They stopped at a street corner. Gabe needed to turn left to get home. Frankie’s place was off to the right.
“Don’t burn anything at your dad’s,” Gabe told him. “You’ll probably start a whole forest fire out there. If I turn on the news and all of California’s burning, I’ll know it’s your fault.”
“Don’t have fun without me,” said Frankie. “No fun.”
“I probably won’t,” said Gabe.
They did their secret handshake, which was complicated. Then both of them went home.
The Envoy moved low to the ground between hedges and trees, still dripping with pond water. Gabe didn’t notice it following him.
