Don't Go...

The bruises were quick to spring up, livlier than Sherlock on acid. I really wish they hadn't been brought up in so confined a childhood. Maybe that one with the mallet that was threatening Ben, who kept twirling it and hitting rocks with it, would have discovered his overwhelming adoration of the game of tennis and be right now somewhere in mainland Europe, touring the world with the ATP. As it was, his skills with his hands had so far gone to keeping other, younger members of The Gang in check, he and his trusty mallet. They kept talking about e-mails, which I guess explained the portable router in the car.
The worst night was the night after they discovered Ben's phone. They led him away to ... well I've still no idea where because he refused to talk about it. I was left alone in the cave, alone except for various Doctor Who type monsters and Sherlock type psychopaths and Merlin type evil wizards I'd conjured up over the collective time I'd ever spent alone in my lifetime. Course, I also knew that Ben had gargantuan problems compared to mine. I guess my mind was scaring me on purpose, then I wouldn't have to think about Ben.
I can't count the number of times I'd fantasized about meeting him. I doubted I'd ever dream that Alex Vlahos was my hockey coach ever again.

Having had his phone examined, and declared "clean", Ben was back on Twitter. I guess he told them it was for Doodle Jump or something. They never thought of a Twitter account.

Later that night, the Shaliza Show took a dramatic new turn.
