Carlie's Chapter 12 - Dear Tiger: Don't Look Back

LAST WEEK, Tiger said he was going to try to sneak aboard an Odyssey cruiseliner. This week, Simone reveals she's been moved into more 'secure' quarters by Odyssey, and that they're hiding something from her.Chapter 12 –Lotsa Luck

Good Luck, Tiger!
Break a leg, and all that kind of stuff.And take care.I’m glad to hear you’re all right, and I hope you made it off the ship you were hiding on, and onto a cruise liner, although no-one’s told me you’ve made it, yet, so I can’t wait for news.Seems to be the story of my life, waiting.I’m still waiting to hear from my parents. I thought they were with Odyssey, but Odyssey has gone really quiet about them, so I’m hoping for them, too—hoping that nothing has gone wrong between Odyssey getting them off-planet, and getting them here.Odyssey have moved me, too. They took me out of the room I was in, and put me in one that reminds me a lot of the one I was in when I was in the FedExplore complex—and they won’t tell me why. If I think about it too much, it scares me.But they’re still talking about me meeting up with my mum and dad. While they’re doing that, I figure nothing too bad is going on, and that helps keep me hopeful that everything is okay with my parents, even if Odyssey won’t tell me where they’ve taken them.It makes me nervous, Tiges, because Odyssey haven’t kept anything secret from me before, and now the only people I’m getting to see are the ones who can keep me out of their head. It’s a bit frightening to think they feel they have to do that.It makes me wonder what’s going wrong.Maybe you should wish me luck, Tiger.And tell me if the luck I sent you is doing any good, because, with what’s going on around here, I’m not sure if it’s working. Hugs and hopes for the best 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.
