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.
He started to rub the bike more decidedly pretending not to notice he was the center of their discussion. If Gena won the fight, he would be able to go get his bus in no time.
“You know how fast this thing goes,” Gena said as if it was the strongest argument she could give against anyone ever wanting to ride on a motorbike.
“I know, that’s why he needs it, going to the desert by bus would take him a week and I’m not even talking about moving around once there, it’s totally impracticable without a bike,” Markus said.
“Then give him another one, this one is too dangerous,” Gena said.
“I don’t have another one worth giving, not for the desert,” Markus said.
The conversation was taking an interesting turn and Jason pretended to concentrate on cleaning without letting one word of it escape him, but looking at the bike, he couldn’t imagine that it could even run out of the room. It seemed to be about to fall apart.

YEs, pretty much.
DeleteYou can't trust these used car (and bike) salesmen.
ReplyDeleteThings are not always what they appear to be. ;)
DeleteInteresting how the other two are discussing his business whole leaving him out of it!
ReplyDeleteI guess they just see him as a kid.
DeleteJudging by what they're saying, this bike is faster than it looks!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you nailed it. ;)
DeleteWell, how fast IS the bike? Are you just going to throw us this huge curveball over the bike? LOL
ReplyDeleteThat's for an other snippet, when Jason is actually going to try it.
DeleteLooks aren't everything!
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeleteDoes this bike fly?
ReplyDeleteIt might but don't tell anyone. ;)
DeleteAnother one ? There's a good idea :-)
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a good idea. Personally I might agree with Gena, but...
DeleteThis bike is going to be fast. Is it magical?
ReplyDeleteHow fast is this bike. Great snippet.
