Chapter 7

Yames said bye to the waitress, who was now walking to another table with a late night meal for someone, and made his way out of the diner He stepped out side and saw the dingy black motorcycle parked next to the diner, "Must belong to the guy inside," he thought. There was a blue bandanna tied to the handle bars of the bike. Yames had started to become worried at the amount of blue object he had encountered in the last 48 hours. "Have I always seen surrounded by this much blue? Why have I been noticing it so much recently? What had happened the other night when I woke up in my bed with the cuts?" Yames was at a loss. His stomach felt empty from the coffee. He walked back to the apartment. It was now 2:30 a.m. and no one else was out on the streets.
Yames awoke to the jarring sound of a football announcer screaming into his microphone while the Falcons made a touch down. He looked up at his celling in disbelieve, "How could anyone listen to their television that loud." His body is soar and he does not feel rested. Then it occurred to him, "What time is it!" He look over at the clock it was 12 p.m. we was supposed to be at work four hours ago. He races out of the bed and begins to run towards the shower. While he shuts the bathroom door he catches another glimpse of the clock. It was indeed 12:03 p.m., but the clock said saturday. "How can that be? Yesterday was Monday so today is Tuesday." He begins to run a fever. "Whats has happened to the last week!" He looks in the mirror and sees it. He has a large blue triangle tattooed across his chest. He smashes the mirror in a fit of rage. Knuckles bloody he returns to his room for some pants and a shirt.
He runs out side almost being hit by a man on a motorcycle. Someone had mindlessly parked their car in the middle of the parking lot. He runs all the way to Dina's praying the whole time that waitress would be there. He opens the door and sees that she is indeed there taking some ones order. She looked up at him in a startled manner.
She and Yames had known each other for a while, but they were not the kind of friends that went to each other in their time of need. When she looked up Yames realized, "What am i doing? Storming in here?" This does not stop him though he runs over to her.
"We have to go. I need to talk to you."
"What? What are you talking about I am at work. Can't we talk later?"
"No. Look I need help. I think I need help. You are the ONLY person i know please come with me."
The people at the booth look at Yames like hw is some kind of junkie high out of his mind. The waitress agres to come, but she would need to go back and let Dina know. She was not sure that she knew what she was doing, but something in her told her that she had to go.

  1. At the counter a strange man, knuckles dripping with blood, seemed to be harassing a young waitress

  2. He glanced around the restaurant, his eyes landing on his target. The man named Yames was leaning against the counter, blood dripping down his knuckles as he frantically whispered to the distressed waitress. Emilio moved towards the counter and sat down at a bar stool, placing the box on the stool next to him. Occasionally glancing towards the pair, he patiently waited until they were done talking so he could make his move.

  3. As I'm waiting, I see a rather disgruntled young man come in with a blue triangle tattoo on his forehead. Strange. He goes over to a startled waitress and begins to harass her. You think he'd take the hint that she didn't want to talk to him. Jeez, people these days.

  4. He slunk out of his apartment and around the block, arriving at the Jamaican place the same time as a man who was eminating a strong blue aura. Cobb was momentarily stunned. It was as if someone had dumped a bucket of the bluest ocean water over his head that was also mixed with Windex, blue paint, crushed robin's egg shells and a member of the Blue Man Group. A small amount of drool slipped out of Cobb's mouth as he struggled to breathe through the suffocating aura. "Buu...Blll....Bloooo," Cobb dribbled. The spittle fell onto the floor and Cobb received a look from the restaurant owner similar to the one he had just received from his bonsais. Again, Cobb was not sure whether it was caused by his sunburn or what had just come out of his mouth.
