Little Pete. Hes not exactly just Astrids autistic brother. He explained briefly while Toto added a chorus of Sam believes thats true remarks.How do we get Little Pete to do anything? Dekka asked.The last time Little Pete felt mortal danger he made the FAYZ, Sam said. He needs to be in mortal danger again.Jack and Dekka exchanged a wary look, each wondering what the other had known or guessed about Little Pete.Little Pete? Jack asked. That little kid has that kind of power?Yes, Sam said simply. Next to Pete, me, Caine, all of us, were like . . . like popguns compared to a cannon. We dont even know what the limits of his powers are, Sam said. What we do know is we cant communicate with him very well. We cant even guess what hes thinking.Little Pete, Dekka muttered and shook her head. I knew he was important, I got that a long time ago. But he can do that? He has that kind of power? She pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, I see why you kept it secret. Its like having a nuclear weapon in the hands of, well, a little autistic kid.
