Chapter 27

The waves were choppy, but the motor yacht cut through the surf with ease as they followed the river out to the ocean. John seemed thrilled to be at the helm next to Dr. Barrie, who was steering. His look of contentment and joy mirrored that of a dog with his head out the window.

Tootles and Michael were sitting next to Tink, who kept checking to see that neither boy loosened nor removed their life jackets. Every time she would turn her head, she would catch one of the boys taking a turn pretending to undo a strap or loosening it. She would whip her head around so fast, and the impish boys would turn into angels, their halos glowing so bright that one would need glasses. Tink continued the game to keep them occupied and to distract them from the fact they were chasing down an army of Red Skulls, powerful Dusters, and their lost boys. The odds weren’t in their favor, and this after they had barely survived the attack on Neverwood on their own turf, with home field advantage. How would they survive on Neverland’s death trap?

That’s what Jax referred to the island as—a death trap. John had hacked the website and found a backdoor to a second hidden website not accessible to the public. He traced that IP address and was able to get a location. Everyone had gathered around his computer at the house when he did a reverse trace. When the location was found. Jax looked up at Dr. Barrie, and shook his head in disbelief.

The boys slowly turned to each other, understanding dawning on their surprised faces.

“No way,” Ditto said.

“Can’t be,” Slightly chewed on his thumb nervously.

It happened to be the exact coordinates of Tink’s non-island.

Dr. Barrie solemnly confirmed. “Looks like we’re going back, boys. Back to Neverland.”

They had loaded the motor yacht and set off an hour later.

Jax cursed and punched the bench seat before heading below deck to speak with Ditto and Slightly. Their somber faces mirrored his own. Nana was sprawled on the floor sleeping, oblivious to the world.

“Are you sure it’s the same place?” Ditto asked nervously, his hand subconsciously going to his midsection, covering his wound. Whether from pain, or an intuitive motion to protect that, which is vulnerable, he didn’t know.

“Positive,” Jax stated.

“But didn’t you destroy it?” Ditto continued.

“Fire doesn’t destroy stone, not unless it’s hot enough, and since we never went back, who knows what’s hiding there, or what they’ve built over the years.”

Slightly had taken to chewing on the side of his thumb, something he only did when he was under severe stress. Jax knew this was definitely one of those times. Neverland was the epitome of all of their nightmares combined. He had a right to be stressed. They all were.

“What do you think is there?” Slightly took his thumb out of his mouth to ask.

“Monsters,” Jax answered. Ditto scoffed and Jax glared his way. “You think I’m joking, but I’m not. What
