“Yup or they go full animal for better tracking if need be.”
“I will go with the ice cream shop. Your tutoring should keep me alive-ish.”
“Hopefully it does and good luck and I do expect some kind of answer for that cover story.”
“Again for your safety don’t ask about that as I cannot tell you without putting you at risk.”
“Fine, see or what from you tomorrow if everything turns out well.”
“Bye Betty.”
Taking in a breath William scrolls through his phone to find Holly’s number as he squeezes his hands trying to calm his nerves trying to talk to another mage leader. Exhaling his breath as he shakes off the trembles in his hands as he pushes the phone call button hearing the first ring buzzing her phone. A second ring goes through as William’s body tenses as his heart races trying to remember the plan and double checking his wallet to make sure he still has the money for the meeting. Third ring passes, giving William a bit of doubt if he called the wrong number only to interrupt a conversation.
“-ong hair is hard to brush everyday and clogs the pipes.”
“Amelia, use a shower drain catcher or mage hand and unclog it yourself.”
“Oh right I forgot I have magic now.”
“Amelia, Sara quite down someone is calling me. Hello this is Holly, who is this?”
“Hello Holly its me we me-”
“William! Nice to hear your voice again, looking forward to our meeting?”
“Ah yes but I kinda can’t make it to school due to an injury.” Adds William pausing for a moment to remember he never gave Holly his name.
“And you can’t make it for Monday?” Asks Holly in a tense tone.
“No, no I can make it for Monday. I just need you to pick me up and we could head to an ice cream shop instead of class for the day. Mostly to avoid any distractions or sudden ambushes again.” States William through gritted teeth remembering how the first ambush went for him.
“Ah, uhh, sure, any place in particular?” Says Holly as a drawer is pulled out and paper is flipped through quickly.
“Hopefully I can meet you at a train station and be pushed to an ice cream shop? I can pay.”
“I got the perfect place in mind. It is a cute little shop and I can meet you at the train station and take you to it.”
“I will be a bit late rolling over there but I look forward to the meeting.”
“Kay see you soon William!” Says Holly as a few giggles and a smack on the back is heard as the phone cuts off.
Monday arrives as Virgil drops William at the assigned train station as he leaves for Astra giving a reassuring pat on the back to William as he heads out. Taking a moment to pull out his phone to call Holly only for his chair to slide to the right as Holly comes into his view as panic surges in his body again.
