CHAPTER SIXTEEN

The car sped away from the hotel, and Fee had no idea where they were going. But she didn’t care. Holding the two small creatures in her hands, silent tears traced their way down her cheeks.

They were both crushed beyond recognition. Junebug was the first robot she’d ever made, and the Wildling had been an adorable but crazy part of their small clan. They’d been with her for a long time now, and to lose two of them at once was a blow that went straight to Fee’s heart.

“You must think I’m stupid, crying over a couple of metal robots,” she said to Henry.

He shook his head. “No, of course not. They were special.” He paused to go around a corner. “Can you repair them?”

Fee shook her head. “I don’t think so. They’ve been so damaged. He must have stomped on them. They’re completely crushed.”

“I’m sorry.” He genuinely did sound sorry.

“Thanks,” she whispered. Thoughts started to clamour for attention in her brain. “Where are we going?” she asked. They’d been so focused on getting out of there she’d forgotten to make sure he was on the same page as her.

“Out of town. To rescue your friend, Alberta. We’ll collect her, and take her with us. I just need you to tell me where the farm is.”

“About an hour north of Little Rock, Arkansas.”

Henry nodded. “So we could get there in less than a day.”

Glancing over at Henry, Fee frowned. “Only if we drive all night.”

“Do you want to get there as soon as possible?” asked Henry, his eyes on the road.

Fee sighed. “I guess so. But we should share the driving.”

“Sure. I’ll take first shift.”

Fee looked back at the road ahead of them. “Where are we going after that?”

“The Carnival. I can protect us there.”

“But what do we do about the Witch Hunters?”

“We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. First we have to make sure Alberta is safe.”

Fee felt something relax on the inside. He really was going to help her save Alberta. “But what about Lucas and the others?”

“They’ll have to take care of themselves. You heard those guys back there. You’re the main target. The bomb was for you.”

Fee shivered. Surely, it couldn’t all be for her? She led a quiet life, going between her little cubicle at Callaghan and home. What harm was she doing? “I’m sorry you’re tangled up in this,” she whispered.

Henry shook his head. “It’s not your fault. But we do need a bit more information. I’m going to call a friend.”

He pressed a button on the dash and said, “Frankie.”

The sound of a phone dialling, and then ringing filled the car. Fee raised her eyebrows. “How many modifications have you actually done?” she asked.

Henry shrugged. “A few.”

“Hello?” a male voice answered the phone groggily.

“Tell me you weren’t asleep, Frankie. It’s the middle of the day,” Henry said in a joking tone.

“Henry?” The voice still sounded half-asleep. “What do you want?”

“I need some help. I’ve run into some trouble.”

“What kind of trouble?”

“Someone trying to blow us up kind of trouble.
