Chapter Fourteen: The Next Day

The ride back to the hotel was quiet, mostly because Dan was sleeping and Abraham was not much of a talker. John and Steven kept to themselves. Both John and Steven were too distraught to say anything.

John contemplated leaving Italy. He wanted to go back to the apartment, sleep this night away, and plan his escape. Would a train to another airport be the best idea or would going to the airport in Naples be enough? Would the Professor put men out to watch them, but why would he? Was it really only a business transaction, and the Professor wanted nothing more from them? Would the Sabellas leave them alone and let them enjoy their much-needed vacation? Am I being paranoid? Who knows?

Steven was not thinking about whether the Professor’s gang or the local mafia, would kill or betray them. His comforting thoughts focused on the beautiful Sallie DuBois. Steven fantasized taking her away from her dreadful boss and bringing her back to the penthouse. While he had been scared the entire day after getting kidnapped, and who would not be, his anxiety had lessened when Dr. DuBois arrived.

Dan had told him that he was not using the classic, ‘Hi, I’m a surgeon. Can I buy you a drink?’ pickup line. And what if Dan was right? He hated to say that or even think that. He probably needed to get laid on this trip like Dan and John already had. There was still plenty of time. This was only day three.

Dan was lightly snoring. His dreams were not his own. He was dreaming of a wizard war taking place over cliffs and under a dark red sky. The green ball he had hidden in his underwear today was now talking to him in his head in a dull whisper.

“Magic is inside you. If you practice and concentrate, you will learn to direct it and it will also direct you. You will learn to pull energy from the universe, connecting to it through your mind and body, channeling it. Be careful, because sometimes the magic turns the wizard dark if the wizard isn’t strong enough or the wizard doesn’t understand what is happening. Now that you’ve touched the magic, you cannot go back. Pursue this to the end!”
