I See You (Oracle 2) (32 page)

“If the power can be controlled,” Henry said as he shuffled toward the Brave, leaning heavily on my shoulder.

“That would be more than a favor owed.”

Henry grinned. “Yeah, I’m damn sure you’re going to need a federal marshal checking up on you, Rochelle Hawthorne Saintpaul. Often.”

“Not by choice.”

“It never is.”

Henry opened the door to the Brave. By transferring a bunch of weight off my right shoulder and onto the interior door handle, he managed to lift his foot to the first stair. He was okay using the backs of the front seats and the kitchen counters to stabilize himself the rest of the way, but I followed just in case.

Beau would be back to snuff out the fire, but I thought it might be a nice change to sleep outside tonight … in our sleeping bags underneath the stars … in the middle of the world … yet separate.

Maybe that was exactly where we belonged.
