PROCESS ON HOLD

Quinn looked from the notification window that was still in front of her vision, to Hal, and back to the notification. She held up her hand to forestall any typically grandiose statement while she processed what he’d just said.

“You’ve got it now?” she asked, her voice laced with disbelief. “Which obviously means you previously did not have it. Explain.”

Uncle Hal laughed, that boisterous, overwhelming sound. He was in a frightfully good mood. Quinn wanted to smack the smug smile off his face, but she refrained.

Hal shrugged good-naturedly and shrank himself down to just above the eight feet he’d been at his initial visit. “Quinn. Librarian. Little egg. There’s no need to be so upset about it,” he said, his voice soothing.

“I’m not upset,” Quinn said, her voice defensive. “I’m shocked. I wasn’t expecting you to bring the last book in.” But the more she thought about it, the more obvious he’d been. He’d literally sent a message to her that she didn’t need to go out and get it right now because he’d seen that it would come back to her. Basically, that’s how she’d interpreted the information. “I just . . . I wasn’t expecting you to be the one returning it. That’s all.”

Hal grinned. “I know, and that was part of the fun. This surprise has been a delight.”

Quinn squinted at him. Yep, he was definitely up to something, but she wasn’t entirely sure if it was now, or up and coming. Eric was a lot like him, in a way. A complete and utter troublemaker. Uncle Hal watched her, an expectant look on his face. Quinn raised an eyebrow. “You’re dying to tell me how you retrieved it, aren’t you?”

“How did you guess?” Hal said, gleefully clapping his hands together as he grinned toothily. “So, Lynx had given me the approximate location of the books. I knew Betty likely had one, and reached out to her. She’s always been . . . unique. And I gather she did pop in and give you the other one, right?” Hal didn’t wait for an answer. “Anyway, I made several sensory sweeps of the aforementioned area to find the book. It’s not really the type of book enemies would try to hoard. I guess unless you’re studying the reversal of healing, which is its very own fork in those affinities . . .”

“Uncle Hal. Focus.” Quinn had never seen him quite so enthusiastic.

His grin widened, and his sharp teeth indented on his lips as he did so. “Sorry . . . I realized the approximation was quite close to a tiny Citrophosa delegation we have out in that sector. Now, they’re a fantastic, amazing species at assisting in every way. However, they’re not very conscientious of other people’s belongings, and-or dates and times. Ever. They lose track of everything not immediately in front of them. Anyway, it was much easier to retrieve than I’m letting on and not nearly as exciting as it probably would have been if you’d have gone there to get it without me.
