Chapter 13

Jamey sat upright in bed. Something woke him. Then he heard it again. A strange noise above the house that must be the Howler Monkeys starting up. It didn’t sound like howling but he couldn’t think of a better word. He looked over to see Tina smiling, her breast exposed to his son’s hungry mouth.

“Monkeys,” she whispered.

Others had joined in. It was more like a mechanical sound, like bass feedback, at a very high decibel level. “Wow,” he mouthed. “Did you sleep?”

She nodded. “No dream jump though,” she said.

“I had a normal,” he said.

“Me too.”

Kai looked over to his Daddy, reached for him and when Jamey offered him his thumb to hold, the baby went back to nursing happily. He’d had a strange dream, one he hadn’t had in a very long time. It was a recurring dream that had bothered him as a kid. When he woke at two, he barely remembered the details. The gist of it was that his sister Jenny was a baby and was in danger. He had to keep her safe. Jenny was now in her mid-thirties so laying there in the dark, remembering how the dream haunted his childhood, Jamey guessed he’d done his job. All this worry about Wyatt had dredged up repressed feelings about protecting everyone. When the twins were babies, he’d almost driven himself crazy with worry. Carrie had to put up with a lot of his paranoia, and in those early years with their daughters he’d tried to distinguish dreams from just plain worry about being a good father. With Kai, he’d learned to calm down and not take his dreams so literally. According to Tina’s parenting books it was normal to have these dreams.

He and Tina lay staring at each other in the pre-dawn light, listening to the monkeys in the trees above the house. As more woke, the noise gathered in volume. Kai ignored them as he sucked and swallowed.

“You should see the babies,” Tina smiled.

Jamey smiled back. “As cute as our baby?”

They looked at Kai now lazily sucking his morning milk. “No. But fuzzy, with long arms and darling faces.”

Jamey heard someone in the kitchen moving around, dishes clanging in the moments between howls. “When he’s done with breakfast,” he nodded to Kai, “we’ll head to Granada, have our breakfast there.”

Tina nodded then looked worried. “I wish we’d have a big ole’ dream jump with Kevin, showing where Wyatt is.”

“You and me both.” He slipped out of bed, threw on his cargo shorts and the same T-shirt he’d been wearing for days. “I’ll see if that’s Diego out there.”

The kitchen was mostly dark, but someone was making coffee wearing a headlamp. It didn’t look like Diego. “Good morning,” he said.

“Hi Jamey.” The woman didn’t turn around. “I’m just making the coffee. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to meet you last night. I’m Annie.” She half-turned and waved, then turned back. Her dark hair covered a good deal of the back of her pale robe, making her look like some mythical creature in the semi-darkness.
