Chapter 18
“So…”
“So what?”
“What now?”
“Beats me!”
The metal man was taunting us. Taunting me. Terminator my 700 like-a*s, this guy was useless.
Billy was discreet, searching around for clues or any hidden messages in the sculpture, but after an hour or so he was just shoving his arm in its gaps risking tetanus and sudden finger-loss.
I’d located the cleanest spot I could find and was lying in the sun.
At that point I unconsciously checked my phone for like the fortieth time and remembered about that thingy Deppy was excited about. The veil? Something like that.
I opened the app and scanned around for stuff. A vendor across the street branched out with information. OMG, what a furry fetish. Keep it to yourself man!
I pointed it towards the metal statue.
Billy was there, with minimal information of course. The profile picture was from the mandatory registration at school, the public data as little as possible.
Then the Terminator lit up.
Not literally, the veil version of him. The artist’s name popped up, links to the articles relevant to the story. And a pi.
A greek π.
I tapped the link and got a loading screen.
“Hey Billy, come here! I got something,” I told him and showed him the phone.
The app reloaded and showed a big arrow over the live video, pointing the way.
“It seems so,” Billy said and we hesitated.
