Chapter 669 - 86- Trinity – Checking Out The City (VOLUME 4)

Trinity

~~

The three little imp boys were taking me toward the edge of town. That was all well and good, but I didn't want to rush out of the city yet. Yes, I know that I had asked them if they knew where to go, but I didn't think that running right out of town was a good idea either. I think it would be best for me to stop and check a few things out first.

Colorado Springs was a pretty big city, and it would definitely take me a long time to search the whole single place inside of it. Still, I thought that it would be best for me to check out a few specific places. And by that, I mean places that were either important to me or to my wolf pack. If it was a place that was important then there might be something waiting for me there.

I could hope at least, right?

I took the three little imp boys by the hands, relishing in the softness of their skin and how much they reminded me of Reagan and Rika when they were little. Talia too, only she was a little smaller and more frail looking than the twins had been. These little imp boys were truly like my own children. And it wasn't just because I had already started to care about them. There was just something about them that made me feel like they belonged to me. I wonder if I could take them along with me when I left this underworld. Could I somehow bring them into existence in the land of the living? I did actually see them at some point in that world. They were by the door, beckoning me toward them. So they should be able to go there.

I was thinking about these things as I walked along the streets of Colorado Springs. I didn't want to dwell on anything, but I didn't want to overlook anything either. Not in my thoughts nor in my search. So, because of that, I was taking my time to search everywhere that I went.

The first was the university that wasn't too far from Franny's Kitchen. I had spent a lot of time there and I had been going there when I met Reece. I didn't find a way out, but I did find several other people that needed help moving on. I had meant what I said earlier. I wouldn't seek the people out, but I would help them if I could when I met them. There were a few people who seemed overly attached to the university. Some older people that looked like they might have been professors who devoted their lives to this place. Some young students that passed before getting their degrees. Some people felt the most at home here.

I went up to these people one by one. They weren't attacking me like that last group was, so it made it a lot easier now. All I had to do was press my hand to their heads and show them that they had every reason to move on. They just needed to see if for themselves. Every single one of them accepted the help with a smile and moved on. I liked that, and I was glad that I was able to send them on their way.

When I left the university, I went to the gym that I used to train at. I went to the gym to make sure I didn't see Jim. Yes, they rhymed, and I used to joke about it all the time when I came here.

Seeing this place made me sad. I used to come here all the time when I was a freshman. I had loved this place. It had felt like a second home and a place for me to be safe. After I met Reece though, I wasn't able to come back. I had asked Juniper years ago to let Jim know that I wasn't able to come anymore but I would always be thankful to him for what he did for me. She told me that he looked sad to see me go, but he understood that things in life could change abruptly.

I wonder what happened to him? He wasn't here so either he was still alive, or he just didn't get stuck in Limbo. I hoped he wasn't dead, but I was glad he wasn't here.

"I miss you, Jim. You were an awesome coach." I almost felt like crying as I looked at the front door to the building. "I will never forget you, no matter how long I live."

Alright, two of my very important places were checked and neither of them had a door or anything else important for me to see. I had come across a couple dozen more people that were stuck here, but I sent them on their way and felt better for doing so. Being stuck in Limbo for eternity was a form of torture, I was sure about that.

I checked a few other places. I looked around at the homes of my friends and family. And by family, I mean friends and guards that became my family. I checked businesses that were associated with my pack or me personally. I checked everywhere that I could think of and I found nothing at all.

I hadn't come across anything that would point me in the right direction of where I needed to go. All I had really done was take a stroll down memory lane and feel really, really sad about all the things that I had given up over the years. I think I need to do better than this. I needed to make an effort to bring us all back together.

I should visit Jim and talk to him. I should further my education to include more law groups. I should go to all the old stores that I hadn't been to in a long time. I should do it all when I get back.

If I get back.
