There was no pathway along the far wall.

The path Eddie led Grandpa down ended at the corrugated metal wall. A steel post held up the corner of the warehouse.

Even if they’d been faster, it would have been a dead end.

Books shifted under Eddie’s feet as he looked around.

“We have to go back,” Grandpa said. “Back up the middle.”

Eddie tried not to look at the books, or think about what was moving around inside them.

“We should go straight over,” Eddie said.

The hill was less steep now that it had been pushed farther against the wall, and Eddie and Grandpa had risen with it to stay on top.

Eddie started climbing. He reached back to hold Grandpa’s hand. Grandpa squeezed tight, holding on for balance.

They reached the top of the hill.

The warehouse felt smaller from up here.

The wall with the red door was less than twenty feet behind them. The far wall was probably a hundred feet, with another two hills of books in between.

“Over there,” Grandpa said.

Eddie glanced where he pointed, to a ladder that led up the catwalk, on the wall to the left of where they’d entered. They’d practically walked right past it.

But something else had grabbed Eddie’s attention.

Across a valley of books, over a low hill, an earthy orange glow rose from down out of sight.

“What’s over there?” Eddie wondered aloud.

Grandpa shifted, sending a book sliding down the hill. “That’s a weird shade of orange, isn’t it?”

“It might be important.”

“The ladder’s over this other way. We’re looking for your dad.”

“If we find him without understanding what this warehouse is, we won’t be able to save him.”

“We can see down there once we get up to the catwalk.”

Eddie nodded. “Fine.”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you,” Grandpa said. “But you saw what happened to Pauline. We can’t go lollygagging around. In and out. There’s the ladder up to the catwalk and the manager’s office. We can probably see over that hill from up there.”

That was a good point. Eddie needed to know what the orange glow was, but if they could see it from a distance and get an answer, that would be safer. The longer they walked on top of these books, the worse the chance that they’d fall and meet the same fate as Pauline.

“Okay,” Eddie said. “Let’s get up to the catwalk.”

It felt good to let Grandpa make the next decision. Even still, Eddie worried that he’d given in because he was afraid.
