All right. Special skills. Customer service, organization, inventory, cooperation with coworkers… Those were marketable skills, right? Oh, I could do cashiering too. Maybe I could even add my words per minute, if I was looking to get any sort of office job. I searched for typing tests. My results said sixty-two words per minute. According to the internet, that was on the low end of professional. Maybe I shouldn’t include it after all.

Okay, now I needed to find a way to make it look impressive that I had only ever worked two jobs. How did I do that?

After about fifteen seconds of wondering, the theme song to Full House popped into my head for no reason. I tried to ignore it and focused on my job history. At some point, I blinked and realized that two minutes had gone by where I hadn’t touched the document in front of me. The Full House theme song was still on repeat.

I sighed and brought my hands up to rub my eyes. There was a dull ache in the back of my head and a knot in the pit of my stomach. Knots didn’t usually hurt, right? They weren’t supposed to, anyway. They were more like nerves. But I wasn’t really that nervous. And my stomach definitely hurt.

Why hadn’t Suldeargan come back yet?

I looked out the window and frowned. He said if he got too far from me, he’d be in pain. Was he in pain right now? Was it bad? Was it any worse than what I–?

Shit.

“Fucking curse,” I groaned, standing up and going to grab my shoes. “He didn’t say it went both ways.”

I was ninety-nine percent sure that the cause of my headache and stomachache was the distance between Suldeargan and me. Did he not know, or was he just trying to piss me off? I wasn’t sure, and I didn’t really care. Right now, I just had to find him so I could focus on something else.

I shut the window before I left and locked the doors. I didn’t have a car, but since I didn’t know where I was going, an Uber didn’t seem like the best idea, so I just started walking. I headed in the direction that I’d seen him flying toward. I went that way for three blocks, then crossed the street and turned left. That was where he had disappeared behind the tall building. I was officially lost from here. Oh, well. I’d just keep walking until my body stopped hurting and go from there.

I kept going for a few more minutes. As I passed another intersection, I suddenly realized that the pain wasn’t as bad as it had been before. A few more minutes, and it was gone completely. That must have meant I was close. Looking around, I recognized a couple of things. There was a building next to a park with a mosaic on the wall of children playing. There was a gas station across the street that Kelly had stopped at a few times.
