EIGHTEEN

“San Francisco has a new hero tonight and from the response to this cell phone video taken earlier today, he’s setting hearts across the Bay Area aflutter.” The evening news was on and Jenna and Cormac sat in total amazement as the news anchor continued. “Earlier today, a woman was robbed of her purse and cell phone outside a local coffee shop. The victim tells us that a man wearing a kilt ran after her assailant, and not only retrieved her possessions, but also captured the thief, disarming him of a knife.”

Cormac recognized the woman he helped when she appeared on the screen. She was smiling brightly as she described what happened. “His friend ran after him, turned her ankle and fell. He picked her up and carried her back, all the while holding my attacker by the scruff of the neck. It was unbelievable, like something you’d see in a movie.” The video continued, showing the woman hugging Cormac tightly around the waist and followed their every move, even as far as Cormac picking Jenna up and carrying her away as the crowd applauded.

“Oh my God,” Jenna said. “You’re on the news!”

Cormac’s mouth had dropped open as he watched the television disbelievingly. “Jenna, how did I get inside the box?”

“You’re not in the box, Cormac. Someone took a video of the whole event with their cell phone.”

“I dinnae ken what ye speak of.”

Jenna pulled her cell phone out of her pocket and held it up, waving it in front of him. Cormac nodded his head at her, but was still deeply puzzled. “It takes photos and video,” Jenna said. Cormac shook his head and shrugged his shoulders. “Watch, I’ll take a picture of the two of us. Come closer and look at the phone.” Cormac did as he was instructed and Jenna held the phone up in front of them. He could clearly see himself in the phone’s glass screen. “Okay. Smile.” He glanced at Jenna and saw her smiling brightly. He did the same and she took the photo before turning the screen back towards him. “Now look. See, there we are.”

“Is it magick?” Cormac questioned, studying the screen carefully.

“No, silly, it’s technology. I can’t believe you’ve never seen a cell phone. You must be the only person left on the planet who hasn’t.”

Cormac nodded slowly, still fascinated by the photo. “Aye. Ye may be right.”

“So, if I push this button, it takes a video.” Jenna pointed the cell phone at Cormac, who furrowed his brow.

“What is it doing now?”

“You’ll see.” She stopped the video and played it back for him.

“If I didnae see it with my own eyes, I wouldnae believe it.” He took the cell phone from her hands. “Can I see it again?”

“Sure. Touch the arrow on the screen,” Jenna showed him how to replay the video. “So you see, someone at the coffee shop had their phone out and recorded everything. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not. If they find out where you are, they’ll be camped out on our doorstep wanting to talk to you.
