[QUOTE="talien, post: 3958304, member: 3285"] [b]Welcome to the Show: Part 2a – Sebastian’s Story[/b] CHICAGO, IL -- Sebastian was having dreams of a telephone ringing when he finally realized that it was actually ringing and woke up. He shoved a tissue box out of the way to bathe in the scarlet illumination of his alarm clock. It was twelve in the morning. After fumbling with the phone for a minute he brought it to his ear and pressed the talk button. "Hello?” "Mr. Creed?" asked a deep, pleasant baritone. "Yeah?” "Mr. Creed, you don't know me...” "Do you have any idea what time it is?” The voice hesitated. "What time is it there?” "Midnight.” "Oh, I'm sorry. It's only ten o'clock here in Culver City. The only reason I'm calling you at this hour is because it's about your brother.” Sebastian sat bolt upright in his bed. "You've heard from him? He's alive?” The voice was uninterrupted. "When was the last time you saw Michael Creed?” Sebastian rubbed his eyes with one fist, trying to clear the sleep. "He was leaving to do humanitarian work in Darfur.” "Is that what he told you?” Sebastian was losing his patience. "Who the hell is this?” "My name is Clyde Lewis. I work for Ground Zero Radio. Your brother was one of our freelancers. “ "What happened to him?” There was a deep breath on the other line. "Your brother was on assignment for us in Sudan when he disappeared. He was investigating the supposedly cursed city of Napata. I'm concerned the city's curse...” "What kind of curse?” "In 1911, a Dr. Garstand from Oxford University began excavations in Karima, nearby to Napata. He lost five diggers in a sandstorm and lost six more to disease within the week. His hired labor abandoned the site and was forced to leave within thirteen days.” "I don't see how--” Clyde spoke more urgently. "1938: Dr. Torok from the Budapest Academy of Sciences runs into similar hardships, losing three members of his survey team the day after he reached the site.” "Look--" began Sebastian. But Clyde wasn't finished. "1968: Dr. Richard Kalkhe of the National Museum and two of his assistants were killed in the north of Sudan. Napata may have claimed Michael Creed for its own.” "Do you have information as to where he was last?” "I do.” "Send me an email with everything you have." He gave Clyde his email address. Clyde's voice softened. "I called you, Mr. Creed, to give you some closure. What do you plan to do?” "I'm going to go find my brother," snarled Sebastian. Then he hung up. [/QUOTE]
