in crime.
James grabbed it while staring at the
ground, his mind fixated on other things. “I am still confused
about what happened back there.”
“ Which part, our new lives
as fugitives from justice or your strange new powers?”
“ It’s like I felt some
weird energy all of a sudden and then I was able to get us here
without thinking from the alleyway where we ditched the motorbike
to the airport, supposedly miles and miles apart.” He ignored her
slightly.
“ Instant teleportation”
she smiled. “It is actually quite unusual to develop mental
abilities but it has been done. Maybe we practice you could become
good at it.”
“ Really? You think I can
make it happen again on purpose?”
“ Think now… concentrate on
being in another place. Where is the nearest pizza joint?” She
laughed all of a sudden.
“ Very funny.”
“ I’m just teasing you
James, you got a real gift. Don’t run from it. Embrace it,
Dude.”
“ Same thing happened when
we were in the jail cells and I felt something come over me. I wish
I could say it was like nothing that I have ever felt before but I
had similar experiences as a kid many years ago. Maybe I am crazy.”
He shook his head.
“ Or maybe you’re gifted.”
She nodded with a smile. “Not to mention quite cute”, she
said.
They both laughed slightly sharing a
casual smile. “Thanks, what do you think of this?” He showed off a
flannel work shirt he pulled out of the bag.
“ Awesome.” She replied.
“Let’s get on line at the airport, unless you can think and get us
teleported again.”
“ I wish I could” he closed
his eyes and concentrated, “but I guess I am all zapped out” he
laughed. “I honestly don’t understand how I did it. I just focused
on the fear I felt riding on the back of that demon
machine.”
“ Well. Don’t worry. We’ll
use convention.” She said.
Tina and James had donned their new
disguises to hide themselves from the law. James wore a black
leather jacket with silver stars studded on it from their grab bag
and dark sun glasses that he found in the side compartment of the
bike that they stole. He tucked in his shirt and slicked his hair
back to appear more vicious as he smiled. And Tina had worn a plaid
shirt and denim jacket from the bag and also items from a local
department store bag that she seized for her cosmetic disguising
like a blonde wig, with her notorious sense of rapidness or the
“old five finger discount” as she put it. She rolled up the sleeves
to her elbows and topped off her appearance with the blonde wig and
a pair of maroon shaded sunglasses, to cover her face. The duo
strode down Main Street together arms akimbo none the wiser that
they were a wanted man and woman.
CHAPTER 27
Downtown Chronix Bay was
quiet that night without a movement of any wind but stillness
begotten outside of the small shop of sorrows and happiness
intertwined. The sign outside read “ Fortune Teller: extremely low prices, 100% accuracy
readings ”. The lack of a proper college
education was enough for even James to realize the grammatical
inaccuracies.
“ What do you think?” Asked
Tina as the duo stood silently in front of the shop.
“ At least it’s a place to
hide for now. Nothing else seems to be open, not even a Motel
6.”
“ Like we could afford it,”
she added and they laughed silently at the poor attempt at humor
and entered the shop.
The interior of the shop was lit with
an old world sense of charm and wonder of mystic mysteriousness as
candelabra hung from the ceiling painting a vivid flashback to
yesteryear.
“ It is like travelling
back in time,” James thought as he looked around until he noticed
the candles were replaced by electric fixtures but still
maintaining the ancient rustics of the old mixed with the new.
“It’s completely different from the outside” said James.
“ Huh?” Tina whispered in
response followed by a belligerent and sudden yell. “Help!” Tina
yelled at the top
