Read A Stranger's Fear Page 14

going through the entrance noticed by people staring at him. He again forced himself to ignore despite feeling fearful and again got the familiar scenario of going through the familiar hallway entrance.

  He walked to the town’s library and again got the familiar newspaper with a different date on it in the newspapers’ case and went to a corner to sit at a table reading it.

  He heard a throat clearing noise sounding nearby him but kept on reading the paper.

  Due to thinking "Whoever that is will leave me alone once it's obvious I'm not going to acknowledge them."

  Jinx ignored the noise and heard a male voice whispering “Stranger, don’t you have a name sir?”

  He lowered the paper to see a male he assumed was the librarian by a name plate on the front having the name of Long while wearing green clothing appearing to be a uniform of some business suit. He saw the male had tan skin with hair in a crew cut and intense blue eyes that stared at him creeping him out making him more nervous further.

  Jinx exhaled a breath and inhaled spoke whispering finding from the male's expression that he wasn't going to leave till he answered his question period “The name’s Dominique.”

  He again raised his paper to continue read and heard the librarian again speak “The name’s Long so don't ask me for any other name other than what I told you period. Welcome to Elizabethtown. Feel free to ask for anything around here and people will see that you get it.”

  He kept his mouth shut and continued to read the paper hearing silence from the librarian.

  He peered over it to see that Long he assumed was his name had walked out of sight making him relieved from that along with the fearful feeling stopping but still there. He read the paper reading its entire contents and then got up putting it back in the newspapers’ case.

  His eye fell on a newspaper that said “Master’s Herald.”

  Jinx felt curiosity hitting him overtaking his fearful feeling picked up the newspaper and carried it back to the table where he sat and began reading it.

  He discovered the newspaper focused on the belief of believing Lance Richard as a Master and god and lord of Egyptians. He continued to read the newspaper mention in it talking about an unidentified man who’s facial appearance was looking alike to Lance being pegged as the vessel that had disappeared some time ago. The newspaper was saying the man had gone into hiding due to being scared off by religious fanatics who saw him as their deity Lord.

  Jinx paused from reading to grimace feeling himself further scared running through him.

  He recalled to himself the reason why he was in Elizabethtown in hiding which was what the newspaper had said. It was about religious fanatics who saw him as their Master and tried to worship him as a deity Lord. They by containing him in some glass box at some shrine place for Lance.

  Jinx shook his head and continued to read the newspaper. It detailed attempts to find the man have resulted in few clues with searchers believers of the Master secretly seeking the man in hiding in an attempt to find him and help him cope with the religious fanatics.

  Jinx paused from reading to thought to himself as fear billowed through "Their not helping me with that by them making things worse.

  They by getting those fanatics aware of my location and then they’ll come and capture me then contain me in some shrine place of worship towards Lance. They using me like some prize object which my freedom and privacy will be restricted by them.

  Them watching my every move while in containment.”

  Jinx heard from Lance "Jinx, stop being scared with some belief that all of the Master Organization people are feeling like that. Start believing that there's some of the people who don't act like that."

  He grimaced feeling fear hitting him while giving his head a shake then continued to read the newspaper.

  He read detailed information about what the Master would want believers to do which mentioned living life according to following the land’s laws. He read about helping people with their problems whether their believers or not and passing along the belief to believer’s children.

  Jinx sigh pausing from reading thinking to himself “Just once can’t someone do something about the fanatics? Just to get them stopped obsessed with the Master and let me have a life?”

  He again grimaced from fear hearing nothing from Lance and continued to read the newspaper.

  He found an article detailed information about search efforts to find Lance’s look alike with a report of them focusing in New Jack City. It was due to reports of people homeless and not homeless mysteriously hit with sleepiness when in presence of a man. The article he read continued to mention that people have from scans of authorized doctors using hypnosis have said that they reported encountering a man matching Lance’s facial appearance description while wearing different types of clothing on his form. They said they confronted him on his face and got him flaring some all black eyed look along with sleepiness hitting them putting them asleep.

  He kept reading while grimacing that the newspaper detailed that the last sighting of the look alike was reportedly said that he was wearing clothing that appeared to be leather gonoid skins. They haven’t seen him since.

  Jinx groaned softly as he recalled mentally putting people to sleep with the Master mental abilities in control. It was by giving off the sleep command and waving a hand towards the person with palm facing them. A trick he pulled whenever he encountered people confronting him on his face being twin to Lance. That included along with stealing items from the people such as money to buy food and an exchange of clothing. He recalled stealing jewelry from the people that looked expensive and had pawned them off in pawn shops littered around in the city.

  He using hypnosis onto the clerks by saying with the Master in control and waving a hand in their face "You will give me the credit card for this item. I have totaling in one hundred credits now."

  He found his order obeyed by the clerk giving him money which was a credit card worth of one hundred credits as always.

  That trick was used instead of him giving into their demands for identification cards just to give him the credit card.

  Jinx recalled using the credit card for food and clothing. He would exchange clothes in public restrooms then put his old clothes folded on a sidewalk and leaving it there instead of going into a thrift shop.

  He grimaced recalling that he went into a thrift shop with his old clothes.

  He got too much attention from the sales clerk saying "Use the money value for the clothes to purchase the items you need. We insists you do."

  Jinx remembered buying a book that was in the money value of the clothes in response just to get out of the store.

  He found a booth selling sunglasses and a crowd of people nearby them.

  He willed forwards the Master and with hypnosis ordered to a male "Push the crowd into the booth now."

  He found his order obeyed by the male doing it. He found the booth knocked to the ground with various sunglasses along with people landing all over the place over them.

  Jinx snuck a pair of sunglasses off the ground in a fast move hiding it in his pocket of the pants and casually walked away.

  He recalled he had always worn the sunglasses as a disguise along with various hats stolen from booths by using the same trick of a male pushing people onto it, keeping his hair up hidden underneath. This was for hiding while in New Jack City.

  Jinx recalled to himself that he came upon a dead homeless male bum in a construction zoned building part of the city. He had exchanged clothes putting on his current clothes on and putting his old ones on the dead bum and taking the bum’s hat. He went around the city wearing it unnoticed by people who didn’t seem to know that it was himself.

  Jinx frowned as he recalled getting feelings of being filmed by hidden camera while walking on a crowded sidewalk while in the city one day. He didn't find the camera's source which that the feeling freaked him out to disappear into an alley way getting rid of the feeling
.

  He coming upon a policeman on walking his horse who he put to sleep by choking him leaving the sunglasses onto the male's form after he slid to the ground and stole the horse. He riding it out of the city to the fence's entrance where there was an inn where he got the fresh horse and supplies for travel riding.

  Jinx shook his head of the memory and continued to read the article that stated that there were attempts by people to contact the man. That who in response put them to sleep using some mental power and the people have woken up with items on them gone such as money and their jewelry tracked in pawn shops littered around the city. Owners there reported seeing the man come in with those items and getting money for them despite some law saying that they had to use ID cards for it.

  He continued to read that the male was seen on cameras in the stores appearing to use some hypnosis trick to get the store clerks to hand him the credit cards. They always gave for people giving them items, in exchange for the items he gave them.

  He read that there was a report by Scotland a police force policing Columbia's national registered groups who sighted a suspicious man that made them think it was the Lance lookalike and tracked him. Until he disappeared into an alleyway where they found a policeman lying asleep on the ground with sunglasses on his chest and figured that the man had left the city by stealing the policeman’s horse and could have gone anywhere. He kept
