INEVITABLE

I GUESS I knew I intended to drive out there that night.

I knew before I hung up with Black’s friend, Manny.

I even told myself Manny told me to come.

Some subconscious part of my mind was convinced that’s what his last words to me really meant––that his mention of where he kept the key to his front door meant that, along with him saying I was welcome any time.

I told myself it was all a way of telling me that I needed to come that night, not wait for the morning.

I didn’t tell Cowboy or Angel.

I said I planned to get up early, to try and reach the Reservation as early as I could. I told them I’d take the SUV, so they might need one of Black’s other cars tomorrow.

Technically, none of that was not true.

When they went into the resort’s main restaurant, however, to get us a table on the patio, I visited the concierge desk and asked them to make sure the SUV would be ready for me that night, and that it had a full tank of gas.

Over dinner, the three of us talked about the lab results, and what happened to Black and Manny out at Ship Rock. I told them just about everything Manny told me, almost word for word. I told them what Black said about it being a door.

I wasn’t sure if I should tell them how Black first came to be on our Earth, or anything about Black’s past, really. Angel already knew he wasn’t from here, that he’d grown up on a different version of our world, in a different version of our history. She knew he’d been a slave in that other place, because we’d talked about that, and how it affected Black’s personality and worldview even now.

I wasn’t sure if he’d ever told her how he got here though, or if she’d ever had any thoughts about that. I knew the door comment was probably pretty meaningless to her without that, but in the end, I decided it wasn’t my story to tell.

I had no idea what Cowboy knew and didn’t know about Black’s past.

I knew he was aware Black was psychic.

I knew Black told him that openly, unlike most of the humans he employed, even Dex and Kiko, who still might not know much about Black’s abilities in concrete terms.

I was pretty sure Cowboy knew I was psychic, and similar to Black in that way.

Cowboy definitely knew my uncle and most of his employees were psychic.

He referred to my uncle and his people collectively as “the psychics” and seemed to know their differences extended further than merely their ability to read minds––and that Black, at least, was like them. Whatever theories he might have on the subject of seers and their relative differences with humans overall, however, he didn’t share with me.

I knew he and Black were pretty tight––tighter than Black was with most of the humans he employed, maybe in part because of their shared experience in that prison.
