Chapter 151
My sister and Aaron were pretty far behind us, I noticed, and a quick glance behind me let me know they were carrying on an IAC conversation. I turned back around and wondered, for the hundredth time, what that would be like. “So, you from Iowa?” Brandon asked me as we walked along.
“Uh, yeah,” I replied, assuming he probably already knew that. “And you’re from Oklahoma?”
“Born and raised,” he replied. I glanced up at him, and he smiled down at me. There was something about him that immediately set me at ease, like we had been friends for years, sort of like the vibe I’d gotten from his dad, though he was definitely different than Elliott. While they looked the same, and their voices had the same gravely quality, as well as a similar accent, when I looked at Brandon, I didn’t see his dad. “You a senior?”
“No, I’m a junior,” I replied. “Are you a senior?”

Laughing, Brandon puffed up his chest a little and said, “I’m a grownup, too, you know? I just left home, starting a new job. I’m an independent man.”I couldn’t help but laugh. “I don’t know about that. What did your mom say when you told her what you were doing?”I watched a shadow cross his face, and he folded his arms. Quietly, he admitted “I didn’t tell her.”My mouth dropped open. “Seriously?” I asked, taking a step closer to him “She doesn’t know?”“Nah,” Brandon shrugged. “I’ll tell her later.” He acted like it wasn’t a big deal. I couldn’t even imagine coming from Oklahoma to Missouri to alter my DNA without telling my mom. But then, part of me thought it might be nice to have that sort of freedom, too, to not care what my parents think. I didn’t know what to say. There seemed to be something going on bet

My pity party was interrupted by Brandon’s exclamation of, “Now that’s a climbing wall!” We were in the main part of the gym now, and I had to agree with him. We were looking at a monster.“It’s a pretty difficult climb,” Aaron was saying. Gesturing at the other side of the gym, he said, “And that is called The Hill.” It was an incredibly steep incline that reached almost to the ceiling, which looked to be at least three or four stories above us.“Whoa! I wish we’d had that at football practice. That thing is steep,” Brandon marveled as we approached it. “You just run up it?”With a bit of a smirk on his face, Aaron asked, “Care to demonstrate, Cadence?”My sister was standing next to me. She had one hand on her stomach, and for the first time I realized she had a pained look on her face, like something was bothering her. “Uh, sure. Give me a second,&rdqu

“That’s basically the entire facility. Do either of you have any questions?” Aaron asked Brandon and I as we looked around the gym.Without hesitation, Brandon said, “Yeah, when do I get to meet Sam?” His hands were on his hips, and once again, I was slightly reminded of his father. I pushed the thought aside.Aaron and Cadence exchanged a nervous glance. “Don’t you think you should wait until you Transform for that?” Cadence asked.I didn’t give Brandon a chance to answer. If he was meeting Sam, so was I. And I wasn’t waiting a year. “I want to meet him, too.”Cadence’s head was shaking before I finished talking. “No way. That’s way too dangerous.”“What?” I had lost it again. I was shrieking. Like a crazy person. “He was in an airplane crash. He’s basically a pile of mush. What could he possibly do to me?” She was not my m

I could tell Cadence and Aaron were still talking to each other through the IAC because they were way ahead of us, like they weren’t paying too close attention. I was taking my time on the slick stairs, though, and Brandon waited for me. When we reached the bottom, we went around a corner and down a narrow hallway a short distance.There were a pair of high security doors. We passed the first one and Aaron stopped in front of the second one. I imagined Laura was behind door number one. Part of me wanted to see her, too, to let her know how unhappy I was that she’d shot my sister, but Cadence was alive, and I was sure she’d already gotten her revenge.In a quiet voice, Aaron reminded us about Sam’s condition. “He’s in pretty bad shape, but he’s still a cantankerous old fart, so stay back. And, Brandon, whatever you plan to say to him, don’t expect any sort of polite response.” He looked at us both for a long moment,

The walk back over to Jamie’s office was mostly silent. I knew that he had alerted my sister and Aaron that he was ready for Brandon to come back. My sister never took her arm from around Brandon’s shoulders the whole time we were walking, so I didn’t get a chance to ask him again if he was nervous, though I got the impression he was, at least a little bit. I was sure he was still thinking about Sam, too, though. I knew I would be for a long time.We’d just crossed onto the sidewalk that led to Jamie’s office building when I realized my phone was vibrating. I pulled it out and saw that Lucy was calling, but with everything going on, I tucked it back into my pocket and tried to stay focused on what was going on around me. I’d call her back later, after Brandon was all done with his Transformation procedure.Something else must’ve been going on, too, because Aaron and Cadence kept doing that thing they do when they are having a c

Jamie cleared his throat. He was holding the tourniquet and seemed to be set to get on with it. Looking at Brandon, he asked, “You ready?”I saw Brandon’s eyes shift, and he seemed to swallow a lump in his throat. Everything was suddenly very real. “I guess so,” he said quietly.“Wait!” The word was out of my mouth before I even knew I was going to speak it. They all turned and looked at me, and I stepped over to the side of Brandon’s bed. Hesitantly, I said, “Uhm, good luck.”Brandon looked into my eyes, and I suddenly felt a lot calmer than I had before. I think he did, too. “Yeah, thanks. I’ll see you in a little bit, okay?”I nodded at him, trying to be as confident as possible. I put my hand on his arm, which seemed more familiar than it should after having only known him a few hours, and said, “I’ll be here when you wake up.”He didn’t say an

I could tell that Jamie was trying not to laugh at me as he headed toward the door without another word. I wished I had an IAC so I could tell him to stop being a jerkface, but my sister would question our familiarity, so I chose to glare at the back of his spiky head instead.Following Jamie to the door, Aaron said, “I’m going to go call his mom.” Cadence nodded at him and leaned back in her chair, her hand still on her gut.Jamie brought in three more chairs and offered the first to me, which I took. He set one on the other side of Cadence and then sat down next to me. This was the first opportunity I’d really had to talk to him since I arrived, but with my sister here, it was a little awkward, so we sat in silence. I was staring at Brandon, lying there like he was just asleep, and realized my leg was swaying back and forth frantically. I tried to stop it, but I couldn’t. “You sure he’s okay? He’s awfully still,”

This assured me there was something else they weren’t telling me. I didn’t know where to look and was having trouble staying focused on what they were saying as I wanted to demand information about what had happened with Giovani, but I did hear my sister say, “Jamie, I’ve been on a hunt, and it was fine, remember? As soon as I get a few minutes, I’ll let you do it. But I really think it’s fine. So long as I don’t get dropped from any great heights.” Once again, she was glaring at her fiancé, and I began to think she needed to let that go, although I would probably also not be happy if someone threw me out of a moving airplane.Aaron didn’t acknowledge her comment. Instead, he inhaled deeply and then said, “I’ve been talking to Eliza--a lot--this evening, and she seems to think that Giovani has left the country. She’s got people looking into where he might be headed, but she doesn’t really hav
