Waste
A Mysterious Caller
It's been a little over three weeks since I had brought Maxie, Lucas, Lucas Jr., and Max to my home and I really don't know if my mind has been playing awful tricks on me or if I'm actually seeing what I saw. Over these past 3 weeks, I've been seeing a strange man lurk around town but it would only be when we would go out for supplies. For some strange reason the man looked a whole lot like my dad but when I tried to Felicity's attention the man would disappear. I think I'm going fucking bonkers or something and I really don't need that. I sat in my chair in the dead of night on lookout for any Stray or Pack that might lurk throughout the darkness but just like every night, it was quiet. I propped my shotgun against the wall and grabbed the CB from the table to start my nightly calls for anyone.
"Is anyone out there? We're The Guardians and if you can read me please respond." I recited. I've had the same message going out ever since I found this contraption. I waited a few minutes before repeating my words and switching to a different frequency. No one answered and I flipped over to the last one.
"Is there anyone out there? We're The Guardians and if you can read me please respond." I said letting go of the button on the side of the mic.
"Serenity?"
I looked down at the radio and wondered who out there knew my name.
"Is there someone trying to reach me?" I asked again.
"Listen carefully Serenity. Meet me in town in the morning at dawn. I will be at the local department store in the sporting goods section."
"Who is this?" I asked but the line was dead. Who on this God forsaken earth knows my name? The voice ran over and over in my head and it sounded familiar but every new person I meet, their voice sounds familiar. I turned off the radio and left my post to go into the kitchen where Brian was sitting drinking a cup of my strong coffee.
"I just got the weirdest radio call a minute ago." I said sitting down.
"Who from?"
"The person didn't say. All he said was to meet him at the local departmen store in the sporting goods section at dawn." I said totally confused and trying to rack my brain on who's voice had spoken to me.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'll get Felicity to come with me and if you guys are willing to come along that would be great." I said popping my aching knuckles.
"I'll go with you and Felicity just to make sure there are no surprises."
"Are you offering protection?" I said winking and he looked like he had swallowed a frog. I chuckled to myself as I got up and grabbed me a cup from the cabinet and poured me some coffee.
"If you want protection, then go to the grocery store Serenity. You should know that by now." I almost jumped out of my skin when Felicity entered the room.
"You sure do know how to scare the living shit out of someone." I said placing a hand over my heart and sighing.
"You're welcome. So what was that I just heard? A mysterious caller?"
"Yeah. The voice was familiar but I just couldn't place his voice." I said still so confused.
"I guess we'll find out at dawn who this person is and what he wants."
