    “Oh, you know,” she said. “Manny would say hey there, beautiful, how was your day and she’d meow and he’d say that’s great, you take some good naps? And they’d go on like that.”

    Hunter set the plate he’d been rinsing on the drying rack and turned off the water. He was still staring at her, one of those long, considering looks he was prone to. “Uh,” he said. “Mrs Noceda, Flapjack can talk.”

    Summary

    The basement stairs groaned as the door opened. “What are you two laughing about?” Hunter crept up from behind. His hair was a total mess and his pajama pants were dragging along the floor. He squinted at the paper and his eyebrows shot up.

    “Oh great.” Vee grumbled. “Now Hunter’s gonna narc on us.”

    “What? No” Hunter grumbled. He grabbed a banana off the kitchen table, casually peeling it before taking a big bite. “I don’t even know what ‘narc’ is.” He explained.

    Luz eyed her sister. Then her brother. She drew her hands to her lips and sucked in a long breath. “Okay.” She began. “You know how every time we go into town we need to look at him?”

    “Yeeeessssss?” Hunter narrowed his eyes. “Where exactly are you going with this, Luz?”

    “We wanna let everyone in Gravesfield know what a tool he was and write it all over the statue!” Vee said quickly.

    Summary

    When Kikimora’s hand dragon attacks the Golden Guard’s airship-blimp, Luz and Hunter fall through a Titan’s Blood leak and get stranded in hell. Well, it’s actually a McDonald’s in Dallas, Texas, but that’s basically the same thing.
    Now their next order of business is to roadtrip across the country back to Connecticut. Will they succeed without killing each other? Probably not, but it’ll be funny to watch them try!

    Summary

    The kids were gone. They failed. It’s been over half a year.

    There wasn’t a time limit to this. To finding them. To bringing them back home. But it still felt like a metaphorical noose tightening around their necks with each passed, wasted second. They were exhausted. And well past the point of being horrified at their situation that they were now seated, practically squatters, in the backyard of downright despondent.

    The kids were gone. They failed. They kept failing. The heartbreak was something physical now. Clawing into their chests like it had a personal agenda to make them all hollow. And there was an anger there, burning and coiled tight enough to make them all feel brittle with it. 

    The kids, their kids, were still gone. And their millions of impossible, stupid, desperate plans kept failing. 

    But parents, as Darius was quick to catch on, were impossible, stupid, desperate things too. Stubbornness something etched into their titandammed bones, and it didn’t really matter that their millions of plans kept failing. 

    They were exhausted, and horrified, and miserable and angry. They kept coming up with a million more.
