The Uninvited Guest {unfinished account}

Percival, while researching on the Tril, came across the name of an occultist who had once searched for this illusive book.

Joseph Gavin.

Looking up information about the man, brought up information about his arrests for public drunkenness, and jail sentence for the false imprisonment, assault, and rape of a man, as well as an old angelfire website where he advertised his spiritual guidance abilities.

Percival tried calling to arrange a visitation, but was told he had to be on his list, and that he should contact Gavin’s lawyer, so Percival instead wrote a letter to him, hoping to get added to his visitors list, so he could ask him about his search for the Tril.

Percival never heard back from Gavin, then one day while he’s at the tower, a knock on door comes. Percival check his ring and sees a man in an ill fitting suit. The man identifies himself as a FBI agent and wanted to speak with Percival about Gavin as he had escaped from prison and thought he might have come here since Percival had written to him.

Percival recognizing Gavin, questions him as to why he came here and what he wanted, he claims he is dying of cancer and no one ever contacted him in prison so he came to share his powers with Percival.

Percival turns him away due to his erratic behavior and knowing Gavin has harmed and possibly killed people. Gavin says he’s no taking no for an answer and after being rebuffed repeatedly he leaves. Only to return again.

This time Percival let’s him inside to just talk, before he’s seen outside.
