Erek leaned close to me. "He's been like this all day," he whispered.

"He'll seem okay. And then he loses it."

So he was still delirious part of the time.

"Any close calls with my dad?" I asked. I glanced at the stall door.

From this side, the hologram looked like a smoky silver cloud. I could only see faint shapes and shadows out in the barn.

"Tobias had to buzz the cages once. The animals all freaked, and that kept your dad busy," Erek answered.

83 "Just tell me you're not going to get this stupid illness."

Erek smiled. "I've never been sick a day in my life. And I am really, really old."

I turned my attention to Ax. "Ax. Hey, Ax. Come on, stop staring up there. I need you to talk to me."

Ax slowly lowered his eye stalks.

"Can you tell me where the Tria gland is? Can you point to the spot on your head?" I asked.

<You said the test wouldn't cover the Tria gland,> Ax complained. <You said we didn't have to know the glands.>

Oh, man. He thought he was back in school.

"This isn't a test, Ax. You're not going to be graded or anything," I tried to reassure him. "Just take a guess. Where do you think the Tria gland is? I need to know."

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Erek grabbed my shoulder and pointed into the barn. A dark shadow moved closer.

It was my dad thumping through the barn in his clunky work boots. And he was heading right for us.

I threw myself at the stall door and scrambled over. It had to look like I had materialized out of thin air.

"You don't have to do a thing out here," I 84 blurted. "I already fed and watered all the animals myself."
