  • Excerpt
  • ~~~~~James
  • lost
  • his
  • footing
  • as
  • he
  • heard
  • what
  • John
  • said
  • to
  • him
  • and
  • felt
  • the
  • sweat
  • working
  • its
  • way
  • down
  • his
  • back.
  • James
  • felt
  • like
  • he
  • was
  • going
  • to
  • pass
  • out. John
  • looked
  • at
  • him
  • and
  • took
  • a
  • better
  • grip
  • of
  • James
  • arm
  • to
  • steady
  • him.
  • John
  • then
  • started
  • to
  • guide
  • him
  • out
  • of
  • the
  • museum
  • when
  • a
  • loud
  • explosion
  • was
  • heard
  • outside. This
  • cause
  • James
  • to
  • become
  • more
  • alert
  • and
  • started
  • to
  • run
  • outside
  • following
  • behind
  • John
  • and
  • almost
  • running
  • into
  • him.
  • John
  • had
  • stopped
  • several
  • steps
  • outside. James
  • followed
  • John
  • gaze
  • as
  • he
  • saw
  • the
  • taxi
  • car
  • engulf
  • in
  • flame
  • and
  • could
  • see
  • Frank’s
  • form
  • also
  • engulf
  • in
  • flame
  • in
  • the
  • car.
  • James
  • was
  • about
  • to
  • run
  • toward
  • the
  • car
  • when
  • John
  • stood
  • in
  • his
  • path
  • and
  • gently
  • pushed
  • him
  • back,
  • “There
  • is
  • nothing
  • you
  • can
  • do,
  • it’s
  • too
  • late
  • for
  • the
  • man,
  • and
  • he’s
  • dead
  • already!” James
  • stood
  • about
  • 260
  • feet
  • from
  • Frank
  • and
  • the
  • taxi.
  • He
  • let
  • a
  • few
  • tears
  • drip
  • from
  • his
  • eyes
  • as
  • if
  • he
  • knew
  • Frank
  • for
  • a
  • while.
  • John
  • shoved
  • James
  • in
  • the
  • opposite
  • direction
  • from
  • the
  • museum. Many
  • people
  • were
  • running
  • out
  • of
  • the
  • museum
  • in
  • terror.
  • The
  • two
  • men
  • that
  • had
  • been
  • across
  • the
  • street
  • started
  • crossing
  • the
  • street
  • and
  • continued
  • toward
  • John
  • and
  • James.
  • John
  • noticed
  • a
  • slight
  • bulk
  • in
  • one
  • of
  • the
  • man’s
  • jacket.
  • His
  • life
  • experiences
  • allowed
  • him
  • to
  • quickly
  • realize
  • it
  • was
  • a
  • gun. The
  • other
  • man
  • slid
  • his
  • hand
  • into
  • his
  • pocket
  • and
  • pulled
  • out
  • a
  • cigarette
  • and
  • a
  • lighter;
  • trying
  • to
  • look
  • likes
  • part
  • of
  • the
  • crowd.
  • He
  • lit
  • the
  • cigarette
  • revealing
  • the
  • back
  • of
  • his
  • hand.
  • On
  • the
  • back
  • of
  • his
  • hand
  • was
  • an
  • embedded
  • tattoo
  • of
  • a
  • pentagram
  • with
  • five-pointed
  • star
  • pointing
  • down
  • with
  • the
  • head
  • of
  • the
  • Egyptian
  • magic
  • god
  • Seth
  • superimposed
  • on
  • the
  • inverted
  • pentagram
  • with
  • in
  • a
  • “sacred”
  • circle,
  • belonging
  • to
  • the
  • Coven
  • of
  • Seth. When
  • John
  • was
  • part
  • of
  • the
  • special
  • force
  • team
  • in
  • the
  • army,
  • he
  • and
  • his
  • team
  • once
  • raided
  • a
  • satanic
  • house
  • with
  • many
  • colt
  • descriptions.
  • The
  • Coven
  • of
  • Seth
  • was
  • described
  • as
  • one
  • of
  • the
  • most
  • dangerous
  • and
  • most
  • active
  • colts
  • still
  • together
  • today.
  • “Quickly,
  • no
  • time
  • to
  • explain,
  • just
  • run”
  • John
  • shouted
  • at
  • the
  • air;
  • as
  • he
  • picked
  • up
  • speed. John
  • reached
  • behind
  • his
  • wind
  • breaker
  • and
  • pulled
  • out
  • a
  • gun.
  • “They’re
  • coming
  • for
  • us”
  • James
  • was
  • pulled
  • by
  • John
  • in
  • the
  • opposite
  • direction
  • of
  • the
  • taxi.
  • James
  • started
  • to
  • run
  • asking.
  • “You
  • believe
  • that
  • they
  • were
  • after
  • me?” In
  • acknowledgment,
  • John
  • nodded
  • his
  • head
  • in
  • agreement.
  • They
  • rounded
  • the
  • corners
  • and
  • came
  • to
  • an
  • alley
  • way,
  • where
  • they
  • stopped.
  • John
  • turned
  • his
  • head
  • around
  • the
  • corner
  • to
  • look. The
  • two
  • men
  • were
  • about
  • to
  • cross
  • the
  • street
  • toward
  • them.
  • Gun
  • in
  • hand
  • John
  • pushed
  • James
  • to
  • move
  • a
  • little
  • faster.
  • The
  • alley
  • way
  • was
  • located
  • behind
  • a
  • row
  • of
  • older
  • buildings.
  • As
  • John
  • went
  • he
  • tried
  • some
  • of
  • the
  • doors
  • which
  • were
  • locked. They
  • covered
  • about
  • two
  • blocks
  • where
  • they
  • came
  • to
  • a
  • construction
  • site.
  • They
  • climbed
  • stairs
  • to
  • a
  • vantage
  • point
  • that
  • was
  • about
  • 20
  • feet
  • above
  • ground.
  • The
  • two
  • men
  • came
  • up
  • to
  • the
  • construction
  • site,
  • John
  • and
  • James
  • were
  • able
  • to
  • take
  • cover. The
  • sirens
  • were
  • getting
  • closer
  • and
  • someone
  • had
  • gotten
  • a
  • fire
  • extinguisher
  • and
  • had
  • been
  • working
  • on
  • trying
  • to
  • control
  • the
  • fire.
  • One
  • of
  • the
  • pursers
  • said
  • to
  • the
  • other
  • “Look
  • we
  • got
  • to
  • get
  • out
  • of
  • here
  • before
  • the
  • cops
  • show
  • up
  • and
  • start
  • asking
  • questions
  • we’ll
  • get
  • them
  • later”
  • and
  • took
  • off
  • in
  • the
  • opposite
  • direction
  • of
  • the
  • construction site.
