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.
Jason was only listening with one ear
but that was enough to nod.
“Always lock your door when you are
inside. You need to make sure nobody will come surprise you while you
sleep. Always keep the moon catcher, crystal and keys off the
motorbike with you, never leave anything in the bike's box, keep your
money hidden. That’s for the thievery part,” Markus said.
That sounded pretty much like what
Jason had to do in the city, except for the water.
Markus poured himself a glass of wine,
Jason hadn’t touch his, he didn’t feel like getting drunk and he
knew that it would happen with the first glass. He hadn’t slept for
so long.
