The Game Master of Somerville
Unable to resist a mystery, Jerry uncovers an on-line gaming site referring to a asecret placea for young people who feel they donat fit in and a game master who promises them a world where they will belong. When the daily news headline reads, aPritchett, James (31), Murderer, Escapes from Prison, a Jerryas mind begins to race, and after a bit of research, he finds more about the elusive Mr. Pritchett. Guilty of murdering the Watts family, he escaped prison and was last seen not far from the city of Somerville. But is the escaped prisoner the game master? ***** aWhatas this game?a I pointed at the name, aThe Clash of Magic and Swords?a aBeats me, a said Justin. Nick shook his head as well. aItas an on-line multi-player strategy game, a said Kate. aIt has a lot of fantasy elements in it.a aPeople play on-line games, a said Justin. aThereas nothing weird about it.a He was right. aLook for something else, a I said. I wanted to find something important on Willas laptop, something that would give us a hint about who had taken him or if he was in contact with someone. There were pages where Will talked about going out on his own and finding a asecret placea to share with his friends, especially Stephen. I read one of the entries to myself. It was written about six months ago. aI wish I could find a place, a place I could call my own. I would be surrounded by my friends and we would play as long as we wanted. Maybe someday Iall find it and then Iall go there.a I read the rest of the pages. William sounded obsessed with finding his own asecret place.a I read an entry that was made a month ago. aI think Iave found it. Stephen and I came to know about it around the same time. I canat wait to go there. He said heall take both of us. Iam so excited. We are Orphans of the World!a aWhoas he?a I asked myself. At first I thought it was Stephen, but re-reading the last line again told me there was a third person involved. ***** aA Clash of Magic and Swords, a she answered enthusiastically. aI made a lot of friends through this. Have you heard of it?a she asked. aNoabIaba and then I remembered. I had seen the game in both Stephenas and Willas history when I was in their rooms. Stephen played the game on his laptop while Will played it on his desktop computer. My mind felt as if it was trying to tell me something but I couldnat make out what. aCan you find out how many people in Somerville play this game?a I asked. Ana nodded at me. aThe game has all kinds of stats in it, a she said. aYou can know more about the game from here, a she answered, opening a menu for me. aThanks, a I said. I looked at the menu in front of me. It had all sorts of information. The final version of the game was made available to the public six months ago. According to the statistics, Anaas profile showed more than a hundred players from Somerville. There was also a list of different teams or guilds players could join. My eyes noticed the guild named aOrphans Of The World.a aThatas a very powerful guild, a said Ana. aItas very exclusive.a aCan you show it to me?a I asked. aWe do not belong here. Our place is below the sun and moon. Those of you who wish to join, come open the circle to our world.aaFor the last time, a I answered, keeping my voice calm as we walked through the corridor towards the chemistry laboratory. aWhat would ... Therea#39;s a whole pool of unsolved cases out there waiting for me to take a dive into them.a aMaybe ... It took me some time to become accustomed to the smell of the chemicals all around me. My brown-haired friend put on her safety goggles and opened her textbook.
