CHAPTER 20: ABE, TANIA, AND LILY

“Hurry,” I said and she took her children in an instant. Without an idea of what I am saying and where we are going. She carries Dustin while I carry Anna and without a word. We went to the Mayor’s political gathering even though she didn’t have a complete idea about what we were going to do here. We waited backstage for the mayor to go down. The guard wants us to leave and wait at the front stage but I told them not to leave because I need to talk to the mayor. I remember what Michael said that I don’t need to be attached to humans but here I am. I hypnotized the guard to let us stay and leave us alone. We are waiting for the Mayor to finish his speech and go backstage where we are waiting. I heard Dustin cry. Maybe he is not comfortable already because of the crowd and the noises that make him exhausted. I put Anna down and carried him and I tried to calm him down, but he was still crying. Finally, the mayor went down.
