CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

Windows to the Soul

OUNG SIR. Is something wrong?”

Leave it to Jam to be the most perceptive . . . at least without Bethany there. She could read Erec like a book.

“No. I mean, I’m just worried. But I looked into the future with my dragon eyes. We all will get out safely except Wolfboy. Spartacus, could he possibly stay here with you until we get back? I think he’d really love it here.”

“Of course!” Spartacus clapped and called Wolfboy over. “This guy will fit right in, won’t you? And I know what you like to eat, don’t I?”

Wolfboy jumped all over the friendly man, so much that he didn’t notice when Jam took the dog food out of his backpack.

Erec was embarrassed that he was asking so much from Spartacus. “Can I give you some money to feed him while we’re gone?”

Spartacus crossed his arms. “No way. He’s my dog until you’re back. I’ll take care of him. No problem.”

“Thank you.” Erec bit his lip. “And if anything . . . were to happen to me, could he stay on here with you?”

“Of course! But you said you saw in the future that you’d all get back here okay.” He raised an eyebrow.

“I did! But . . . just in case, I mean.”

Jam looked sideways at Erec, but he didn’t say anything. Luckily, nobody else seemed to notice Erec’s black mood. So he forced a smile and said, “Let’s go, guys! On to Jakarta. Hope Baskania’s place isn’t too hard to find!”

Spartacus Kilroy led the group through his house, patting Lalalalal on its head. “Remember, don’t speak unless you’re spoken to.” He held a hand out, inviting them into his Port-O-Door. “I was pretty lucky to get this door—they’re really expensive. But I guess that’s one good thing about being an ex-AdviSeer. I still have a few connections. I don’t know much about Upper Earth, but I’ve heard of Jakarta. It’s supposed to be beautiful. A bustling city, and lots to do there.”

Melody sighed. “Too bad we’re not going for sightseeing.”

Griffin pulled one of his sabers out and waved it in the air. The mynaraptor on his shoulder edged away from the blade flying by. “Speak for yerself, ye wench. I’m going to see the best sights of all. Me enemies’ heads rolling at me feets.”

“Watch out!” Melody lowered her eyebrows at Griffin. “You nearly beheaded me. And don’t call me wench, okay?”

Humbled, Griffin bowed. “Yes, ma’am. Mighty sorry, I am. I won’t be nearly beheading you anymore, or any of you others. Pardon my witless—”

“That’s enough!” Melody said, to shut him up. “Can we just find Jakarta and go?”

Jam scanned the map of Upper Earth in the Port-O-Door and tapped Indonesia, in Southeast Asia, about halfway between India and Australia. When the map of Indonesia popped up, Jack pointed at Jakarta on the northwest coast of Java, one of the country’s many islands. Erec was glad that Jack and Jam were focused enough to find the cities. He was too nervous to concentrate at all.
