Cat woke up with a start, rocking his hammock. How long was I asleep? he wondered. He remembered Nubby giving him three mugs of water, some fresh biscuits, and a plantain. But that had been in the broad afternoon sun. Now it was dark. An oil lantern hung near the door. Its flame was turned way down low.

Cat untied the leather pouch, reached in, and removed the lock of red hair. He smoothed it with his finger and wondered about his mother. He still could not picture her whole face. Just the sad smile and her hair. But somehow, he knew she had loved him. That brought Cat a mixture of comfort and pain. He wondered what had happened to her. He reached into the pouch and withdrew the cross. He’d managed to brush away most of the tarnish. The silver reflected back the orange lantern’s light.

“Why did you give me this?” he thought aloud.

He reached once more into the pouch and removed the green jewel. He heard the echo of the other voice, hard and terrible.

Where is it, boy? Cat held the cross in one hand, the jewel in the other. He wondered which one the hideous man from his memory was after.
