Sara: The Hand

Mark shrugged and wiped the back of his forearm with his hand. Then he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, clearing up the remaining tears.

He sighed. "The Tattooed Lady, she wants to find out what happened to the Circus. Find how they did it. How that Puppet destroyed it. She wants to make sure that she gets to destroy the Puppet before it destroys everything. And she wants you find out the information."

"That's what she said to me."
Mark added.

"It destroyed the whole circus?" Sara's eyes widened. This seemed rather more dramatic than destroying one monster. Then again, she hadn't heard about the circus until now...

"Yeah." Mark confirmed. "This Puppet thing destroyed it all. Now the rest of these Monsters like the Tattooed Lady are all kind of running around, trying to find a way to get the Puppet before it gets the rest of them. I don't know how many Circus Monsters there are left. Maybe the Tattooed Lady and then Mr. Cherry....." Mark stopped, covering his mouth before he could say the Clown's name.

Sara: The Hand

"I dunno." Mark said. "But it'll never happen. She's tall. And she's got magic." Mark was fidgeting at his sleeves now nervously.

"But sometimes I wonder if she just, I dunno, went away, then maybe I could be a kid again. Maybe go back to Minnesota."

Sara: The Hand

Sara pondered the answer quietly, rubbing her chin. The Lady wanted her to do this. Couldn't and wouldn't do it herself or use Mark instead. It felt kind of nice. Still... "Okay... And what's in it for us?"

Sara: The Hand

"Nothing." Mark said. "Nothing at all. I guess I've just been doing it because I'm afraid. Though the Tattooed Lady said that there are special tattoos. The one I have, it doesn't hurt my hand anymore."

"Still, I don't want it."
He sniffed a little.

"I don't want ugly tattoos all over like her. I don't care if my whole body can never be hurt!"
He said, and then he started to cry.

Sara sighed. So stupid. And why was the Lady using kids, anyway? Wouldn't someone like that cop have been better? But... whatever, it wasn't like she had any choice right now, what with the tattoo and all. "Hey," she called out, irritably, "stop that. What do we do next?"

Sara: The Hand

It took a bit for Mark to stop crying. When he did, he touched his eyes with the back of his sleeve. Then he said:

"What? You..you're gonna do what she says right? You're gonna go investigate and find out about the Puppet and how to stop it?"

"She said to start with the kid Shawn. And then another kid named Delilah."

"She said that they might know about the Puppet. Where it is and how to stop it."

"I think Delilah's dead," Sara said flatly. If it was that Delilah. And if she was dead - it was a little hard to be sure. She paused. It was... kind of creepy, what happened. But, she didn't really know her or anything... "What did she look like? And Shawn?"

"What!?" Mark said, astonished. He appeared unprepared for this information. He didn't answer Sara's question. Instead, he got carried away from the emotion or perhaps the implications of what Sara said. He was no longer focused on Sara's question.

"What?" He repeated, this time not as loud. The music from the radio continued to play.

Sara: The Hand

Sara rolled her eyes dismissively. "I met a blonde girl named Delilah a few days back. She just... fell and died all of a sudden while we were waiting for ice cream. At least I think she died," she mused. "Didn't really check. What, were you friends or something?"

"Ughh." Mark groaned. "Ughhghghghhhhhggg." It was a mix between a groan and cry now. Or maybe a weep. His eyes welled up with tears but he managed to keep control of it.

"Wh....what about Shawn?"
He croaked, voice squeaking. "She....sh..she's gonna want to know ab...about one of them. If we don't tell her something or show something...she's gonna be mad." Mark said, clearly referring to the Tattooed Lady.

"Yeah, I know Shawn," Sara's face darkened. Okay, it had to be that Shawn, right? "Leave him to me. Though, what if he doesn't know...?"

Mark thought about this possibility for a second. "Ummm." Mark said. "If he doesn't know, then wait for the light again and follow it to me." He said, one hand on his chin in a thinking posture


"Then we'll come up with a new plan. How does that sound?"

Or maybe the Lady would eat them for their failure before they could come up with anything. Sara shifted from one foot to another. "Fine, I guess. What now?"

"I mean....I thought." Mark said. "I thought we just said what was gonna happen." He said, looking at Sara.

"Why, you don't want to do that? I mean, you don't want to do what she told me to tell you to do? Because if you don't do it, it might not be a good idea. I mean, for both of us. It's not just you. She's expecting you to do it. And I'll probably get in trouble too if you don't."

"Alright." Mark said. "But be careful. You don't know. He might be dangerous. Shawn I mean. I think he actually is dangerous. It's possible that he's in with the Puppet."

"I think so." Mark said. "So. How does this work? I guess I'll just turn off the radio." His little hands moved toward the radio which was playing jazz music. Then he turned the nob and suddenly it was off, leaving the two kids in the dark. The loud chirping of the Fall crickets sounding really loud in the still of night.

"That's right." Mark said in a loud whisper. He kicked his two feet up off the tire and landed almost soundlessly in the dirt. "You've got to follow the light. When you see a light late at night, follow it. It's probably me."

"Okay..." Sara frowned, starting to walk away. She wasn't looking forward to returning to Dad. Though it seemed strange to even care about that while dealing with all this monster business.
