chapter 4

949 Words
I wait for three more minutes as we had agreed with my crew before switching the lights back on.I quickly stumble my way back to the other room and switch the other bulb on.Then I hurry back the same way I had come.But this time I don't stop in the room we had been earlier.I go all the way back to the hotel corridors filled with rushing workers.There are those that are screaming too.This is a good progress so far.I hope it will end well too. "He was real! I saw him! I saw him!"A lady in waiters uniform screams.lights illuminates her teary face and trembling body.She isn't the only one behaving wildly.And this is my manifestation.Iam now beginning to feel guilty.But I have already committed the transgression.The best thing now is to make sure it ends well. There is another waiter silently seated on a bench across where I stand.I make my way towards her. "Hey! You okay?"I ask in a faked voice as I take a seat beside her.She only shrugs. "Can you believe this?"She asks with trembling lips. "what exactly happened?"I ask wanting to know if things went according to the plan. "We were serving tables, while the guests took turns on the stage to deliver speeches.when one of those South American president was about to move on stage, the lights went off.No one thought it a big deal until he appeared." "who appeared?"I pretend not to know. "Dr.Ferguson!I know it sounds crazy.But it was real."she informs in a firm voice. "I believe you.But where did he go after that?"I ask. "He had a candle that illuminated his face and body.He also had a bottle of Greenstar and a glass.That's all I saw before people began rushing towards the exit door.I got out among the first and found my way here.I don't know what happened after that but I hear he put off the candle and vanished in darkness, and he also left a small message inside the glass.Its weird!" "We are going to be fine."I soothe. "Christian!" I hear Whitney's voice calling my fake name.I spot her behind me trying to force her way through the crowd as she hurries towards me.She finnaly makes it to where I am. "We did it!"she whispers triumphantly as she hugs me. "Where is Jeff and Scott?"I ask referring to Gibson and C-moon. "Here."C-moon voice startles us both.He is back to wearing the Blue suit and to being C-moon.Gibson stands beside him wearing a glum face.I never expected better. "Hey! Let's all get out of this creepy place!"Someone whithin the crowd shouts really loud,so many shouts back in agreement and suddenly the crowd of workers throngs towards the gate.We all join and match forward with them.The two gurds there try to stop us but they are way too out numbered.So we get an easy exit being so many of us.We take off the cards hanging on our necks and rush a few mitres away where we had parked my car.It takes us only ten minutes to get home and everyone rushes to the television. Honestly,I think the media is exaggerating it.There is so much they are saying.They don't even have a particular way of addressing it.But their headlines have some similarity."Dead hero appears in his memorial."They also have a clip of the whole scene that they are playing on the screen now and then.The last part of their video clip shows great guests tumbling over each other as they struggle towards the exit.One would have thought the media would be a little courteous and leave that part out for the sake of those leaders reputation.They are also playing Greenstar's adverts after every few minutes which are followed by picture of the small message the so called"dead hero" left in his glass.The message reads just as I had written and gave it to C-moon;"I'm proud to be a legend."This is more than I had thought we would achieve. Whitney rushes to the kitchen and returns with a few bottles of Greenstar and we start celebrating the success."You did good."I commend C-moon who is busy clicking glasses with Whitney. "No.I did excellent!And I deserve an appause." "off course.I will see to it that all of you get something worth the good work you have done."I say and Gibson's glum face suddenly lights up.My cellphone rings somewhere in the room.I track the sound to where the black thing is laying on a couch.There are fifteen missed calls and a few messages.I call the person who called last first Matthew.Greenstar's main shareholder. "Are you watching this!?"That's his first statement. "Yep.It's good news."I answer. "You don't sound surprised?" "Iam, very.I need us to speak tomorrow.I will see you at your office." "shouldn't you be meeting all the shareholders.I mean this is a big step for the company.We should all be there." "I think it's my job to decide who should be there.I have a reason for meeting just you.Unless u don't want to." "Off course I want to.I just thought that all should be included.But I respect your decision to meet just me whatever the reason is. "Good.See you then goodnight!"I say and hang up. After we all ate supper,I walk to my bedroom and try to return the rest of calls and messages.I call my family members first.Not each of them.To save time I call mother and ask her to put me on speaker.That way I speak to both my parents and baby sister at once.I let them know that I have no clue what exactly happened today.That's a lie but I can't tell them the truth now.Maybe some other day.Finnaly,I promise to speak to them tommorow.I will be speaking a lot tommorow.
