Welcome to a new excerpt of Rainbow Catcher for the Weekend Writing Warrior and Snippet Sunday.
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 was talking to his boss about the rainbow coming the next day. Jason prepared the money for the rainbow in a sport bag and went to the hospital. The rainbow seller arrived for the delivery. But it was a scam and Jason prepares to go get the rainbow himself in the desert. Markus has a last surprise for him.
“Let’s clean it up and you’ll see,” Markus said turning it off.
Jason didn’t want to waste more time, but he also didn’t know what to do after getting in the bus and he wanted to have Markus opinion on the path to follow. It seemed easy enough. Go to the desert, find a rainbow and bring it back. He already had a cold case to transport it, he had paid dearly for it, but except getting in the bus, he had no idea on how he would find a rainbow without a radar. He didn’t want to be one of those guys following the calculation of Everett Cooper and getting what he left, he needed a clean purple rainbow and fast. Nobody would let him have something so rare. He would have to take it.

Uh-oh. Sounds like Jason is heading down a desperate, maybe dangerous path.
ReplyDeleteQuite the challenge he's facing! But I have confidence in Jason. Great snippet...
ReplyDeleteYou've got me wondering what a rainbow looks like on radar. Perhaps like a thunderstorm ... but I doubt it's anything so prosaic.
ReplyDeleteFinding rainbows with radar, interesting. I wonder how they use them?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see a rainbow on radar myself.
ReplyDelete"Would have to take it"? Uh... Oh... I smell a whole lot of trouble in those words!
ReplyDeleteThat "have to take it" line has me wondering how many others are out there hunting them too.
ReplyDeleteI went back and read the last two excerpts. This is getting exciting now! The motorbike adds a kind of "Easy Rider" vibe to it. ;-)

ok - he's getting desperate, hopefully he won't do anything stupid.
ReplyDeletePoor guy, getting desperate.
ReplyDeleteHe's determined. I hope he finds that rainbow. :)
