Excerpt:
Chauncy and Rebecca arrived at home from the hospital late afternoon. Chauncy was still thinking about what happened the night before. He wondered how he ended up in the hospital, what it was that Tre had given him.
“Did I really run through a wall?” He thought to himself.
He went over the details of his capture and escape over and over in his mind. What he could remember. Everything was still a little fuzzy to him. His thoughts were cloudy. He didn’t know what was real and what wasn’t.
Rebecca was grateful to have Chauncy back, safe. She went into the kitchen and grabbed a wineglass from the cabinet. After filling the glass, she went back to the livingroom and took a seat. She started taking sips of her wine. Chauncy paced back and forth, trying to figure things out in his head.
“Chauncy, come sit down, baby. You are making me nervous.” She said.
“I’m sorry, it’s just that last night…” Chauncy replied.
“Well, you are fine. That’s all I’m worried about.”
“Yea, I guess you’re right.” Chauncy responded.
Chauncy finally decided to take a seat and sat down beside Rebecca. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek while balancing her glass of wine. Chauncy was still nervous, he kept bouncing his knees while he sat, he couldn’t relax.
“I need to talk to Tre… last night… you just wouldn’t believe… I have to talk to Tre.” Chauncy said, almost incoherently.
“Well, why don’t you go talk to him? We just dropped him off at his hotel. Think he’s still there?” Rebecca said.
Chauncy picked up his phone and dialed Tre’s hotel. The phone rang and rang. He hangs up and puts the phone back in his pocket.
“No Answer.” Said Chauncy.
“I hope he’s alright.” Said Rebecca.
Chauncy waited about 10 minutes then tried to dial Tre’s hotel room again. Still no answer. Just as he was about to take a seat beside Rebecca, the doorbell rings. Chauncy looks over at Rebecca and Rebecca looks back. She gets up, still holding her glass of wine and walked over to answer the door. Chauncy started back pacing back and forth in front of the sofa.
“Heeey, Rebecca! Chauncy around? Just figured I’d stop by and check on you two.” Tre said as Rebecca opened the door.
Chauncy heard Tre at the door and rushed over to see him.
“Hey Chauncy. I know you probably have a few questions for me.” Tre said.
“Damn right I have some questions. What was that shi—”
“Shhhh” Tre stopped Chauncy.
“No one is supposed to know about what we took yesterday. It’s VERY experimental. You haven’t talked to the police, have you?” Tre continued, whispering.
“I didn’t say anything. I figured it was something you were working on… wanted to talk to you about it first. We can talk out here…” Chauncy said, motioning for Tre to follow.
