Chapter Eleven: Lance

I’m in the middle of dreaming about taking down Rasputin single-handedly when frantic shouting jolts me awake. I crack open my crusty eyes to find Boom Boom leaning over me, shaking my shoulders.

“Lance, wake up! Wake up!”

I lift my head. Dorothy is lying on my chest. My back aches from sleeping on the ground. My mind is in a fog, which always happens when I’m roused out of a deep sleep, but things are starting to come back to me. We set up camp for the night and Boom Boom went for a walk. Arrow eventually went after her. I was tempted to follow as well, but Dorothy and I were talking. Since she’s still reeling from the death of her best friend, I didn’t want to be rude and ditch her. Pretty soon we grew tired and lay on the grass. I must have drifted off to sleep shortly after that. I glance over at Krystal, who’s snoring loudly on the other side of our burned-out campfire. I don’t see Arrow and Machete, though. The Moon Cruiser is gone as well.

“What the hell?” I grumble, sitting up. Dorothy slides off my chest and jolts awake. She rubs her eyes and mumbles, “Is it morning already?”

I look up at the sky. It’s still pretty dark, but I do detect a soft, gray light off in the distance. Dawn is slowly yet surely shedding light on the darkened world.

“Arrow and Machete ditched us!” Boom Boom shouts in a near panic. “We’re stranded!”

I jump up and grasp Boom Boom’s trembling shoulders. “Okay, Firecracker, calm down. You freaking out isn’t helping matters.”

Boom Boom’s eyes are wide with fear, and her face is ghostly pale. She’s not herself. She’s been a little off the past couple days now. I have a sinking feeling I know why.

I give Boom Boom a gentle shake. “Focus, Firecracker, focus! Where did you and Arrow go last night? Do you know where he and Machete might have gone? Maybe they just went to go get some supplies.”

I don’t believe that, of course. I agree with Boom Boom; they deserted us. But I need her to calm down.

My ploy doesn’t work, though. She pushes past me and screams, “I can’t believe the bastard deceived me! I poured my heart and soul out to him!”

Boom Boom gasps and steps back, nearly stumbling over a tree root. “My God! He couldn’t have… he didn’t!”

“He couldn’t have what?” I ask.

Boom Boom ignores me. Instead she puts her goggles on and logs onto the internet. I can tell from the green light shining out of the sides of her lenses.

Boom Boom bites her lip as she looks for something. A few seconds later she screams, “No… NO!!”

I grab Boom Boom shoulders once again and lift her goggles. Her eyes are filled with tears.

“Boom Boom, listen to me.”

Boom Boom’s wavering eyes finally focus. I take a deep breath and calmly say, “What’s going on? I want to help you, but I can’t unless you tell me what’s wrong.
