“It‘s Kim.”
“Look, Kim…” all of a sudden he started to cry. “I need help and I don‘t know who to turn to.” She put her arm around him. “I can‘t fix my own brain. Only Robinson, Carlos, or Opal can help me, but they don‘t want anything to do with me. I hurt them all a great deal. I am trying right now, but I can‘t. I just can‘t.”
“I know someone who can and will help you. Kay told me about the Brady twins. Perhaps they will make arrangements for you to have neurosurgery because it‘s the only way to solve the problem.” Kim‘s voice was lower and more intense than Kay‘s, and with every word she said, jolts of electricity ran through his veins. He‘d never felt this way before. Now, it seemed that he had really found the one.
“What if Robinson told them everything I did, and they hate me, too, even though they don‘t know me? The Brady twins and Robinson are like brothers and their children…this is hard.”
“Haggai Brady lives in the castle to the right of this one and Heber lives in the castle to the left side. We can go over to Heber‘s right now. Perhaps Heber is still awake.”
“I can see what he‘s doing right now. He‘s definitely awake, in the dining room, having a snack of crackers and cheese. He‘s beyond handsome. I am starting to envy him, and I have never envied another guy or man before.”
“Don‘t be silly. Yes, Heber and Haggai are gorgeous, but you‘ve got nothing to envy them for, and if you made that comment to them, they would say the same thing. You‘ve got your stuff, and I bet everywhere you go, the ladies can‘t stop staring, just like it happens to them and to my brother in law of course. No one has ever seen eyes like Robinson‘s.”
“Yeah, I know what you mean. So you think we could walk to Heber‘s right now?” “Sure. Come on.” They got out of the car, both at the same time, and they walked
together until they got to Heber‘s castle, right beside Robinson‘s. They pressed the button to cause a buzz at the gate.
Norman, one of the guards, walked to the gate and spoke to them via the intercom before letting them in. “How can I help you?”
“Hello. How are you doing?” Kim said. “We want to speak to Mr. Heber Brady.” Norman knew right away that this was Kay‘s only sister. Their voices were similar
except Kim‘s was lower and deeper, and she spoke in a somewhat different tone.
“I am Kim Hinds. I am here with my brand-new friend, Constantine Everhart. Mr. Everhart needs Mr. Brady‘s help. Constantine and I just met, but we‘ve become great friends.”
“I see.”
“I know Constantine and Mr. Brady don‘t know one another, but no one else will help my friend, and…”
“It‘s okay; I am going to ask Mr. Brady if he will receive Mr. Everhart. Don‘t go anywhere.” Norman walked away from the gate, spoke to Heber, telling him everything that Kim told him, and a few minutes later, Norman was back on the intercom at the gate. “Mr. Brady says you guys can come in,” he said and opened the gate.
Fifteen minutes later, Kim and Constantine were inside the castle, sitting in the primary living room with Heber. They listened in silent as Heber spoke. “Until tonight, I didn‘t know Constantine in person, but I‘ve heard a lot about him in the past couple days.”
“None of the things you‘ve heard about me are good, I know,” Constantine commented.
