"Girls, I"ve ordered room service. Once they can get through the hallway and the bodies out there they will leave the dinner cart at the door and ring the doorbell. " Jessie and Abby looked up, they had both showered and were trying to decide on what to wear. "You"re not going to be here?" With this thought Abby started to get anxious. "I have to go see to arrangements for Olen. I told you this." Both nodded, yes she had told them all the plans but the thought of Cally not being beside them was a little scary."I"ve ordered a full Irish breakfast. Don"t open the door for anything or anyone other than breakfast. You have noses better than s...o...b.. Doo, so you will know when the food arrives." Jessie and Abby smiled at each other thinking, we have s...o...b.. Doo powers, this woman watches too much tv! "Should anyone else show up simply keep the door locked and ignore them." "Marcus and I will be away for an hour or 2." Cally then bounced on the bed excitedly, "Isn"t he the most gorgeous thing to walk on 2 legs! What do you think? Karl Urban crossed with Tyrone Power?" Jessie and Abby exchanged hopeless looks, Cally could go from one thought to the other end of the universe in the blink of an eye.
"Umm, Karl Urban was the doctor in star trek?" Cally nodded excitedly, "Yeah but I"m thinking more how he looked in Judge Dredd or the Hobbit movies.."Cally fell into thought, *he was blonde in the Hobbit movies, I wonder how Marcus would look blonde.* Abby tugged at Cally, "We don"t know a Tyrone Powers." "No, no Power not Powers. WAIT! YOU DON"T KNOW Tyrone Power?" "He was in The Mark of Zorro." "That was Antonio Banderas." replied Jessie "Mom made us watch it." "Grrr.. Okay what about, The Black Swan?" Abby and Jessie stared at each other, "Johnny Depp"s ship was the Black Swan." Cally threw herself back on the bed and stared at the ceiling. "AH! Blood and Sand?!" "Never heard of it." said the 2 babies who were born 60 years too late to know such a screen G.o.d.
"Fine google him! But isn"t Marcus SO handsome?" Jessie answered for the two of them, "Yes, but king cobras are beautiful too and we wouldn"t get within a mile of one if we could help it." Satisfied with that answer Cally responded, "I"m going out. Be good." With that Cally leapt up and hurriedly rejoined her new idol. She slowed down as she neared Marcus, considering, Marcus is taller the Tyrone Power was. But I bet if he smiled..... Marcus"s inky black hair is more in line with Power"s. Physically more like Urban, "hmmm.."
"Marcus, we can go out through Olen"s room and I need to collect some of his things anyway. You"ll take me to him please?" Marcus slowly nodded, "Olen had a secret pa.s.sageway? Typical of Olen, where does the exit lead?" Cally smiled, there were numerous discrete pa.s.sageways in guild hall. "This is a small elevator that opens up in the garage sub-bas.e.m.e.nt. Olen is in the mortuary in town?" Cally simply couldn"t say remains or body when talking about Olen. Marcus nodded, "Indeed, you seem very familiar with guild hall, Clan Home and the town. Tell me, Olen said a young girl was coming but he often referred to Rebecca. You are one and the same?"
Cally smiled sadly, " That my beautiful Adonis is a long story, best taken in small doses. Come I will show you Becca." Cally slipped her arm through Marcus"s. and led him to Olen"s room. There on the wall before Olen"s bed hung a large painting of Rebecca. "This is Becca." said Cally standing beside it. "I don"t think there"s much resemblance; how about you?" Marcus considered, "No, your facial features are quite different." Marcus was thinking while Rebecca was very striking in appearance. Cally was absolutely beautiful.
"Marcus, I don"t want you to misunderstand Becca"s relationship with Olen. Becca was the Wotan clan chief after the American civil war. She found Olen as he was about to lose his sanity. She brought him into her blood line, thereby saving his sanity. This is what I have done with the two girls I brought with me. They were changed by a mad wolf and you know what that means." Marcus nodded, he had been told rumors about the Wotan clan but it was so much like fables and hard to believe. " Becca was Olen"s lifeline. She was able to give Olen more time but when she ceased to be... Olen died when she did." Cally moved Becca"s portrait showing a small elevator. Stepping inside she turned to Marcus, "They were not lovers. It was more like Master and apprentice. Olen was like her Padawan from Star Wars." Marcus stepped into the narrow s.p.a.ce with Cally, thinking this girl watches to much tv.
