《On The Run From A Dragon》Day Four: Part Three
Advertisement
It was a nice day for the most part after they had got out of the bomb shelter. Tom helped Jimmy out in the back yard removing a tree stump and other stuff round the house. June brought them drinks and snacks as they worked. The only out of the ordinary thing was when Tom tried to check the time on his phone. It was dead, so he tried charging it and only to found out it was truly dead. This was his third phone that stopped working this year. June's dad said under his breath 'wizard' and asked.
"Have you thought about not caring one round all the time?"
Tom looked puzzled and asked.
"What if I need to make a call or look something up on line?"
Jimmy looked at Tom for a long while.
"Tom, why don't wizards use anything electrical?"
The idea hit Tom like a hammer. Magic brakes the Laws Of Physics and Science cry's in the corner unit the Universe put it's self back together. Jimmy lightly hit him on the arm.
"Hey, you ok in there?"
Tom looked round the yard and then at June's dad.
"Yeah, I'm good. Just had my view world changed a bit."
Jimmy nodded and smirked at him.
"Ok, can you finish up out here please. I need to make some calls."
Tom did a slow nod and worked half-hearted as new thoughts popped in or out of his mind.
As Jimmy in walked into the kitchen from the backyard, he turned to June who was staring at Tom from the window by the sink.
"June, I know you have been doing it all day, but keep a eye on Tom."
She let out a "Daaad!" as he made his way to the study. He closed the door and sat down at the desk. Picking up the phone and dialed the number for the District Attorney office. It rang two times and before someone picked it up.

"Hello, this is Benjamin at the DA office, how can I help you?"
Jimmy smiled and said.
"Hey Ben, it's me Jimmy.
On the other side of the phone.
"Hey man, how a is retirement going?"
Jimmy replied.
"Good, it's good. But I'm calling you today because of that missing persons cases on the News last night."
There was a sigh from Benjamin.
"Look you're retired now, I can't give you any info about it, but if you know anything I'm more than happy to listen."
Jimmy didn't get angry or anything. He still had more questions to try.
"Yes, I do have some info for you."
He could all most hear Benjamin get closer to the phone.
"The woman is my daughter and the guy is her boyfriend, but that's not why I'm calling you."
This knocked Benjamin off his game.
"Jimmy, I humm… Didn't know. Wait, why did you call then?"
Now this is when Jimmy did get a little mad.
"What I want to know is why Zaheera The Mind Raper is showing up at my house and looking for my daughter! Now maybe you can tell what the hell is going on?"
The line was quite for some time as Benjamin was at a loss for words.
"Ok, I don't know what her boyfriend did, but some how he pissed off the Fire Tail Clan. They're moving a lot of money and manpower to find this guy. I don't know if they did hired Zaheera, but you should stay away from him. Also I am not telling you any of this and you never called me."
Benjamin hung up on him after that. He sat there thinking to himself. Something didn't add up here. She was just looking for June and not Tom. He knew of an information broker he could try, but Jimmy would have to go to him. He walked out of his study and found Tom and June at the kitchen table talking.

"Tom, get cleaned up and I'll see if I have an old suit that will fit you."
They both looked a bit concerned and Tom asked.
"What's go'n on?"
June's dad a waved hand in the air to dispel they're worries.
"It's nothing, just going into town for some business and I like for Tom to come with me.
June's dad got him the suit and Tom got a shower. It was a bit big on him, but June thought he looked nice in it. Jimmy drove them out to Rockrum City and it was all most ten by the time they got there. The bar and grill restaurant was called The Iron Mug. The place looked it was a made-hand construction of wood and stone. Before the both of them walked in, Jimmy asked Tom.
"Ok, have you seen god father?"
Tom nodded and asked.
"Are we meeting someone like him?
Jimmy laughed and told him.
"No, he's just an information broker. You are going to be my muscle. So look tough and don't say anything."
He nodded and didn't say anything. They entered through the doors to see a hostess who was a dwarf girl with a long pink beard. She looked the two over and greeted them.
"Just the two of you?"
Jimmy put his hands in the outside pockets of his coat and said.
"Yes, but we are here to see Frank. Is he in?"
She didn't look pleased and just said.
"Follow."
