
already, but was still above the visor.
"Hey, are you well?"
Rebecca looked at him interested.
"Yeah, what are you doing?" She asked in confusion, as Sam took her hand in the
were broken glass.
"I want to see how hard you're hurt."
Cautiously he pulled her out of the glove. Her hand was warm a bed in his big ones.
Rebecca's heart accelerated is, as Sam's warm fingers on their lead intact skin.
He looked at her inquiringly.
"Where's the wound?"
Rebecca pulled her hand away and puts the glove back over it.
"What wound? The blood was from him, "said Rebecca too hastily.
No, I'm sure they had first bled ', thought Sam, but said nothing further
. He knew she was hurt. He has been trained all his life, things to note
. His life depended on it. Sam knew he was not mistaken.
"Ok, mein Fehler.“
Rebecca sah Sam an, und etwas in ihr wollte diesen unschuldigen Welpenblick und diesen
nicht gerade unschuldigen Körper.
‚Der ist echt sexy‘, dachte sich Rebecca und beugte sich vor, ihre Arme auf den Lenker des
Motorrads verschränkt. Sam wusste nicht, was er jetzt noch sagen sollte, doch Rebecca nahm
ihm das ab.
„Wie heißt du?“
„Sam.“
„Also, Sam, arbeitest du morgen auch wieder hier?“
Der Klang von seinen Namen, wenn sie ihn aussprach, liked Sam. She had a full
voice and a slight accent, he could not quite place, except perhaps
damn sexy!
"Um, even from 17 bis 2 clock."
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Sam."
Rebecca gave him a radiant smile before she flips down her visor and
drove away with the motorcycle. Wind and rain lashing against it. Sam looked after her, and how their
taillights disappear into the rain. Then he went back now deeply soaked. At the door
he noticed that the bushes under the Barfenstern now withered and were not completely
single leaf was more in them. They were all dead leaves were dried on the ground and the branches were broken
gradually from the rain. As if nothing more
they stuck together.
"Sam? Ah, here you are! "Alison had stretched her head out and looked like Sam
squatted on the ground.
"Will you come back, we need you to something else." She waved to him.
"Yeah, I'll be right."
Sam got up and followed her. The rest
of the evening was peaceful and Sam thought the whole time Rebecca.
arrived home dead tired, he fell into bed. The dead plants back
already forgotten.
