When Connie brought the salads back, we dove in and ate them quickly. Then, while we were waiting for our dinner, Linda started in on Karl."Unka K, do...I have to go with you to pick up Megan? I could stay with Unka D while you go up there." Hon, that's askin' a lot of him. He's not used to havin' someone around like you. You'd probably drive him up a wall." No I wouldn't. I promise I'll be good."While Linda was looking at Karl, I got his attention and just nodded that it would be all right with. My name is Kurt," he managed to get out after a few seconds."Where is she now?" The Wizard's men took her away a long time ago. They beat me up before that," he stuttered but from the low level of fear and other scents that I could detect coming from him, I was sure that he wasn't telling the whole truth."And just how did you know where to find Celeste?" I demanded from closer to him."Th ... the Wizards came to our school. They had an old picture of Celeste and wanted to know who knew her.. I was told to show up at the club before 8pm as the doors opened up at 9pm the strippers would start exactly at 10 pm , being that most of them wouldn't arrive till 9:30 they had to do something to keep the customers from leaving before the strippers started dancing.I arrived on time and was met at the door by the manager he told me he had a few of the stripper interested in being hypnotized and would be here within 15 minutes.It wasn't long after that some of the strippers started showing up. She struggled like I was trying to kill her. She hurt me in a couple of places. I have this scratch on my neck.”We all paused to examine the red mark down the side of her neck.“And I have a bruise on my ribs. It wasn’t a lot of fun.”At that moment, the bell rang for the start of home room. We separated and went to our places. I sat in my chair and stared down at my hands neatly folded in my lap. I allowed the morning routine to sweep around me.What had gone wrong? I’d been so sure that after.
