Chapter Twenty-Four

Sam

He sat staring out the window. The sun was shining and the birds were singing but he felt closed off from it. It was as if he had taken drugs that inhibited how he felt. Everything felt thick and sluggish. His mind moved as if it too were impaired.

“Sam I need your help.”

He looked at Lorri and shrugged. He didn’t feel like helping. He made himself get up. He imagined the years when Hanna was a little girl and how hard her mother must have faked loving her and enjoying being with her. It must have been exhausting to pretend.

“I need you to hang out with this guy for the night. You can’t come with us, obviously, but you can hang out with him. If he tries to get away from you, flash him to this picture okay?”

He looked at the water fountain, he had seen it before. He knew the area well. He nodded, “I guess.”

“He’s chained in Hanna’s room for the night. He’s in the chains we have left over from Marcus. The enchanted ones. He can probably get out of them but not without you seeing what he’s doing. If he flashes, follow his trail and text me.”

Sam shrugged, “Why?”

“He’s a bad man. I need to double check his story.”

Sam left the room and walked the great hallway until he reached Hanna’s room. She stood in the corner twirling her red hair around her finger and smiling at the man chained to the corner.

“How uncomfortable do I make you on a scale of one to ten.”

The man looked at him and sighed, “It was a nine but since he got here it’s an eleven, maybe fifteen.”

She turned to see Sam and dropped her hair and her smile, “Lorri wanted me to pester him. He hates me.”

Sam shrugged, “It’s cool.”

She frowned, “It doesn’t bother you?”

He shook his head, “I feel nothing for you, or anyone.”

Her face twisted, “See you later Oliver.” She walked out trying to maintain her composure. He’d seen that walk before. He wasn’t usually the recipient of it.

He glanced at the guy in the chains and smirked, “I’m Sam.”

He nodded, “Oliver. So you’re the entertainment are you Sam?”

He shook his head, “I’m the tattletale. If you escape I rat you out. I have this weird gift with my flashes, I can track another persons flash. Like you leave a scent for me to follow.”

Oliver laughed, “You really are the perfect man to watch me then.”

“I guess.”

Oliver raised an eyebrow at him and nodded toward the door, “What’s with you and the Siren? She has no effect on you at all?”

Sam shook his head, “Nope. Used to. Used to be my match.”

Oliver scowled, “Oh that was a mistake son. No one can live through the darkness that comes to eat your soul when there is no love in it.”

Sam shrugged, “Hope it doesn’t come before I’m done watching you, then you’d get away.”

The man’s face looked proud and sad simultaneously, “My son would have loved you.
