SOME BIG NEWS AT CARTER'S TODAY
I called Carter today for our daily phone call and to also check in and see what time and where we were supposed to meet for dinner tonight.
He said, “Before I say anything, I have to tell you about this dream I had. It was about you and Clint and it just went so perfectly.”
I said, “What happened in it?”
He said, “God, you know, I think I may be going crazy too. I just keep thinking of this damn story and you two meeting. That now I’m dreaming of it all the time. But like I said, sometimes my dreams come true. Everything I’ve had a premonition of today has come true so far.”
He was talking a mile a minute and was obviously quite excited about something.
“Well, tell me what happened,” I said again.
“Let me tell you about the dream first. In the dream, some of the boys came down here and I told them, ‘you know what…why don’t you go get Clint and bring him down here. I’ve got a really nice surprise for him…”
He continued: “In the dream, one of the guys left and came back with Clint and I told Clint that I had some business to discuss with him…would he mind having dinner with me? And he agreed. So, I knew that you would be too overwhelmed by all of this, so I called Beth and I told her: “look, you need to leave work immediately and come down here. I have something I need to show you…” She knew that something really big was going on, so she left work and came down to the garage. Clint was hiding in the back office and I told him to come out and Beth stopped dead in her tracks and said, “I know who this is…” So, the three of us devised a plan…that we would meet with you at dinner. You walked in and Beth and I were sitting there at the table. I said to Beth, “Here…let me use your phone…I need to make a quick call…” And I called Clint who was waiting in the car…he walked in…and the look on your face was just priceless…you were just speechless…and it was all just so great and wonderful…”
“Wow,” I said.
“But that’s not all,” Carter went on. “Like I said, I had some other premonitions and every one of them has come true today. About noon, I looked down the driveway and saw this Dodge truck pulling up. And I thought it was The Gardner, but guess who it was?”
“Who?”
“George…”
“Oh my god…” I said. That completely caught me off guard
(**As an aside...besides Mike, George is the other person down there who knows Clint really well…he has been gone this whole time as well…**)
“You’re kidding…” I said.
“Nope. And I said to George, ‘where the hell have you been?’ and he told me it was a long story but that he was back in town. And I got a phone number for him…well, it’s not really for him, but one of his friends where he is staying…now, I’m not going to give you this number because we don’t want to freak them out…but let’s just say…this is big news…finding George is as good as finding Mike…and I sent him out on a little mission I’m not going to tell you the details of…but I’ve got contact with him and he’s supposed to be back sometime this week…if not later today…
“Wow,” I said again. “And you’ve said before, when they disappear…once one comes back, the rest trickle back in, right?”
“Yeah…but I don’t want to get your hopes up too high because I don’t know when this will be…but we’ve got contact and I’ve learned some things…and let’s just say…this is all going to work out…”
“Wow,” I said yet again. I was at a complete loss for words because this was the most news we have had at Carter’s in a long time.
“Now,” he went on, “When you’re down here on Friday…if anybody comes in here besides Clint…anyone from his gang…and that is a very realistic chance…you are my daughter…you’ve been out of town at school for several years and that’s why they’ve never seen you…if the boys come down here, they’re not going to trust you if they don’t know who you are…so if it is them and not Clint on Friday…you’re my daughter…and we’re going to get some information…”
“But do you know anything more about Clint? Did you ask about him?” I questioned.
“I’m not going to tell you anything until I know 100%. I’m only telling you the things I know 100%.”
“But it’s nothing bad, right?” I asked.
“No…no, nothing bad at all. This is some of the best news we could have gotten. And let’s just say…I’m going to fix it so you two are able to talk and we can get this whole thing resolved. We just all need to keep our optimism up. And remember there is something to be said about premonitions. So far, all the things that I have had premonitions about today…have come true…”
“Let’s hope for more news this week…” I said.
“I can almost guarantee it…”
