Seeing Kato’s expression, Orphan cleared his throat, shrugged, and interrupted before he had the chance to ask questions. “Our business takes us into LaGuardia. We haven’t been followed, and I think it’s safe to say Channon’s not going into the Wilds…or the Zone. We’ve gone far enough. You can handle it from here.”
Kato grunted. “Suit yourself.” He was not comfortable in their company without Uzzi or Enola as a buffer between them, and he preferred not to lead them to the Pack and put his sister and Jia’s family at risk.
“Suit yourself. Help me get her up…” He mounted the horse and waited as Eddie and Creedance helped lift Candace back onto the horse. “Give Eddie the reins…he can lead the others.”
Again an exchange of glances, this time looks Kato saw; when Mortisa collected the reins of the other three horses and gave them to Eddie, it was with considerable reluctance.
“Good luck,” he muttered to them, expecting that, with this parting, he would not see the trio again.
He did not look back to watch them go. By sundown he expected to reach Queens College and then all of these past several days would be behind them.
Or behind him. He did not think Candace or Eddie would ever put recent events behind them.
Hours passed, quiet and uneventful, bringing with the end of each one the growing Cana scents that he had come to recognize. He could not isolate any individual member of the pack population, but he knew they were and soon the yipping, howling opera of unseen Cana was joined by the nearness of them through city streets and then the Wilds at the southern edge of the compound. The song ended with the emergence of four lean wolves emerging from the shadows, two flanking them on each side until the day’s ride ended in front of the library door where others had gathered to meet them.
