Epilogue

Later that same extraordinary night, when they were floating in a hot air balloon above the Glow Bright paint factory and getting ready to destroy it with a pair of Mr Patton's very special plastic explosive bombs, Adam turned to Claree and asked her why she had bothered to save him. She took a minute before she replied. She had been staring off into the distance, not at the sea but at the stars. The wind had finally blown away the clouds.

'Why were you so surprised?' she asked as she turned towards him.

The others in the gondola were fussing with the explosives. Mr Patton was barking orders and looking excited. They had a moment to themselves.

'Because you blamed us for everything that is wrong in your world,' Adam said. 'Last thing I expected was for you to help me.'

Claree nodded. 'But then I saw how you were willing to risk your life to save your friends.

You know that is one of two things that I admire most about you humans. That your life is often at its best when it looks like it's going to end.'

'What is the other thing you admire?' he asked.

She turned and stared at the night sky, and Adam could not help but notice the great longing on her face.

'Your people have the stars,' she said simply.

He did not disturb her again. He just let her enjoy the view. Why, she did not even look down when the factory was wiped out.
