He<br /> tapped on the microphone to get everyone&rsquo;s attention. When the crowd fell<br /> silent he spoke.</p> </p> <p> <p> &ldquo;Ladies and Gentlemen of Thorn<br /> Valley. We again have faced and overcome a crisis, but this was no ordinary<br /> crisis. It brought together the best and worst of human kind and our kind.&rdquo;<br /> He said, a questioning murmur went through the crowd. &ldquo;I will explain that<br /> shortly. Jenner and Dr. Schultz are no more.&rdquo; He said. The crowd erupted in<br /> applause. He raised his hands to silence them. &ldquo;We are safer now than ever<br /> before and though there are many who we have to thank for that, there are two<br /> whom most of you are not aware of, one of them had been thought lost to us a<br /> long time ago but has at last returned.&rdquo; Justin said, applause and cheers had<br /> already started before he had finished speaking. &ldquo;May I proudly introduce<br /> Jonathan Brisby.&rdquo; He said and the entire crowd rose to its feet and continued<br /> with its jubilation. From behind the curtain Jonathan stepped forward. He<br /> waited for the jubilation to die down. Justin handed the mike to Jonathan.</p> </p> <p><a href="http://robin.thornvalley.com/node/43">read more</a></p> http://robin.thornvalley.com/node/43#comment Thu, 04 Nov 2004 15:33:30 -0700 Simon 43 at http://robin.thornvalley.com
