My Life Is [A Never-Ending Story] - FelixTM - 2009-06-23
Entry 59. June 17, 2009.
[x] Call James and Garet.
"You better be sure about this... I need answers now more than ever too, but if these guys end up causing more problems..."
Felix dials the number James gave him. "Felix, good to hear from you. Are you ready to talk?" James answers. "Yes. Where should we meet?" Felix asks. "We'll come pick you up. Hold tight," he responds before hanging up. A few moments later, Felix and Melanie see the van which has given them so much trouble pull up. "That sure was fast," Felix comments, suspicious. "Ah. Yes... Anyway, get in," James insists. Reluctant to back out at this point, they climb in the back and sit with Garet. "So who's the girl anyway?" Garet asks, in an odd attempt at conversation. "Melanie. My girlfriend," he answers shortly. Melanie gives Garet a dirty look. "No need to be so tense you two. We just need to talk," Garet says with a forced smile.
After a short drive, the van comes to a stop outside Reverie. "Huh? Why are we here?" Felix wonders. "We figured a public place you're comfortable with would help you relax and trust us more," James answers. The four of them go inside and get a table tucked away in the corner, for more privacy. Clarissa comes bouncing over to take their orders. "Felix! Melanie! So happy to see you again! You cutie lovebirds~" she squeals. However, her usual antics come to a screeching halt when she notices the two men sitting with them. A shocked, almost upset look appears on her face, but she quickly tries hiding it. "And I see you've brought friends! What can I get y'all today?" she asks, cheerful once again. They place their orders and Clarissa bounces away to fetch them.
Felix: "So pick up where you left off, please. Tell me everything you know about my father's project."
James: "We'll start at the very beginning, with Anthony. Patrick and I were out drinking with Tony like usual. It wasn't uncommon for some of the guys to get drinks together occasionally. Your father joined us quite often. However, that night he wasn't there. Anthony was in an almost surreal good mood. We figured they made some break-through in their project - and we soon found out how right we were."
Felix: "When was this? A year ago?"
James: "Around there, yeah. A few days before Anthony was murdered. Anyway, Anthony celebrated by drinking way too much. He was crazy. The weirdest thing was what he started talking about. Kept going on and on about how they were finally successful. Said bizarre things like, 'Free will as we know it is dead,' 'New world order,' 'Mind control,' etc etc. At first we didn't think much of it, but then he broke down an-"
James is cut off by the return of Clarissa who butts right into their conversation. "'Scuse my reach, gentlemen~" she says, as she rudely sets their drinks down and then walks away. Felix and Melanie both notice how strange Clarissa's unusual behavior is.
James: "Like I was saying... He broke down and started crying. Begging us for forgiveness. It was so twisted. We thought he was just a very strange drunk, but he kept stressing the point. 'Please God forgive me... Oh please save me from what we've done!' He would never give us any coherent answers, but we gathered enough to realize the horrible thing they succeeded in making."
Felix: "And then Anthony was killed by my father not long after."
Garet: "Correct. This is what we all believe. His recent confession proves this."
Felix: "Now tell me about my mother. Patrick seemed surprised when I told him my father's diary was stolen. When I asked him about it again, he said he was going to tell me the story about my mother, but we got interrupted."
James: "Patrick was, indeed, caught off guard. We feared your mom was waiting for an opportunity to strike back against Chad, but we underestimated her greatly. Pat called us the night before the incident at his house happened and caught us up on what you had shared with him. We were all shocked. If Rose has Chad's diary, then it may already be too late."
Felix: "I still don't understand. How did my mom steal it? A male stole it, and he said another male told him where to find it."
James: "Yes, that is where Patrick's fears of a third party helping or working under Rose came from. We believed her to have no allies, but we were wrong."
Felix: "What could she possibly plan to do?"
Garet: "One can only imagine. Rose has always had a sort of paranoid superiority complex. Maybe in her own twisted way she wants to use this to make people trustable in her eyes."
Felix: "Oh come on... I realize my mom is crazy, but I don't think she's insane."
James: "Regardless, information on this project getting into the public could be unimaginable."
Felix: "If it exists, certainly. Few more questions. Why the hell do you guys insist I'm so necessary and important in all of this?"
James and Garet hesitate and look at each other uncomfortably. Melanie pretends not to notice and focuses on her drink.
James: "Well Felix... We know you were close with your mom. It's vital we have your help in dealing with her."
Felix: "Uh huh... Except we haven't been close in four years, plus I don't see how that is so urgent to make you all crazy over talking with me."
Garet: "The truth is we wanted to get to you before she does. The man you met in Trissany. Who was that?"
Felix: "A good friend of ours. Melanie and I stopped in to catch up since we were there shopping anyway."
Melanie catches on to Felix's lie right away and plays along.
Melanie: "We hadn't talked in a long time. It's a pity you guys had to ruin our conversation."
James: "You didn't have to run."
Felix: "Oh don't start that again. We were being followed by a strange van. Who wouldn't?"
Garet: "Well, alright then. So you haven't been in contact with Rose yet?"
Felix: "No, of course not. I have no idea where she is or what she's doing."
James: "You must be careful. Rose certainly can not be trusted. If she tries contacting you, let us know and try avoiding her."
Felix: "Sure thing. Now one last thing. What's with all the suspicious things the police have been finding in your friends' houses and vehicles?"
James: "We were only being careful. Guns were to protect ourselves from Chad. Everything else was for our brewing plan to break into Chad's private work area."
Felix: "So it's a case of bad luck?"
Garet: "Unfortunately, yes. Chad is using all of this to his advantage and twisting it into a larger conspiracy. We've fallen completely apart because of him."
After realizing they've been chatting for over an hour, the four finish their drinks, wave goodbye to Clarissa and get back in the van. As soon as they leave, Clarissa takes out her cellphone and calls someone. James and Garet drive Felix and Melanie back to the Legard residence and thank them for talking. James warns them to be careful and to stay in touch. They go inside and discuss their thoughts on what they just learned.
[] Spend more time analyzing everything together.
[] See if you can't learn anything extra from Clinton.
[] Talk to Nicholas about everything.
[] Relax for the rest of the night.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?

Clarissa is a sweet woman!
Why would you ever think she's backstabbing Felix and Melanie?

Clarissa doesn't look like a bad person, it looks more like she might be at Rose's side.

You got a bunch of information, but don't worry too much about it yet. Let it sink in and then analyze. Besides, you did a lot already today.
Unlike you guys, I just don't think Clinton has so much information. I guess maybe the personalities of those workers, but I don't feel it's that important right now.
This entry is interesting in that it shows just how much and how little Garet and James know.
