Pilot (Legends)

The Pilot is the first episode of Legends, as well as the first episode written by PokeRob.

I got to the phone just before it stopped ringing. I was at work when it all happenned. I got a call from my mother, who was sobbing to the point where I could barely understand her. When she told me what had happenned, I must have dropped the phone or had it on speaker or something, because everybody around me started staring.

I felt like I just wanted to run to the house, and just keep running after that, destined to never stop. But I needed to use practical sense here. I walked to my car, unlocked it, and hopped in. I inserted the car keys and ignited the engine, as I drove off. Everything was going pretty well.

Of course, until the pistol head faintly touched the side of my head. All I could see in the mirror was a dark skinned man, holding the gun at my head. He demanded me to drive directly to my house, strangely. As we pulled into the neighborhood, he put the gun away.

[Sam]: You know I could drive into a tree, right now, and just get rid of you? Why should I lead you to my house?

[Mysterious Man]: Because you have practical sense.

I pondered that.

Exactly.

I drove down the wrong street, and stopped at a random driveway.

[Sam]: We're here.

[Mysterious Man]: No we aren't. Now stop playing games, or I'll be forced to make some drastic decisions.

''Does he know what my house looks like? Or could he just tell I was lying?''

A lot of my friends say I'm pretty brave. Well, normally I would be. But when a man with a gun is in the backseat of your car, everything changes. I drove around until I reached my house.

[Mysterious Man]: Thank you, Sam.

He knows my name, too?

He walked out of my car calmly, even though there was police tape as well as police men everywhere. What was even more peculiar was that he walked straight up to my mom. I could hear them talking, though I couldn't make out what they were saying through the car window. I did see my Mom point at me and yell something though, probably saying to get over there. I opened the car door and walked out, closing it behind me.

[Sam]: Do they know anything?

[Mom]: All they know is that he's gone. Just... gone.

[Mysterious Man]: You guys don't seem very upset, do you?

[Mom]: I prefer not to worry... just, you know, hope he comes back. He left no traces though.. it's as if he just dissappeared out of the house.

''I can't believe my own dad just dissappeared, right out of our house, leaving no trace behind. It's so... weird. And why aren't I upset? Why aren't I crying, like a normal person?''

''Come to think of it, I can't remember a time where I ever have cried. Never. Not once that I can remember since the first grade.''

Everything seemed to close down almost immediately, the police left, the man left, and my mom just sat there on a bench. I walked up to her, calmly. My skin seemed to shine, as if made of crystal, in the sun.

[Sam]: Mom... who was that man?

[Mom]: Hm?

[Sam]: Y'know... the one I dropped off?

[Mom]: Ah. That was Andre. Nice man. Your father and I have worked with him in the past.

I could use a other few choice words to describe him rather than nice.

[Sam]: Also... Mom... why can't I remember ever crying?

[Mom]: I don't think this is a good time to talk about that, Sam. Let's just say you're a very important person.
