Chapter 20
I spent the next several days in and out of my sight tunnels, always focusing on the same one. The Beast’s name that he used most often was Samael, but his identity was as much of a chameleon as he was. He had tracked down nearly every friend I ever had; every time the same series of questions. When was the last time they had talked to me? Did they know of any place that I liked to go that others may not have thought of? If they had to guess where to find me, what is the first place that came to their mind?
None of these interviews produced anything at all. Strangely enough he didn’t go anywhere near Max - which baffled me. If anyone had any idea where I might be, Max would be the logical candidate. I purposely didn’t watch Max for long, only checking on him briefly each day. I knew as soon as I watched for longer than a couple minutes I would feel the need to contact him and doing so would just put both of us at risk. After three full days of watching my new friend Samael, I became so attuned to him that I didn’t even need to shut my eyes to watch him: I could produce the viewing tunnel no matter where I was.
The frustrating part was that he never stayed in the same place two nights in a row - the last three nights he had gone to three separate houses. He seemed to have a veritable fleet of cars that he rotated, never driving the same one frequently. He did seem to follow a regular routine: healthy breakfast of granola and yogurt in the morning, a mid-morning snack, salad for lunch, some sort of a snack mid-afternoon, and for dinner every night, a rare steak. I knew his cell phone number from seeing his screen so many times. I knew he favored dressy shoes and Dockers, but one of his houses had a closet full of suits and ties.
Samael was on a mission: his days were consumed with finding me. He had a massive chart on his wall with everyone he had interviewed as well as their answers to his questions. He had circles and arrows, diamonds and strange symbols, as if he were trying to map out my most likely locations. As it turns out, all the friends I had before my accident were of no help at all.
Marvin from the shooting range had been dismissed by Samael as nothing more than a passing acquaintance. His answers to the questions were written down on the massive chart, but from what I could see, Samael had dismissed them as merely speculation. I knew there wasn’t a great deal Marvin knew about me, but he gave by far the most helpful information. I was appreciative that Samael discounted him and didn’t take his interview very seriously.
I was watching when Marvin told him, “She is strong. She may hab
