COSMIC CARSON

Maryah

Everyone was home safe and sound, except Harmony, but Faith assured me she’d be home in a day or two at most. I had to admit a part of me was happy the Nefariouns were nowhere to be found in Calgary. The thought of any of the kindrily being near Dedrick made me cringe with fear. I felt bad that we were no closer to finding Gregory, but we still had hope. Two hopes: Sheila and me. A burst of friendly competition had sparked inside me. I was determined to master astral traveling and find Gregory before Sheila did again. I was much more hopeful given my recent astral travel and glimpse into Nathan’s soul.

Nathan traversed back to Calgary to convince Harmony to give up on her investigation and come home. She was determined to find out why Dedrick had been there, but her search had led her to one dead end after another.

Krista and I were supposed to have some alone time to go out for milkshakes, but Carson asked if he could come along and Krista told him yes before I could say no. As always, he insisted on driving.

I might as well have been invisible the whole time. They talked about the trip, the plane, some phone application Carson was designing that sounded too technical for me to understand, and a bunch of other topics I eventually tuned out since I wasn’t involved in the conversation. The whole night I felt like a third wheel. They didn’t even attempt to include me.

By the time we were on our way home, I was glad the evening was almost over.

I was in the backseat, glancing between Carson’s profile and the back of Krista’s head. They talked to each other even more casually than Nathan and I did. Carson was zipping along a good twenty miles over the speed limit when he suddenly came to a wheel-screeching stop. I flew forward, ramming the back of Krista’s seat. Carson turned his head, looking behind us as he reversed a few yards.

“What the heck, Carson?” I cracked my neck to make sure I didn’t get whiplash. I tried seeing Krista’s expression in her side view mirror but she was facing Carson.

“Turtle?” She casually asked him.

He nodded.

“Turtle?” I repeated.

Carson stopped the car and climbed out, leaving his door open. I leaned between the front seats and watched Carson pick up a turtle from the middle of the road. He examined it then carried it down the bank and off into an area with bushes.

“How did you know it was a turtle?” I asked Krista.

She grinned, still watching him. “The same thing happened the other day.”

Carson the Turtle Saver. Who would have guessed?

Carson climbed back in and buckled his seatbelt. “He’s all good. Not a scratch on him.”

“So this is a hobby of yours?” I asked. “Saving turtles?”

“Good karma,” Carson replied. “The worst is when they’ve already been hit but aren’t dead. It’s no fun playing God.”

My eyes darted to Krista. She always said she didn’t want to be a doctor because she didn’t want to play God.
