Its time, Jack said.Breeze? Count the kids, Sam said.Brianna was back in twenty seconds. Eighty-two, boss.About a third, Jack observed. A third of whats left.Wait. Make that eighty-eight, Brianna said. And a dog.Lana, looking deeply irritateda fairly usual expression for herand Sanjit, looking happya fairly usual expression for himand Sanjits siblings were trotting along to catch up.I dont know if were staying up there or not, Lana said without preamble. I want to check it out. And my room smells like crap.Just before the time was up, Sam heard a stir. Kids were making a lane for someone, murmuring. His heart leaped.Hey, Sam.He swallowed the lump in his throat. Diana?Not expecting me, huh? She made a wry face. Wheres blondie? I didnt see her at the big pep rally.Are you coming with us? Brianna demanded, obviously not happy about it.Is Caine okay with this? Sam asked Diana. Its your choice, but I need to know if hes going to come after us to take you back.Caine has what he wants, Diana said.Maybe I should call Toto over, Sam said. The truth teller was having a conversation with Spidey. I could ask you whether youre coming along to spy for Caine, and see what Toto has to say.Diana sighed. Sam, I have bigger problems than Caine. And so do you, I guess. Because the FAYZ is going to do something its never done before: grow by one.Whats that mean?You are going to be an uncle.Sam stared blankly. Brianna said a very rude word. And even Dekka looked up.Youre having a baby? Dekka asked.Lets hope so, Diana said bleakly. Lets hope thats all it is.
