“So you don’t think Biato was the target ?” Shezam shook her head “her arrival was too secure we would be fools, to think they came on us, simply because of her “ She looked at Biato smiled
“No offence intended but !” Biato smiled back “No! I think they, followed us, then sent in the cavalry, to do its job, which is probably why we’re being tailed “
Shezam had glanced at the screen to see the pursuing vehicle slow, as she slowed, it was a BMW she was sure of it. About to stop, slam on the brakes step out to go towards it.. It moved past them, as they stared at the two males, it accelerated away at speed, to disappear in the distance,
“You thinking what I am “ murmured Rory as Shezam nodded he picked up the radio “ code 5 to base “
Chance answered his call “ Can you get over to the hospital “ He gave her the details.
“We think Ceo’s in danger. “
Lips had made coffee, it, was in a mug handed to Chance, who took a swig, stood up grabbed her coat as
Lips sipped hers, watching her. “Cmon put it down we’ve work to do. “
Abigail, had been making some notes, trying, to draw a rough map, of where the bodies had been found.
Times, dates and so on, she was surprise to see a pattern developing, she was also, noting some other occurrences and they, were almost confirming her suspicions, when in walked Amy.
“Got it from that man Dunnock “ Handing something, to Abigail who looked at it, it was a metallic diamond shaped disc, not flat but slightly curved ? Towards the window, to stand, let the sunlight, stream across it trying to read the inscription, it looked like the symbols from ?
“Viking rune stones. “ Amy had given her her answer, as she, moved over, to her, pointed at it.
“Found, by the body of the gamekeeper, though how Dunnock got his hands on it ? “
Loathe to say much more, including how she had come to have possession of it !
“its the symbols on it “ Amy watched as Abigail offered her a drink and then took a can of Pepsi from the fridge to throw it to her. The tab pulled, Amy sat back drank it sipping at it, still watching Abigail, who was now drawing the symbols, the shape of the disc.
Amy put the can down, reached into her pocket and pulled out a small pocket book, she carefully opened it then placed it down on the table for Abigail to now glance at the pages opened by her.
“See those symbols are old VERY old and I studied the rune stones for my school project “, Amy smiled
“The newer symbols “ Turning some pages “Are corruptions of the originals, but some of the originals these “
Her fingers darted, to turn the pages back to her original ones.
Seems they, were deliberately missed out, by the Vikings, in later writing as though.. “ Abigail interrupted her.
“They wanted them gone or? “ Amy now interrupted her. “ They knew their real meaning and, were afraid of them, but according to legend, they were the symbols of power “
“Skag did hide the runes, for fear, of releasing once again, such power, such evil; which did bring about the destruction that cost so many their lives! The things that came out of the waters.. things that should never have been seen on land.
Forever sealed, beneath, in depths so deep, that only darkness; lingered therein. It is said, that only the shadows of what had been, remained, to shimmer upon the water. Their fate, forever cast, in all eternity upon the mirror of the dammed.
To reflect upon their deeds“ She turned another page, shook her head.
“it finishes, with another segment. “..and blood within water, did run, for one of seven, beneath a full moon rising; would arise the manner of the beast..”
“More like a ‘BAD moon rising. “ BUT when would the so called prophecy come true.. “Bit vague if you ask me.” One that was lost to time. One, that would bring back the fear, the terror, to unleash upon them all once again?
The loch? The number of times, that locals claim, they saw a huge monster, its head and neck sticking out of the water, the shimmering shape that seemed to go on forever. Mutated beings found on the banks of the loch. Horribly deformed, as though IT had been experimented on.
THAT place.. the one behind the high walls, the locked gates and security cameras? Are they experimenting on those things? One, of the embankments, leading down to the loch, is heavily guarded, showing signs, that something has been dragged across the grass.
The grass has not grown back, but therein lay, a kind of trail.. trodden underfoot.
I mind where we parted
In yon shady glen
On the steep, steep side
O' Ben Lomon'
Where in purple hue
The highland hills we view
And the morn shines out
Frae the gloamin'
Oh ye'll tak' the high road
and I'll tak' the low road,
An' I'll be in gloaming before ye',
But wae is my heart until we meet again
On the Bonnie, bonnie banks
O' Loch Lomond.
