“Much to April’s dismay, we rested for only thirty more minutes before we continued on. Lou had set up a checkpoint with her crew. She was already a few hours overdue thanks to her abduction by Carl’s goons. They wouldn’t wait much longer for her. They had to keep on the move or they were at risk of being caught by the Délons. She believed purple creepies were on the hunt for Oz and, as far as they knew, he was wherever Wes and Lou and the others were. And if he wasn’t, he would come for them if he thought they were in trouble. And he would, but Lou had no idea where he was. He had left a year ago to find the Source, the key to the Délons return to absolute power.

“That’s why Lou formed an alliance with the Silencers. She promised them the Source if they helped her find Oz. She had no idea what or where the Source was, but she convinced them that Oz knew, and she could get him to turn it over to the overgrown crustaceans. They agreed and fed her the latest tips on Oz’s whereabouts, all the while keeping the Délons distracted and off her back. But she was growing more and more mistrustful of the Silencers and knew it was just a matter of time before their agreement was ended and she and the others were turned over to the Délons. She was running out of time, and so was Oz. I didn’t want to ask her what made her think he was still alive. I knew she had thought about it. It was written on her face when she talked about him, but she had an unflappable faith that he was alive because I’m sure he promised her they would see each other again. That’s the kind of thing people said to each other even though they had no way of keeping the promise.

“After walking and talking for an hour, April finally piped up. ‘This is crazy! You people are just going to have to stop. My feet hurt. I’m about to collapse from exhaustion. And I’m pretty sure Little Bobby’s been asleep on his feet for the past couple of miles.’

“‘We can’t stop,’ Lou said. ‘C’mon it’s not much farther.’

“‘I don’t believe you,’ April said. ‘You’re just saying that. I’m not stupid, you know...’ Her jaw dropped and her eyes opened wide. She stumbled backwards while pointing behind me.

“I turned to see a large white hairy monster marching through the woods in front of us. It was fifteen feet tall, with a broad mouth and red eyes.

“‘Tarek,’ Lou said excitedly. She ran to the beast and hugged it tightly.

“‘Lou,’ it said in deep explosive tones.

“‘It’s been so long.’ She reached down in some thick brush and picked something up. I saw legs dangling around her hip. She was holding a child. One of about two or three wearing a tiny little backpack. ‘He’s getting so big,’ she said.
