Spook made his way to him, looking around carefully. He suddenly took off and again they pursued behind him. The zig zag path felt intentional like whoever they followed didn’t want to be tracked.

Again they stopped with Spook searching the ground carefully. “We’re close,” he muttered.

“She’s here,” Seer whispered.

The second he said it, the sound of a gun cocked at Bishop’s ear followed by his weapon being yanked from his pants. “I have your girl,” a male voice said. “She’s safe. I’ll take you to her. Turn real slow.”

Bishop did, finding a man nearly a head taller than him, upper face covered by the top part of an alligator head. But the double barreled shotgun in his face got most of his attention as he considered his words. He had Beth. And she was safe. “Who are you?”

He raised the mask till it rested on top of his head. “Ruckus.”

Seer made his way to his side, staring hard at the man before them. “I know you,” he barely muttered. He pulled his wallet out and opened it, retrieving a paper all while holding the man’s brilliant blue-eyed stare. He seemed to be in a seeing trance as he handed Bishop his wallet and opened the paper. He raised it up before the man and Bishop recognized the picture Maggie had drawn.

“It’s you,” Seer whispered.

“Holy shit,” Spook muttered behind them. “That’s the dude Maggie drew when she touched you.”

Bishop remembered and compared the drawing to the man, not entirely convinced.

“I’ve been waiting a long time for this day,” the man said, his gaze still on Seer who slowly lowered the paper.

“So have I,” Seer said back.
