At
the garage, Fi, still examining Jack, checks his eyes.
Jack tells her continually that he is fine, nothing is wrong with
him. Fi then lets him alone
thinking maybe she could be wrong.
Fi goes to get a soda. Molly
(Will o' the Wisp) comes around the bus jerking trying to reach an itch
that he can't quite reach. Will
o' the Wisp spots the edge of the bus and uses it as a scratching post.
He spots Jack and runs up to him, putting his arm around him.
Will o' the Wisp tells Jack to keep Fi away from the mechanic
(Tom Martinez). Jack asks
why, and Will o' the Wisp tells him that “he's troubled.”
Tom is leaving the Garage for the day and as he walks out the
blowtorch is set off and he panics, frozen in his tracks.
The other mechanic working on the bus apologizes profusely and
asks Tom if he is ok. Tom
nods his head and tells him that he is fine, but walks off a bit shaken.
The mechanic working on the bus apologizes to Molly (Will o' the
Wisp) and the others. He
explains that Tom is really a good mechanic, but he has Pyrophobia, or a
fear of fire. He reveals to
them that Tom used to be a fireman, but quit because of a vision he had
foretelling his own death. Fi,
intrigued by this, asks what kind of vision he had, but is interrupted
by Will o the Wisp telling her not to bother the man.
Will o' the Wisp then calls her “little duck” signaling to
her that he is back. Fi,
recognizing that phrase, panics and excuses herself, and Molly (Will o'
the Wisp). Fi takes them to
her room and then asks Will o' the Wisp what he's doing inside her
mother's body. Fi threatens
to banish Will o' the Wisp back to the nexus but is stopped before she
can. Will o' the Wisp tells
Fi that her mother is in mortal danger and that he came back to help
protect her. Fi inquires
what type of danger her mother is in.
Will o' the Wisp explains to her that he can't say aloud what it
is, because others in the Nexus would know that he's come back to help.
Will o' the Wisp then makes an oath that he will depart her
mother's body within 24 hours time, and that he's here
to help protect her. He
asks Fi if they have a deal. Fi
agrees half heartedly not totally believing his story.
Fi then realizes that her mother has a show the following night.
Will o' the Wisp then tells Fi that he happens to be an
“accomplished musician” himself. || Page 3 || |
