countered.
“He’s right Chase. Even if I stay, there is nothing to stop him from hurting any of us.”
“I thought you wanted to do what was right?” Chase argued.
Faraday sighed.
“I assure you all. I am not here to harm you, I am here to help you.” Jacob smirked.
“If he wanted to kill us, he would have done it by now.” Sarah agreed.
“I am going to Scotland. He is far more capable than I am.” Faraday stated.
“Well, I guess this is goodbye then.” Chase muttered.
“Good luck everyone.” Faraday said, rising to his feet.
Guy followed Faraday from the apartment and left the others to discuss their plan.
Chapter 15
As they stepped out of the light, the LA sun was beautiful. Guy stared in amazement as he saw another car.
“Incredible.”
“Yes, it must be.” Faraday replied. “Now listen Guy. I don’t know how happy David is going to be to see us.”
“So who exactly is this man?”
“An old friend.” Faraday replied vaguely.
“Then why wouldn’t he be pleased to see you?”
“It’s complicated. I came to see him before we rescued you, he didn’t seem to want anything to do with me. But that was almost twenty years ago, well, to him anyway.”
He led Guy up to the door and rang the bell. In the years since he had last been here the house had deteriorated. The last time he was here, the grass had been trimmed neatly, and the house was white. The garden was now overgrown and the house seemed to be stained brown.
When the door was answered, they were greeted by a young woman, perhaps in her early twenties. She had blonde hair, was slimly built and was taller than Faraday.
“Can I help you?” She smiled pleasantly.
“Yes, I was hoping you could. I was looking for Dr David Lewis.”
The woman suddenly became guarded. “Who are you?” She snapped.
“My name is James Faraday, this is my friend Guy Fawkes.”
“What do you want with my father?”
“I’m an old friend.” Faraday smiled.
The woman frowned slightly as she looked at him. “You had better come in.”
She ushered Guy and Faraday through to the living room.
The inside of the house had also deteriorated since Faraday had been here, only days previously. Both he and Guy took a seat on a stained cream couch.
A large black man came through from the kitchen and looked baffled by the men’s presence.
“Who are they?” He asked the girl somewhat aggressively.
“They are friends of my father Kevin.”
“Your father?” Kevin’s eyes widened. “Should I get Sharon?”
“Please.” The girl replied.
Kevin turned and went back to the kitchen, before he returned with Sharon, she like the house had aged since they last met.
Sharon took a seat on a cream armchair, whilst Kevin and the girl sat on the other couch.
“I recognise you?” Sharon said as she stared at Faraday.
Faraday hadn’t been expecting that, although he reasoned the eye patch probably made him quite memorable. “We met many years ago, I came to visit your husband.”
“Yes, I know who you are.”
“You do?”
“I’ll never forget the face of the man that killed my husband, Mr Faraday.”
Guy stared at Faraday in confusion, Faraday’s jaw was agape. “I’m sorry did you just say that I killed your husband?”
“Yes, that’s exactly what I said.”
“This is the guy?” The girl shouted.
“I’ll kill him!” Kevin yelled.
“Jane, Kevin, calm down.” Sharon cried.
“Your name is Jane?” Faraday asked in astonishment.
“Yes.” She replied a little baffled.
“That was the name of his wife.” Sharon explained.
“I’m a little confused. I did not kill your husband, I was his friend.”
Sharon scowled. “Perhaps you didn’t pull the trigger, but you caused his death.”
“I haven’t seen David since the last time I met you.” Faraday
