Part 15 (2/2)
”Through the looking gla.s.s, right?”
Joey frowned. ”Huh?”
”Never mind. So where would you suggest we look for Jenny, then? She could be anywhere.”
Joey shook his head. ”I say we stay right here and that she'll probably be along shortly.”
”Of all the places in these woods, you think she's just going to wander down in front of us?”
”Why not?”
Annja smiled. ”Methinks you've got a lot of faith.”
”Just a confidence in the way the Creator works, that's all. If that's faith, then so be it. But I don't get all religious about it. Just appreciative.”
”Thankful.”
”Exactly.”
Joey hunkered down on a nearby log and started studying the ground. Annja watched him as he ran his hands over the dirt. ”Any tracks?”
Joey shrugged. ”Not sure, actually. I see some depressions, but I can't tell what made them.”
”Really?”
He looked up. ”Well, like I said before, I'm still studying. I can't get out here every single day when school's in session. I still have to do homework.”
”Sorry.”
”Forget it.”
Joey went back to studying the ground. ”Funny thing, though, whatever made this was pretty large.”
”Meaning?”
”Nothing, I guess. I'd sure like to know what track this is. There are no real impressions, just a displacement of dirt. It's weird.”
”Why are you guys looking at the ground?”
Annja glanced up. Coming out of the trees in front of them was Jenny Chu.
Chapter 9.
Annja couldn't contain herself. She rushed up and grabbed Jenny in a bear hug. ”Thank G.o.d you're alive!”
Jenny nodded and Annja let her go. ”I don't know what happened exactly.”
