Blackbird Fly Part Five
The Freeway
Before he made it to the bus stop, an obnoxious car horn began honking repeatedly.
Mitchell Gannon
"I thought that was you, Jack," the guy in the car said in a jovial manner.
"Yeah, you're from chemistry. I can't remember your name."
"That's okay. I'm Mitchell Gannon."
"Grad night was a blast," Mitchell said.
"Are you okay? Your shirt is torn."
"I'm not sure," Jack responded in a sarcastic manner.
"I'm going a bit of a distance."
"That's okay. Get in. I've got all day."
Mitchell dropped Jack off at the sanctuary.
"It was great running into you, Jack. Let's get together for lunch or something."
Back at the Bird Sanctuary
As Mitchell drove away, Jack noticed his car was covered in bird poop.
"What is this? What happened?"
He went into the administrator's office to inquire about the bird poop.
"Excuse me, sir," Jack spoke to the man sitting at the desk.
The man looked up and responded, "Yes."
"Yes, I remember her. She said you two had a fight and she needed to get away as soon as possible."
"What did you do to her?" Jack asked. "She's gone missing."
The Sheriff
Once he arrived home, he saw the sheriff's car in the driveway.
Upon entering the house, his mom and the sheriff were standing in the living room talking.
"Jack, this is Sheriff Sampson."
"Hello Jack, let's sit down and talk."
"I'll be in the kitchen if anybody needs me," Jack's mom mentioned as she exited the living room.
"Jack, how are you today?" The sheriff sternly asked.
"When did you last see Angelita?" The sheriff abruptly changed the tone of the conversation.
"Oh yes, Xochitl Jimenez. Did you know her?"
"No, I've only known Angelita for ten months."
"Well, now we have two missing girls."
Jack nodded quietly as the sheriff continued speaking.
"Jack, you were gone all night. Where were you?"
Jack contemplated whether he should tell the sheriff about his flight or not.
"No, uh," Jack laughed nervously as he ruffled his shirt.
"Are you high, Jack? Are you on drugs? Have you been drinking?"
"No sheriff. No, nothing like that."
The sheriff skimmed over his notes quickly. Then continued questioning.
"I don't. I've never heard of the Pizza Shack until now."
"Has Angelita said anything to you about Xochitl's disappearance?"
The Dream
Hold steady! Hold still... Come back soon for Part Six of this continuing saga.
Thank you to Tiffany Gordon and J.S. Wade for your help and inspiration.

Logic and reason are not always explanation enough.
Logic and reason are not always explanation enough. Understanding is elusive He sat looking at the half empty glass but not seeing it, he was cold but not feeling it, he was in pain but not hurting from it. His mind was numb, his memory a jumble of conflicting events, as if from a nightmare but were in fact real. The phone rang for a long time before it gained his attention and then he tried to turn it off, an automatic reaction against coming back to reality. His mind preferred the numbness to anything else that was available. In this distracted state he accidentally accepted the call and put it onto speaker, the voice from the speaker jolted him into giving it his full attention. This was a call from the dead. The voice was full of concern, “where are you John, why haven’t you called, what is going on?” Even to his own ears his tone sounded subdued, defeated, “I am in the cabin, in the woods but I am OK will call you later” and he turned the phone off both ending this call and not accepting any other.
