Blake Williams
Blake woke up late in the afternoon, his foot hurt a bit more and he had to get up to take painkillers. He could feel the dull thumping not only in his foot but in his head as well. He felt rested, although he ached in different places he never had before but he attributed it to the passion he had shared with Helene in her trailer and in that peaceful place with the lake and the swan. He took a long shower and was putting on fresh clothes as his mother entered his room and looked at him angrily.
"Well, son, you have some explaining to do I think..." she glared at him. "You had me so worried, boy, not returning home last night."
"Aw, mom. I was... kinda busy at the set," Blake replied, embarrassed he had to withhold truth from his mother.
"Don't you aw-mom me, young man. As long as you're still living here you should respect that we're to share chores and duties. And you left me to do everything myself."
"Aw, mom! I'm not 12 anymore! I can take care of myself. Besides, working at the set helps me get the money for the bike and when I'm working overtime they pay me more. Easy?"
"I know, boy, I know. It's just that... ever since your father died... this house need's a man's hand too."
"I know, ma. I told you to tell me if anything needs repairing. I can take care of stuff, you know. And if I can't I can always ask pops to help me. He's a real magician."
"Oh, right. He's the reason I came to see you. He's already called three times and I think it's an urgent matter. You should give him a call... What in God's name happened to your foot?!"
"Oh... that? Nothing really, just hurt myself a bit..."
"A bit? It's swollen, son!"
"Aw, mom! Stop fussing! I can take care of myself. I'm a man and not a boy. Now I need to make that phonecall. I will probably have to go there anyway if it's urgent.'
Blake's mother got up from his bed and left the room, giving him the privacy he needed for the conversation. Alone, he dialled the set and pressed the extension to Pops's trailer.
"Wha' izzit?" Pops answered.
"Hey, Pops. It's Blake here. What's going on? My mom said you called me..."
