Excerpt:

Daniel said, “I saw some things. Some unbelievable things. Dad, Billy Bingo was not mortal. And there was some force attacking us in the helicopter. It was unreal and yet, too real.”

Arthur told Daniel, “Tell your father that Billy Bingo is the spawn of the Legman.”

Chapter 13

Suddenly, the ghost of Billy Bingo found himself standing in the library of the Bare Mansion. Billy knew something wasn’t right. He heard a voice calling to him. It was a soft, haunting voice. “Billy, Billy.”

And there was the sound from the core of the earth that sounded like trumpets. And there was a guitar sound sound coming from the light that shined through a window. The music was odd. The haunting voice was odd. Billy felt odd.

Billy’s mom Maureen came through a door into the library. She put a book on the shelf. She pulled another book off the shelf. Holding the book she paced one way and then another.

Mayor Hollis Bare came into the library. He said, “We will hear from them.”

Billy walked to stand in front of a large, body length, mirror. The mirror was in a black frame and had something of an antique look. It stood large next to the partially opened french doors. Every other square glass in the doors was stained glass. Those squares were painted in smeared looking red and blue colors with a ghostly shadow of black. The other square glasses in the doors were clear. There was black and white checked curtains, outlined in gold, blowing at the doors.

Billy’s ghost stood at the mirror and with the curtains at times blowing through him. Billy touched the mirror as though to touch his own face. Then he turned and looked at his mom who was looking at the mirror.

“Oh my God,” Maureen moaned. “I saw Billy in the mirror. Something is not right. I feel it in my bones. I feel it. I know it. I can’t stand it.” Maureen dialed her phone. “Damn it. Answer Natalina. Answer. Answer your damn phone.”

Natalina answered but she didn’t say anything. Maureen could hear Daniel crying. She could hear Nat crying. Maureen screamed into the phone. “Why are people crying?” There was silence. “Answer! damn it!”

Natalina said, “There was an accident. I can’t talk. I can’t.”

Maureen turned and screamed at Hollis. “She can’t talk.”

Arthur took the phone. “This is Arthur Ramsey. With whom am I speaking?”

“Maureen Bingo. Is my Billy okay?”

“Is there someone there with you?”

“Mayor Hollis Bare is with me.”

Arthur called to Daniel. “Come talk to your father.”

Maureen said, “No. You talk to me. Tell me that my baby is okay.”

Arthur said, “She is not going to give the phone to Hollis.”

Daniel called his dad. “Hey dad.”

“What is going on?”

“Something happened to the helicopter. It started spinning round and round. It almost crashed. Billy was not in a seat or harnessed. Billy is dead.”

Hollis took several deep breaths. He dropped his phone. He braced himself to stop from falling in a faint. Then he crumpled to his knees. He squalled. “No.”

Bess walked into the room. “What is happening?”

Hollis reached up toward the ceiling and tried to talk but he could not talk. Maureen cried. “I think Billy is dead.”

“No. That is not possible.”

Maureen remembered her words when she was talking to Daniel. “Billy is a good runner. Just let him run with you to the cave. He will be okay. If Nat is in danger, you need to get to him.”

Hollis said, “Maureen. I don’t know what to say. Those boys should never have gotten on that helicopter.”

Bess asked, “What happened?”

Hollis picked up his phone and stood from the floor. He asked Daniel, “Where do I need to get Maureen and Bess?”

Daniel said, “His body will be taken to the Hearthville Hospital. I will make sure that Billy is not taken directly to the Morgue in the hospital.”

Hollis said, “Okay. Son. Don’t blame yourself.”

“Oh. I do. I totally do. This is bad.” Daniel whispered into the phone. “Do you believe in witches?”

Hollis said, “Do you? Did Arthur tell you some things?”

Daniel said, “I saw some things. Some unbelievable things. Dad, Billy Bingo was not mortal. And there was some force attacking us in the helicopter. It was unreal and yet, too real.”

Arthur told Daniel, “Tell your father that Billy Bingo is the spawn of the Legman.”

Daniel asked, “Dad, did you hear that? Do you understand what that means?”

Hollis said, “I had no idea but yeah, I know what that means. Does Maureen know anything about it?”

Daniel looked to Natalina. He asked Natalina, “Does Maureen comprehend who her son is?”

Natalina answered, “The Legman. No. I am pretty sure that she does not know.”

Daniel said, “Natalina says no.”

Hollis looked at Maureen and Bess. “Put Arthur on the phone.” He walked outside of the library hoping to be where Maureen and Bess could not hear him.

