They squirmed through Act I and as soon as the curtain dropped, Lauren and Kenzi toppled over a few elderly patrons in their rush to get to the exit doors and the street beyond. Once back at the flat, they packed in a frenzy. Kenzi went to work immediately, tapping into her computer in search of a flight to anywhere, again, far and fast. She thought about how she fumed at the sight of Vex. Lauren had to practically sit on Kenzi’s lap to keep her from leaping onstage and wrapping her fingers around Vex’s neck in a chokehold. By the time they got back, Lauren managed to dial down Kenzi from white rage to fuming.
Kenzi called out to Lauren in the bedroom. “We got a flight. How does Barcelona sound?”
Lauren’s voice was clinical and focused. “Like a dream, I’m sure.”
Kenzi emerged in the doorway of Lauren’s room. “If we stay, he’ll kill us both…or worse.” Kenzi imagined the many ways she could make him suffer for letting Massimo go instead of helping her avenge Hale’s death.
“At this point, what could be worse than dying, Kenz?”
“Seeing Bo?” Kenzi crossed her arms.
Lauren kept her head low, focusing on stuffing her few belongings into a suitcase and stocking the medical kit she never seemed to be without. “What we need to do is…” she paused, gathering her thoughts, “I don’t know what I’m talking about. Just got to keep moving.”
Kenzi nodded absorbing Lauren’s pain into her own—what a milky soup they were. “I’ll be ready in a sec,” she said to her friend as she made her way back to her own room, “I’m going to get us into a hotel. Just a few nights.”
Together they agreed, “We’ll decide from there…”
It didn’t take very long to abandon the place they had called home for months. Kenzi waited in the hall as Lauren said her good-byes to the place, a ritual she would repeat soon in the next place and the next. Lauren took a final look around in the abandoned library. She had taken solace in the spines and pages of the stories lining the walls—would hers be added there, too, she mused. Impulsively, she grabbed the collection of Colette she’d been reading and slid it into her leather duffel. For good luck, she thought to herself. Then, as she took in a breath of the dust-filled room in the hope of cementing this ghostly place to memory, Lauren spied a familiar title, one of her favorites. Peter Pan. Echoes of her childhood returned, how she fell in love with the mermaids, and yearned to be lost, the crocodile, Smee.She had to smirk at the irony of playing in a real world of human alligators, monsters, and faeries. She grabbed the book and placed it in her bag next to Colette. For I am lost, too, Lauren thought, and any ideas of ever returning home vanished as she and Kenzi disappeared into the night.
The Mesmer coerced the Box Office Manager for information, forcing the hand of the stooped and balding man to rifle through a stack of paperwork to produce the manifest of attendees at the performance. Vex dropped the man roughly and grabbed at the piece of paper. There, under the list marked Will Call, he saw proof that his eyes had not been playing tricks with him. Bo Dennis. Row A. Seats 1 and 3.
She might kill me. They both might kill me. But I must try for everyone’s sake. And with that Vex made the decision to find them at any cost.
