So there has been a bit of a delay, and we apologize for that. But, to be honest, we have been ankle deep in clues and haven’t had the time to keep up. You guys. The world is seeping with Amanda right now.
This woman from the Riviera obviously knew something and we needed to find out what. We needed to find out anything, honestly. We were a bit down and out on the information front.
In a desperate attempt to understand at least a trace of what was going on, we decided to take a slightly stalker-like route. Why not, right? I mean, if Amanda is lurking behind the scenes and leaving us clues, then why can’t we tailgate a woman who we think may have some information that we need? That seems normal, right?
Normal is a word that seems almost unrecognizable to me now. After meeting Amanda, even saying the word out loud seems silly.
So we waited balanced on the seats of our bikes, ready to follow this mysterious woman right after her shift. Callie was the first to spot her slipping into a blue car in the back parking lot. She had not exited from the front door, she must have crept out an employee entrance. I wondered if she actually worked there at all. Who goes from real estate lady to clerk in such a short time?
“Quick!” Nia was already flying down the road, hunched over her handlebars following that silly blue car down an alley street I had never been down before. Callie and I were on her heels, flying like we have never flown before, turning down street after street that seemed unrecognizable.
And then the car turned too quickly and our bikes skidded to a halt. There, in front of us was a very Amanda-like mural. It was a painting of the world with kids holding hands around its circumference. Except the kids were clearly Nia, Callie, Zoe and I. Holding hands around the world.
Underneath there was a caption: Come together, right now, over me. See you soon. And in the corner: a coyote.
