Sam looked out at the lake with soly enough, the plan had worked All his people were on the water The water they were on was drinkable, so there was no question of thirst The lake provided a reasonable amount of fish, and all their stores of food were likewise in the boats

And the kids could quite easily survive out there on the boats for a good week, maybe even tithout much problem

If you ignored the fact that accidents would happen And stupidity would happen

And if you ignored the fact that the whole world ht be dark very soon

And that soether like they werean omelet

The only boat that didn’t pull out was the White Houseboat Sam, Astrid, Dekka, Brianna, Toto, and Ediliofro mismatched watercraft could see them (Sinder, Jezzie, and Mohamed had been packed off to other boats) It was is under control Sa that illusion would last

“Okay, first things first,” Sa at Brianna

“I got it,” she said She had her runner’s backpack The one with a sawed-off double-barreled shotgun sticking through the botto the pack into a holster

“Wait!” Sam yelled before she could disappear “Find Look” He pointed his finger at her and leaned forward,sure she heard “And come back”

Brianna made a fake wounded expression and said, “What, you think I would go and pick a fight? Me?”

That earned a laugh froh was reassuring to the scared kids in the boats

Brianna blurred out and Sao up from multiple boats

“Go, Breeze!”

“Yeah, the Breeze!”

“Breeze versus Whip Hand!”
