We examined everything. The paper was the most interesting. It was about a half inch wide with groups of letters in blocked printing.

“There’s more on the back,” Noah pointed out.

I flipped it over, seeing different letters. “They look like chopped-up words.”

He scrunched down in the seat. “Here we go again.”

“What do you mean?”

“How much longer is this going to go on? It’s one thing to send us looking for clues like we were kids again. It’s another when it involves somebody like Gerard.”

I studied his dark expression. “You’ve never been afraid of anyone, Noah. Not even those senior bullies who chased us with lit cigarettes. Why are you afraid of this guy?”

“I’m not afraid for me. I’m not the one Gerard tried to strangle.”

“Oh.”

“I can probably defend myself okay. But it’s going to be hard to try and keep you safe if Gerard wants to hurt you. Don’t you get it, Jocelyn? He’s all hot to get his hands on whatever it is that Jack is sending us on this crazy chase to find. Which means we’re damned if we get it, damned if we don’t. Either way, Gerard will come after both of us in the end.”

My worry took a giant step forward in this scary game of Mother May I. “What are we supposed to do? Should we just drop all this and make a run for it?”

“No. We need the final prize. Whether it’s Jack or something Jack left you. Otherwise, we’ve got nothing to help us figure out what’s going on.”

He took the strip of paper from me, holding it between his fingers and examining both sides.

“It’s a scytale,” I said. I could almost hear Jack’s voice from all those years ago.
