At the bottom of the PVC pipe, Pip stood expectantly, like a soldier awaiting her orders.

“What are you doing here?” Wendel asked.

“Waiting.”

“For what?”

“For you.”

“Oh!” Wendel seemed flustered but smiled. “I’m sorry you were sent away. I never would have done that. So, now I think you should go up above to be close to Jid. If he doesn’t die from exhaustion and suffocate in the glue, the McCorkles will check the trap soon enough, and if he’s still alive, they’ll exterminate him. Nathaniel is with him, and I have reason to believe that all is well with that, but we should not leave our own Grandfather, our Jid, to die without a witness from our colony to keep watch.”

“You got it! I’m going.” And she scrambled up the pipe.

“Thank you!” Wendel called after her.

“He’s our Jid. Don’t thank me!” she said.

When she emerged from the pipe, the scene that was unfolding broke her heart. She remained out of sight behind a stocking cap that must have fallen to the floor of the utility room. Pip watched, hidden by the hat, and decided it was best to remain quiet.
