Lost Him Already

Relaxing in the car on the ride back was impossible. My eyes kept going to the masks Gabriel had in the front seat.

Kota’s car had been stolen. Volto dropped off some masks. Why go to the trouble of putting the masks around the store? It caused an uproar among us, scrambling to figure out what happened and why.

Volto seemed to like putting us into a panic. Maybe Luke was right. Maybe if we did something unexpected, Volto wouldn’t be able to control us, to make us scatter just because he was around.

As soon as we pulled onto the highway, Dr. Green sat back, breathing out slowly. “Okay, so we can set up surveillance and then go to Nathan’s for the night.”

“Maybe not,” Gabriel said, looking at his phone. “Some of us have to babysit Theo at the apartment. That’s just in case he decides he wants to run off or do something. It’ll be easier to keep an eye on him if someone’s there, and Silas isn’t going to be around tonight. So who gets to camp out at Silas’s?”

Dr. Green and Luke talked at the same time:

“Not me!”

“Not me!”

Then they both glanced at me, expectant.

I was wide-eyed for a moment, trying to figure out what they wanted me to say. “Gabriel can’t go alone,” I said. “We’re not supposed to separate.”

“Sang and I can go by ourselves,” Gabriel said with a grin. “We’ve got this covered.”

“Not while I’ve got an evening off and nowhere to be,” Dr. Green said. “I’m not going to sit at home alone.”

“I don’t have to get to the diner,” Luke said. “I want to hang out with Sang.”

Gabriel grunted. “It’s going to look all fucked up if we’re all babysitting Theo.”

“Is Charlie home?” Luke asked. He sped up to get around another car on the highway. I checked his speed, and he was ten miles over the limit. The others didn’t seem to mind or didn’t care.

Gabriel took out his phone and started pushing buttons. “Charlie’s at the office. He might be manning the phones tonight.”

I hadn’t realized that they might have GPS trackers on family members and not just their own phones. “Where’s Theo?” I asked.

“In his room,” Gabriel said. He tapped again at his phone and then lifted it to show me the image. It was a top down view, so I could see almost the whole thing from one corner, probably a vent like where they installed cameras at my house. I hadn’t seen the room before, and it was hard to recognize Theo, but he was lying on his bed, sprawled out and staring at the ceiling. The bed just had a blanket over it, no pillows. The room itself had a television and a stereo. I couldn’t hear anything, but it didn’t look like the television was on. Some walls had posters, some clothes were scattered across the floor.

“Do we need to go inside?” I asked. “I mean was Kota just going to sit in a car all night watching from his cell phone?”

“I don’t want to sit in the car,” Gabriel said.
