Caleb Interviews a Journalist
Time: Present
Book: The Binding of the Halo Series
Caleb walked through the busy office with his mind set on tying up a few loose ends. He pushed down the door handle and walked into the office located in the back. The man behind the desk looked up and frowned.
Q. “Do you know who I am? And don’t lie, I will know.” Caleb closed the door.
A. “Maybe.” The man settled back in his seat then looked past Caleb and out into the bustling news office.
He was most likely looking for security but they were indisposed.
Q. “I was born in 1806 near the city New Dominion, to a wealthy planter. Your organization has been looking for me since 1826.”
A. The man shifted in his seat. “My newspaper wasn’t even around in 1826.”
Caleb crossed the distance in a flash and grabbed the man by his throat, lifted him out of the chair, and stared him in his wide terrified brown eyes.
Q. “You know of me?”
The man blinked due to his throat being squeezed.
Q. “Then you know that I’m not a patient man.”
The man blinked again.
Q. “So, would you rather die, which I promise to make painful, or will you give me the respect I’m due?
The man blinked.
“Good,” Caleb said, then lowered the man back to his chair.
Coughing, the man rubbed his neck. “Your birth name is Caleb Scott. You are…something other than human but we don’t know what. You aren’t a vampire or any other fabled creature. As far as we know, you are responsible for over two hundred deaths.”
“I love history, Mr. Dobson. I believe that you can learn a great deal from a glimpse into the past. That is why I’ve left you and your…club, alone but you have stumbled upon someone dear to me. So, I will make this offer once and only once. Destroy all you have on Cianne Baxter and forget about her, her kidnapping, and the odd incident with the dogs. Or I will add 75 more bodies to that grossly inaccurate sum you have.”
Caleb looked down, focusing on the man’s crotch where his urine was soaking into his pants. “I’m glad we understand one another.” Caleb looked over at the family photo on Dobson’s desk. Then, in a flash of light, Caleb disappeared. He needed to get to Arizona and Cianne.
