Carlie's Chapter 4 - Dear Tiger: Don't Look Back

LAST WEEK, Tiger revealed what had happened to his parents. This week, Simone tells Tiger she's found help in the form of a group called Odyssey.Chapter 4 – New Allies

Dear Tiger

I don’t know if you’ll get this, but I’m sending it anyway.I know you’re out there. Somewhere. I know you’ll answer if you can.You’ll be glad to know I made it. I got right out of the FedExplore complex, and onto this cruise liner. Thing is, I wasn’t supposed to be there.I know, right? Like that was a surprise.I found an empty cabin and managed to hide out for about three days. I even hooked into the computer so it made the cabin invisible. Odyssey weren’t real happy about that. When they found me, they were going to hand me over to GalPol—and then I told them who I was.They have psis, Tiger.Good ones. Ones so good you don’t even know they’re in your head until they’ve been there for a while—and that was even with all the stuff you sent me. This one didn’t even trigger the alert sequence.Anyway, they agreed to take me on.They’ve given me a new name, and are taking me somewhere safe, somewhere FedExplore can’t reach.And they’re real mad at what’s been done to us.Anyway, they said to tell you they wanted to help.Tell me where they can meet you, and they’ll be there.And be careful, Tiger.What if those things follow you? What if they cut loose on board a space ship?I wish I knew you were safe, and doing okay.Get in touch with Odyssey. They’ll help you.
Love
Simone.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The complete series is available as short, individual ebooks, and will become available as an omnibus, later this year. In the meantime, you can find them on this blog, until one week after the last chapter in the last book of the series has been posted, at which point this series will be taken down, and a new series serialised on site.