Arthur said, “Hey Hollis. I am sorry. I am so sorry.”

“I know. Arthur But listen. Daniel said the helicopter was under attack. You know my powers are very limited. Do I need to get some powerful witches here to protect Billy’s mom and sister.”

Arthur asked, “Who?”

“Quentin Darko and Myrtle Claven.”

“Sure. Better safe than sorry.”

***

Leroy and Alexandra arrived above the Hearthville Park in the spaceship of Leroy’s grandfather Adolph Bare. Madison Grant saw the spaceship from the spaceship of Sam Bigalo. She snapped her fingers to appear in Leroy’ spaceship.

Leroy screamed, “Oh fuck. You weren’t supposed to see us.”

Madison smiled. “So buddy, what is your plan?” Madison looked at Leroy and then looked at Alexandra as they both sat silent. “Look. Shit is happening and it is going to get worse.”

Leroy looked at his monitors and saw the flashing lights of emergency vehicles arriving below at the Hearthville Park. He saw the helicopter. He pushed some buttons to focus in closer. He saw the body of Billy Bingo laying on the ground. He pushed some buttons to scan Billy Bingo for his vitals.

Leroy said, “Oh my God. That little boy is dead. Son of a bitch. Please tell me that Dioson did not do that?”

Alexandra looked in a different monitor to focus on the Legman’s spaceship. She saw above the spaceship a hologram of the US flag flown at half mask and upside down. Next to the US Flag was the silver flag of Iapetus which was a flag with two spears crossing. Next to that flag was the flag of war with the Omega symbol on it. The symbol had blood and tears dripping from it.

Alexandra said, “The Legman is declaring war.”

Madison Grant looked to see what Alexandra was looking at. Madison clinched her eyes tightly shut. “Oh my God.” Then shaking her head she opened her eyes. “So what is your damn fucking plan?”

Alexandra said, “We were going to connect Dioson’s van to this spaceship with a traction beam and get it out of this area as quickly as possible.”

“Okay. Do it. I will need to question you two later but not now.”

Leroy asked, “Am I going to be burned and caged?”

“Are you working with Sabian Blackrock and Sam Bigalo?”

“I hate Sabian Blackrock and I don’t know who the fuck Sam Bigalo is.”

Alexandra said, “I think he is telling the truth.”

Madison nodded. “Probably. Regardless, get Dioson and get the hell out of here as quickly as you can.”

Leroy watched as the body of Billy Bingo was being put on a stretcher and a white sheet was being pulled over his head. “I feel sick. I feel so sick. That poor baby. If Dioson did that, I want him dead.”

“He didn’t. I don’t know exactly how but you and Dioson were being used. Now get Dioson the hell out of here.” Madison snapped her fingers and vanished. She appeared on the ground and walked up to where Arthur was standing with Alice Malokey who had arrived.

Madison whispered to Alice. “The Legman is flying the flag of Omega, the flag of war. Dioson did not do this. This was the work of Sabian Blackrock and Sam Bigalo.”

Alice asked, “Are you sure?”

Madison said, “I was on the ship with Sabian. Then I was on the ship with Sam. Sam was just being stupid because of Amelia. Sabian hopes the Legman will kill and cage Sam because he wants to pit you against the Legman. I think he might be up to something else as well, but I don’t know what.”

Natalina walked up to Arthur. “Nat is insisting that we find Victor and make him use the time portal to stop this from having happened. Could Victor do that?”

Arthur said, “I don’t know.”

Alice said, “And that is what Sabian is up to. He wants Victor to show him where the time portal, the goto statement, is. That is what he is after.”

Madison said, “Shit. Sabian does not need to know where any time portal is.”

Alice said, “Agreed. Why in the hell do you work with Sabian at times? I don’t understand. You know that you can not trust him and that he is dangerous.”

Madison said, “I need allies. My mother is a rebel and my father is a prisoner on your planet.”

Alice said, “I can’t do anything about your father.”

“I know. And I probably can’t either but I still dream. I plan. Because God help me, I want my father free.”

Natalina stared at Alice and Madison. Feeling confused, she had listened to them. Then she asked, “Is there another way to bring Billy back from the dead?”

Alice said, “There are all kinds of spells. There are all kinds of ways. But if I used any of them I would be punished by the other members of the Witches Council. I am sorry.”

Madison said, “I am sorry also.”

Mumbling, Natalina walked away from Arthur, Alice and Madison. “Sorry does not cut it. By God I hope Victor is of a mind to use the time portal to save Billy.”
