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.
We start just where we left off last week.
Two men were arguing about him in the corner of the pub. Jason tried not to show his interest in their conversation.
“I’m telling you, he will never
come here, what would he do? There are no rainbows to catch so close
to the desert's border,” the first man said raising a hand and
letting it fall back on his newspaper as if to show it was better to
give up.
“He would be way better around here,
the rainbow are coming, I calculated it, there will be plenty of
rainbows really soon,” the second man said smoothing a brown paper
bag.
“Always the same, you always
calculate the rainbows but there is always something going wrong in
the end and they don’t come,” the first man answered. His
mustache moved when he spoke but Jason didn't see him open his mouth.
“See by yourself,” the second man
said moving a piece of dirty brown paper bag under the nose of the
other.
