Chapter 13 – Pam

The house was not too far from the Bradley Institute. They could get there in fifteen minutes simply by walking. Misty was staring at the clock on the wall. She had promised that she would be home before dinner. She hoped that this wasn’t going to take too long. The old woman motioned everyone to take a seat. Pam was also worried. Her children would be home soon, but she hadn’t called to say she’d be late. They were with her mother at the moment so they would be safe. She just didn’t know about this old woman. She was standing around, looking at all the photos. She felt like this should make more sense to her, but it didn’t.

“I guess we should thank you for helping us,” she began. “I don’t know what we’d do without you.”

“Oh, it’s no problem. Like I said before, make yourselves at home.”

Even though they all wanted to sit down, they were hesitant to do so. The house looked almost too perfect and quiet. They didn’t even know if they could trust this old woman. How did she know they would be at the arena? Did she see them walk down there? Why would she want to help them? Pam could not stop staring at the photos. They were of this woman when she was much younger but there was something familiar about them. She felt a connection that she didn’t understand.

“Well, go ahead. You don’t want to spend the whole time standing, do you?” She asked. “Your feet are going to get tired.”

“We’re just a little shaken by all this. That’s all,” Crystal said, finally taking a seat. “We just want to take a minute and think about what happened.”

“I know, dear. Take a moment to catch your breath. You had quite a scare back there. I almost thought you were going to get away. Thank God you listened to me and came down here.”

“Who are you?” Misty asked. “Were you spying on us or something?”

“I only checked up on you because you went to that arena. It’s the first time in ages that anyone besides the police went there. I had to make sure that you were all right,” she said. “You crossed into some dangerous territory. If Project 99 found you, then…”

“Project 99?” Ren cut her off. “Are you part of them?”

“I am, but not in the way that you think. I’m on your side,” she explained. “I have always been on your side.”

“Prove it.” Ash crossed his arms and glowered at her. “How do I know you don’t want to hurt us?”

The woman ignored his question and looked over at him. It wasn’t the clothes or the snooty look on his face that got her attention. She kept staring into those glowering blue eyes and it suddenly hit her. “Oh my! I almost didn’t recognize you! It’s been so long since I’ve seen you.”

“Do I know you?”

“Can it be?” She whispered, trying to touch Ash’s cheek. He pulled away.
