Harrison had deep bags under his eyes when I found him in his dorm room later.

“Teddy?” He scratched the hair at the nape of his neck. “Are you sure? Is the test even accurate?”

“I’m sure.”

Harrison wouldn’t look at me. His roommate, Anton, came in, and gave me his usual sneer. Harrison complained about me to Anton one time a few months ago, and Anton had seized the opportunity as an excuse to despise me forever. At least I was getting used to it.

“Are you staying here for a while, June?”

I hesitated and looked at Harrison for a response.

“We’re gonna head out,” he told Anton. We stepped into the hallway.

“What are we going to do about Teddy?” Harrison asked as we stood closely against the wall. “We can’t leave him alone.”

“I know. Honey and I were going to take shifts.”

Harrison scratched his head again.

“Ok. Yeah. I can help with that. I don’t see how Honey’s gonna stop a traveler.”

I shrugged.

“Who knows? It’s the only plan we have for now.”

We worked out a schedule with Honey where one of us was always near Teddy except when he was sleeping. It was a boring routine. Teddy started eyeing me funny when I was around; he knew he had at least one stalker.

Meanwhile, Professor Garvey’s research assistants created what they hoped was an antidote for the tracker injection. The professor assured us it could be taken orally. That meant we could slip it into Teddy’s drink without worrying him. After only a few days, we could finally stop tracking him ourselves.

Honey did the honors. We caught Teddy the weekend before Thanksgiving break before he headed out of town. Honey found him in the dining hall and gave me a nod halfway through lunch. She did it. Teddy downed a glass of soda, and just like that, I felt like I could breathe again. We wouldn’t be able to watch Teddy over break; he lived in Ohio. Now he’d be safe at home and off the traveler’s strange cocktail.
