Chapter 23

Where Still Waters Run Deep

Mr. T looked longingly at the huge structure in front of them and turned to the group and announced, “You know, this size not needed anymore. Only width of dime and length of straw needed now for some bad waters. Funny, huh?” Then he picked up his pace to walk around to the other side of it using the metal grated path that was under their feet. He stayed by the wall as he walked.

They stood there looking at a huge piped and glassed-in enclosure that practically took up the room. It also had large pipes leading to it, or leading away, Jahnni wasn’t sure. Inside were thin, extremely thin drapes of some kind that were connected to the top and sides and bottom of the glass pipe enclosure. Jahnni thought the enclosure alone, was probably the width of a dump truck and parked three trucks deep in front of each other if that was any way to make an approximate measurement. There appeared to be several of these drapes, almost like a membrane of sorts, spaced about 6 feet apart. A type of coiling metal, much like the thick copper pipes they saw in the first big pipe, also ran the length of the glass enclosure along the inside walls of this... pipe structure? What in the world? This must be the water purifying thing that Carlton said something about. It’s huge! It’s real! It’s...

“There they are,” a voice bellowed from above. “Hey... Wait right there! We need to talk to you!”

Jahnni and the others turned to see who called out to them, but they had already walked too far under the scaffolding walkways to see who was up there. Jahnni’s heart let out a startled electrical pulse that meant... get going! She froze and stared at Mr. T, waiting for him to tell them which way to go. She glanced back and forth between Beau and Mr. T, waiting for an answer.

“Pops,” Beau interjected, “I need to know right now if you can get us out of here. If not, I am going to plan B. I don’t want to have to, but if it’s us or them, we are the ones who will come out of this on top. Not them, I guarantee it.”

Mr. T waved them along. “Yes. Yes... I can get us out. We are near the exit. Or rather entrance. But we must hurry. What time is it, by the way?” he asked, eyes wide while he waited for an answer.

Jahnni looked at her watch. “It’s almost 4:06, why?”

“We must hurry! The timer is set, and cannot be changed,” he anxiously explained. Sort of.

“What time, for what timer Pops? What are you talking about? Where are we going?” Beau asked as he pushed everyone along trying to keep them protected from behind.

After a few seconds, Mr. T answered anxiously, “Where are we going, you ask? To get wet, that’s where!”
