what is
happening, and they are enjoying the chaos they are creating.”
    “You
think so?” I asked.
    “Oh,
come on; close to half a million people just disappearing, whole cities being
destroyed? Don’t tell me that hasn’t been carefully thought out.”
    “You
think people are being targeted for a reason?”
    “That’s
one theory.”
    “Oh.”
    “What
do you think is happening?” he enquired.
    “I
have no idea,” I replied, looking back towards the TV for a second.
    “My
name is Steve, by the way .”
    “Keira.”
    “Nice
to meet you Keira,” he said, reaching out to shake my hand.
    I
leaned over the table. As soon as our skin touched I got goose bumps
everywhere, and a static shock seemed to run straight up my arm. I pulled my
hand back quickly and stared at him.
    “Are
you okay?” he asked me, rather concerned.
    “ Yes…yes ,
sorry.”
    “Are
you sure?”
    “Yes
I’m fine , thank you,” I assured him.
    I
looked down at my hand for a second. What had caused those feelings? Who or
what was this guy? He looked and sounded normal enough. Was it just me
being silly?
    “Where
are you from?” I asked him as casually as possible.
    “Here
and there; I move around a lot.”
    “Why?
If you don’t mind me asking.”
    “It’s
my job…I’m self employed.”
    “Oh,
right…what do you do?”
    “I’m
a recruiter,” he explained. “I find jobs for people all over the world, life
changing jobs.”
    “Wow,
never heard of one before.”
    “Yeah,
well, I’m one of a kind,” he smirked. “How about you…are you from around here?”
    “Not
originally, but I live here now.”
    “It’s
a nice town—a lot of people.”
    “Yeah,
I like it here.”
    “I
could find jobs for most of the people here, I think.”
    “Is
that what brought you here? Work, I mean.”
    “Yeah.”
    “I
hope you enjoy your stay,” I said, studying him.
    “Thank
you, I’m sure I will.”
    “Well,
I’d best be going,” I told him. “I need to pick up my new car.”
    “Ahh,
treating yourself to a newer model?”
    “Something
like that.”
    “Well
it was nice talking to you Keira,” he smiled.
    “And
you…take care.”
    “Bye.”
    I
walked out of the shop and took a deep breath. There was something weird about
that guy. He didn’t give me the creeps or anything…not weird in that way. Something
about him just made me feel nervous. And what was the experience I had when I
shook his hand? I shook my head and made my way back to the car showroom. I
just wanted to go home.

    When
I pulled up in the driveway in my new car, Hecate came out to have a look and
to tell me everyone was still out. I wanted to tell her about Steve, but I didn’t
want to worry her, especially when it could have been something or nothing. He
hadn’t done me any harm at all, so I decided to put it to the back of my mind.
I went inside with Hecate and waited for Eligos and Danny to return.
    We
were only waiting an hour or so before they appeared in the living room. Both
of them flopped down on the sofas, Danny next to Hecate and Eligos next to me.
    “Are
you alright?” I asked them both.
    “Yeah,
it was just a long meeting,” Eligos sighed.
    “Do
you know anything new?”
    “People
have started gossiping about you already. We couldn’t have stopped them doing
it if we’d have wanted to after what happened yesterday.”
    “You
want them to gossip though, don’t you?” Hecate confirmed.
    “Yes.
Don’t forget they have had a few days to spread the news. It was yesterday to
us, but what with the time difference, it’s been like three and a half days in
Hell,” Danny added.
    “Plenty
of time for the gossip to spread.”
    “So
what do we do now then?” I asked.
    “We
wait, like always,” she told me.
    “Surprise
surprise,” I sighed.
    I
walked out of the living room and upstairs into the games room, where I poured
myself a double vodka and Coke. When I turned around, Eligos stood leaning
against
