Chapter 5: The blow to withhold, deal is foretold
Last time: Jen and Ryan finished looking around and didn’t find Tomato. When they got their coats to go to the coffee shop to get breakfast and look to see if Tomato was there, Tomato just appeared behind them saying “Stop, we can’t leave!”
When Tomato started talking to them, it seemed like he was telling his life story but it was just his extreme background! He told of his past. He told of the life he foretold and will never know in a parallel universe and even foretold their next reactions. When he stopped talking, they got tired of his voice, lol (ok sorry...).
Tomato stopped talking and finally said, “... and the puppet master’s weakness is nothing. I’m sorry guys, but there’s no known way to defeat him, that we know of yet at least!” “There’s got to be a way”, replied Ryan. Jen asked, “Wait how do you know all this?” Tomato sighed and said, “I sold my ... money to Him. Sorry enough jokes... I sold my soul. I’m sorry guys, but I work for Him now.” “Wait who is Him?”, asked Ryan. “He is coming, but since he has my soul, he can sense where I am. Hide now!” Ryan hides in the bathroom behind a toilet, while Jen hides in a secret room under the carpet under her desk.
Meanwhile:
I walked to the shore and looked at the sand waited for the time to pass till sunset. It passed and I waited. I waited for 36 years before I left. I waited for her, and she left me and was called my Destiny. I am ... the Lone Ranger.
There’s a reason why though!
