This week I have a favor to ask you. I'm participating in an anthology for Ataxia Canada.
We are having a Thunderclap for the release of both volumes of "This Beautiful Escape." Would you please care to sign up and share the thunderclap with your readers, family and friends. The post is scheduled for November 24th.
Volume one and Volume two
Thank you.
Now let's go back to our story.
Summary of previous episodes: Clarissa is coughing and wanted to watch Everett Cooper on TV but Jason refused, she is due to get her rainbow the next day but she seems scared, to make her feel better Jason leave the TV on. Clarissa tried to explain about rainbows, she is a big fan of Everett Cooper but Jason is not too sure about it. Clarissa complained about her dialophone but Jason needs to go to work. Before completely leaving he is thinking about getting her her rainbow. We flashed back to the meeting Jason had with a rainbow seller at the black market. Jason left Clarissa's room to go to work. Jason is talking to his boss about the rainbow coming the next day.
He didn’t really want Markus to come, but there was no way around it anymore, and in a way having Markus around with his big muscles was safer for Clarissa. In front of Markus, anyone else than the little girl would be intimidated.
“That type of guys shouldn’t come around the kid,” Markus said.
“I know, but it is the only way to have doctor Marshall examine the rainbow upon delivery. I can't take the doctor to that bar,” Jason said. He rubbed his piece of engine conscientiously.
“He's better tell me that it’s good quality or that guy is done for,” Markus said.

I like Markus and his concern for Clarissa. Nice snippet.
ReplyDeleteMarkus is really a protective sort, isn't he? Seems like a good friend to have.

ReplyDeleteNice snippet. It is intriguing to know more about this rainbow...!!
ReplyDeleteHmm, having someone with muscles around is always a good safe bet for black market deals.
