“He watch’s from afar. What shall we do about him?” Penny, my dear sister asks me.

“Well we could always keep him around.” Then we laugh.

I’m Margaret and my sister, Penny and I are on our way to New Orleans to meet the infamous voodoo queen; Helena. This man watches us as we walk down the street. It makes us wish he weren’t. He starts to walk over then stops as if he just remembered something. We turn down the alleyway and wait a few seconds; seeing if he’ll come to us.

A big booming voice yells “Hey over there! I see you and I want to help you!” We turn around and it’s the man that watched us walk here.

“And your name is?” Penny asks, walking up to the man.

“Alex, I’ve been watching and if you are who I believe you are, well then I would love to be your friend and partner.” Alex says genuinely.

“And what do you believe we are sir?” I say.

“Well that’s the trick. Most people would pass you off as normal people. I on the other hand believe you are the daughters of Vincent the Voodoo man, and I also believe you are looking for madam Helena. Am I correct?” Alex says.

We look at each other for about 10 seconds when Penny answers “That is correct but your missing a piece. Why are we coming here again? Margaret, what time is it?”

“It’s 3:05 in the afternoon, Penny dear.” I say.

“You are here for Madam Helena she told me nothing else about you. The passage is right this way.”

We look at each other and relax, knowing that all will be ok now.
