As I sit in my apartment reading over the paper, I notice that my mirror has suddenly gone blank. I am deeply puzzled and confused, how am I supposed to watch over my friends and make sure they make it here safely? I’ve already seen what has happened with Ebling, however, Sammy proved to be more courageous than he thought himself to be. He is growing faster than he even realizes! I begin to analyze the mirror. I have never had this problem before, and its funny how it stops working when I need it more than ever.
Suddenly, I hear a knock at the door. Who could it be? Maybe it is my friends, already! Maybe their subway ride took faster than expected. Oh, how exciting! I quickly walk over to the door; but as I peer through the peephole, I am surprised to see only one man standing there. I open the door slightly and stare out at the stranger. Why, he does look a little like Joe, except he shorter and maybe weighs a bit more than I imagined. Its not how he looked in my mirror; but Hell, that mirror has a tendency to be a tad unrealistic.
“Who are you and what are you here for?”
“My name is Joseph Kavalier! And you see, I found a golden key on the side of the road and someone told me that I was supposed to bring it here”
“I thought you had friends coming with you...?”
“Well...uhm... you see... they had other plans! Yeah, yeah that’s it. Other plans”
As he tells me this, I hear a noise from the other side of my room. Its my mirror! It turned back on again! What a relief. However, to my dismay, I turn to see Joe, Sammy, and Rosa on the screen boarding a subway train headed to my area. What the Hell? Then who is this man? I look him over again. He does look familiar... and that accent... And then it hits me like a ton of bricks. EBLING! I almost begin yelling at him, but then I think of a better idea. What if I just go along with his little game for a while and then defeat him once and for all? Sounds like a mission for the Escapist!
