Jade Tower, Haven

“Hey pal look just come down” Trouble said “Come on just carefully walk back.”

“No way, this is the new extreme sport, and I’ll get a lot of respect for being the first…..”

“OK, this guy’s head’s mixed up,” Trouble told one of the officers “’cause the only respect he will get is respect for the dead. I’ll go up and bring him down be ready in case he does make a jump.”

“Yes Sir,” replied the officer.

Trouble made his way up. It was meant to be the end of his shift five minutes ago. Aries (Holly’s younger sister) was going to think he’d forgotten Josh and Holly was in London so she’d have to wait with the baby.

“OK,” he said as he got to the roof of the building, “Just follow me.”

“NEVER,” shouted the young boy. Trouble made a grab for him, but he jumped, taking Trouble with him.

Swan Hotel Paris

I woke up and wrote down last nights dream, it had been far more pleasent than usual. It was when my mum and dad got back together after their four week split. I decide not to bother with breakfast too much but grab a cereal bar (Holly would freak if she found out I’d skipped breakfast when my blood sugar’s already going a bit weird).

I see Artemis. He asks how I am, and I sit with him while he’s drinking tea. His bodygaurd is standing over him looking around the room.

“These fell out your bag yesterday.” he says, passing back photographs.

I’ve always found them strange, photographs. It just doesn’t feel like it’s you, as if your body belonged to someone else when it was taken. He asks about them

“Who are they?” he says.

“This one is of my little brother. That one you’re holding is of my parents’ wedding, that’s James, Ben, Sara, and Nathan, my friends. The one where the two girls in it look identical are  my friends Hannah and Kate last year,” I say, picking up the appropriate photos as I explain them, but some are missing. I check my bag. Thank Frond, they’re still there -one of my parents aged 60, one of my mum looking beautiful, like a film star at a premeire. She’s wearing an amazing red ball gown. She looks so happy as she stands next to her dad. I could never replace those.

I go back to my hotel room, and my phone’s ringing. I pick it up and it’s Nathan.

“You’ll never guess what made the top story on Haven Today!”

Haven Today is the highest rated news, sport, chat, drama… basically it’s the best (and most watched) channel.

“Let me guess- a documentry on my mum, or did Ben get the title for worst musicain under the earth?”

“Not even close Dans….that’s next week!” he jokes, “No, your dad fell off a building and….”

I slam down the phone -I’m going home! I need to see him. So I think “focus Haven” and thanks to the gift I’m there ….but miles off target I’m at the border between Haven and Atlantis.
