Chương 60: Chapter 60

“He’d seen you do it, the thing you do.”

Arlo frowned. Few had seen him other than those he’d healed. If his father was like him, and judging by what Mama had said that day in the hospital, he was, he wouldn’t need Arlo’s help with anything, and he hadn’t seen him do anything at all.

Silence stretched, and Arlo concentrated on the surroundings. He was the worst kidnap victim ever. He wasn’t blindfolded, but had he paid attention to where they were going? No, of course not. He’d been chatting with Deon as if they were on an outing or something.

Had he always been this docile? No wonder Deon had walked all over him.

They were heading away from the coast. The fields grew scarcer and the forests thicker. Arlo had never been in this area, didn’t know where they were heading. Deon took another turn, and the asphalt was replaced by a gravel road hardly wide enough to fit a car.

Arlo’s heart thundered in his ears. No one would find him out here.
