THE DREAM
CHAPTER 11
What the hell was happening! Why is everyone involved with me suffering. First Mr. X was dead, then Alice got hurt and now even Jessica went missing. I think I probably should stop prying into the dream anymore and just accept my jail sentence. Atleast people around me would be safe.
"Oh what is wrong with you guys! Can you stop screaming"
Both of us turned back in an instant. It was Jessica. Calmly entering the lab with a coffee in her hand.
"Can't a person not go out to grab a drink? I was at the Starbucks a few blocks down. I ain't gonna go missing anytime soon"
"You could have informed one of us atleast, don't you think?" I exclaimed
At this point I was relieved but still extremely agitated as if she had not returned I would have drowned in guilt.
"Forget Richie, you too are getting worked up Max? It's my usual coffee time isn't it?"
"Yes ma'am it certainly is. It's just that I didn't see you leave the lab. And his anxiety got me worried too. I am sorry."
"And you! Richie. Good job out there, lying to your girlfriend. It wasn't very good but I think it was quite convincing."
Jessica sure was something. I have a pretty good awareness, but the fact that she had sneaked past me, not only to grab a coffee but also was around me to keep an eye on me, whilst I didn't even realise that. She sure was a part of a secretive organisation.
"Anyway, now let's get to work. Tell me the specifics and sequealae of your dreams. And tell me everything that happened on the night of the murder. Spare no details."
I told her everything I knew about my dreams until this point. She was taken aback too, when she heard that she was in my dream too. I gave her every little detail that I had to my expense and I really, really hoped that she could make some sense out of it.
"Okay so this is what we know right now. You got weird dreams which repeated themselves for a week, and suddenly the events started happening in real life. Steve Spindler a.k.a Mr. X who was a dead person in your dream was helping you by giving out clues but then like your dream he actually ended up being dead. You have proof that you have killed Mr. X but you have no knowledge of it. Robert who was the officer in your dream turns out to be a real life character too and it turns out even I was there in your dream"
"Yes that pretty much sums up everything. So, what do you think about it?"
"Honestly I am lost in awe, and I pity you too. This is the most surprisingly spooky version of déjà vu you could ever come across. And you are on the verge of being sent to prison due to it. I don't have words to say. I'll do whatever I can to help you get out of this mess."
