An Outing

Phineas has just taken Cindy home after an encounter down in Blackstone that could have quickly gone south, and now a friendship has been established. To repay Phineas for his kindness, she’s invited him to the performance of a new play up in the Sangua City Opera House, an institution of high culture in the city. Phineas can’t usually go to such a high-profile event, so he’s quite thrilled about this.

This outing, however, will set up the last encounter that will unite all the main characters: the meeting between Phineas, the protagonist, and Jack Draconi, the main antagonist. It remains unclear just what Draconi sees in Phineas, but heavens knows it’s not friendly.

Malcolm either couldn’t or wouldn’t attend the play, possibly because he’s still angry at Phineas for not letting him in on what he’s up to. His absence, though, will play an important role in the next excerpt. With any luck, it will be posted promptly tonight.
