 		Apparently it sucks to be DR Starr right now. I hope Port got away safely with Dr Starr's Iphone. Maybe Sgt Ernie Can help us hide him. I hope Port got a bunch of info from Dr B before it happened.

 		I don't think Port knows exactly where Bernie was going to take him. So you guys are going to have to work your magic with the Sarge, because Port's now going to Colorado while we figure something else out.

Quote:
klokworkalex: I don't know what to do, Court. They killed Bernie and almost got me. I don't trust this iPhone. I'll ditch it and find you another way.

clas1ca: I'm so sorry, Port. Not expecting this to get easier, though. Did Bernie say exactly where you were going? If not, I have Plan B.

klokworkalex: I really need a Plan B. And quick.

clas1ca: Plan B: Head to Denver while I figure out a Plan C. (Told you it wasn't a very good one.)

klokworkalex: I'm ditching all luggage and devices and trusting you with my life. I'll find a computer in Denver.


Also: I hate it when people call me 'Court', truefax. But I'm not going to tell Port that, 'cause I think it'll break his heart. :B

 		Well, I sent a message to sarge asking for help in hiding Port. I went the scared and panicky rout in hope that he might feel like he should help. I tried to drop in some buzz words that might make sarge realize his info that he is holding on to so tightly is related to our problems. I blind CC Klinton MacReady/Val in hope that they might be able to sway him.

Sarge,
Its Schwinn. Bad sh!t is happening! We need your help. Please we don't have anyone to turn too except maybe you. You have some expertise in dealing with "company" problems I'm sure. We need a safe house and we need one fast! Our friend is on the run and he has bad guys on his tail. I have no fear that he can handle himself if he has to, but this is going beyond police work in Jersey. The company is trying to stop him from getting to Brightman to see the Oracle and it is extremely import that he does. His chaperon/escort took one in the back of the head and is no longer with us. Our man got away but he is on the move and needs a place to lay low. Can you help us? Please? We believe that the information you have and what is happening to our friend is all connected somehow Please, Dr. Starr is gone and we have no one to turn too.

Schwinn


So now we wait...

And the story gets....weirder

Quote:
Mike,
Its people who were working on the Game that disappeared and I mean car-keys-on-the-counter-and-burned-popcorn-in-the-microwave-type disappeared. I thought I was really involved but now know that the company I worked for didn't even know what they were doing. Craig (that's the guy who fired me) told me a week or so ago when I ran into him at McDonalds how bad he felt about what happened with me but he was just following instructions. And I was like you prick! You ran this thing like you were all high and mighty and so focused on the integrity of the story and all that crap and it turns out he was getting his paycheck by following instructions from 3x5 cards and e-mails just like I was! I'm not going to pretend that I get what's up with this thing but I'm definitely rooting for you guys. There're reasons for everything even when it seems like it just meanders through the wilderness and from my personal experience with the little "behind the curtain" that I exerienced they were counting on you guys just trampling everything like preschoolers because you are supposed to lose. Don't.

What? Who disappeared ? Does she mean someone quit or the actualy cant find them? I now some of our players have gone missing but I assumed that they just quit. How involved were you in the game? We came across some strange stuff while we were digging. Stuff That I would suspect some people wouldn't want to get out. Staty safe and watch your back.

 		Weird, weird shit over there. I don't doubt that it's connected to the stuff Port is going through, though.
Speaking of which: email from Port! He's using a new address now.

Quote:
Court,

I'm in Denver and don't think I was followed. What an absolute shit two days. All the way from North Platte I kept seeing this black Yukon about a mile back. But on I-80 everyone drives forever so it's not too uncommon to see the same people for hours, you know? But it was just always the same distance back, which is what made me nervous. So we had to stop for gas and Bernie picked Laramie, Wyoming. Some podunk looking Phillips 66. So as he's filling up the Malibu, I stretch and go in to the little convenience store to get a couple of those bottled Frappaccinos (Starr got me hooked on those) and as I'm standing at the counter that black Yukon drives up, circles the parking lot slowly, and then pulls up right next to Bernie. He was stretching his back when it happened -- just totally unaware. He had one hand on each hip and was twisting side to side when a good chunk of his head just exploded all over the hood of the rental car and then he disappeared behind the car. It was then that I caught a glimpse of a guy with a dark tie and sunglasses looking at me just before the tinted window closed. I started yelling at the old Mexican guy behind the counter that my friend had just been shot and to call the police and do you knwo what he did? He ran out the back door and the next thing I know I see this old pickup truck speed off from behind the store and skid off into Laramie. I guess the nice thing is that the Yukon took off after the pickup like they figured it was me. So I reached over the counter and dialed 9-1-1 and when I try to tell the dumbass dispatcher that Bernie had just been killed she says that she has to connect me with her boss. What the hell, right? So after a few seconds this guy comes on the line sounding like that black guy with the deep voice that used to do the 7up commercials and says, "Is this Mr. King?" My heart was in my throat and I couldn't even respond -- I had never told the dispatcher who I was and I was using the store's landline. He proceeds to tell me that I'll never get out of the gas station and I just hung up on him and ran out to the car. The tank was now full.

Odd things stick in your head when you see dead people. It could be how their eyes looked, or how a leg was bent...it's always something that stays with you. For Bernie it was that he was lying face down on the concrete with both hands still on his hips. He just did a faceplant mid-stretch and looked like if you propped him back up on his feet he'd look just like he was still stretching his back...only missing a good portion of his forehead. That whole situation was fucked up.

I sped out of there in the opposite direction and after a quick car wash I stopped at a diner about 30 minutes away. I haven't seen the Yukon since.

I found a place in Denver that likes cash more than they need ID to rent a room and now I'm just going to wait until I hear from you where to go and what to do. I never thought when we started communicating that all of this would happen and that I'd have to trust you like I am. I really really hope that going with my gut is the right thing.

As for Bernie, great guy. A bit of a cad about women I noticed, liked to share "war stories". But other than that just a genuine guy. He told me all about meeting the oracle for the first time and setting up the whole program at the Brightman...and how he ultimately got sidelined. I think we touched on this already, but he told me she had asked for him to find me because I knew who the "grim reaper" was. Rage, right? Said she thought that it would be important for her to talk to this "grim reaper" because of some phantom creeping around the place where she stays. That part lost me a bit...but after these last two months I have to be honest, I believe every fucking word that comes out of every person's mouth! I just don't doubt shit anymore because who am I to know and all of my past preconceptions have been bent and broken and left on roadsides from Washington DC to Colorado.

I definitely need to go to sleep and there's this girl that looks frighteningly like Velma from Scooby Doo waiting to use the computer. I can't thank you enough and please don't kill me. I would be really disappointed.

Goodnight.

Port


Bold is mine. So the Oracle's got her own "Jenny" following her around, huh?

Also, in response to the 'washing off the blood, washing off the rum ?' thing:
Quote:
To: TT <tvonfantine>
I'd like to say it's Oddfellows Local 151, but somehow, that answer seems way too easy.

To: <classical>
There's a reason that it seems way too easy.

Strike one.


Figured as such. But seriously, wat. IT'S NOT EVEN A QUESTION. I have been racking my brains for an "answer" all night and got nothing. Nothing at all.

Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits to prove a sage to teach
Peewee gathered up his proof
Reached up and scratched his head
Fell down and hit the ground again

(chorus)
Firehouse, firehouse

Why do the heathens rage behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach
This boy and girl that gather pearls
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood, wash off the rum

(repeat chorus)

Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach
This boy and girl that gather pearls
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood, wash off the 151

(repeat chorus 2x)

Firehouse


I have trying to figure it out myself, but so far I got nothing.
