The day was bright and sunny for a Wednesday, the past Wednesdays had been rainy it probably meant a good omen.

Vennesa stepped out of the white car that pulled up at the sidewalks, the dealings with the man had payed off,  the first stage has been placed in motion, all that remained was for the phase to begin, a little push to set everything in motion.

She walked away from the car, moving down the road to the nearby restaurant. At the entrance of the restaurant, different signs were pulled up mostly to attract customers but one caught her eyes,it had different colours blended together which made it sharp and vibrant.

It read;   In a bit

In a jiffy

The time will tell..... 

The message wouldn't have meant a thing to a person but it certainly meant something to her. The group should have met up at the restaurant, everything had to be in place.

She walked into the restaurant and looked around trying to spot anyone who seemed familiar.

In a table beside the window was a couple,the guy raised his head as though sensing her gaze and quickly set his head back down, that got Vanessa alarmed.

The guy whispered something to the lady beside him,  Venessa sensed that something was wrong, looking around again she noticed that few people were actually present in the place for an hour after noon, that got her suspicious.

Something must be wrong, no one from her group was present, she couldn't even wait to seat.

She quickly walk out of the restaurant. As an afterthought she decided to look back and saw the building which was also a mini cafe glowing softly, the sign which she had previously read was upside down, she glanced around to see if anyone had done that but she saw no one around the vicinity, the road was suddenly empty, no cars no dogs no kids playing,  the park was empty no litters on the ground..... Nothing.

The building which had been glowing white suddenly disappeared and everything and everyone reappeared.

Venessa walked away as she needed not fear anything,

The Phase had started .

With the surroundings suddenly filled with noises and activities, She looked back once again at the direction of the  mini cafe to see a parking lot.

She smiled to herself, she hadn't expected it so quickly.

Indeed the Phase had began.
