"Good. Now we have to make some things happen. Kit, I'm taking over the HOV. Start sliding over." What are you up to?" Kit asked."You guys are getting...out," he said as he climbed over the seat from the back and took control of the HOV."WHAT!" I shouted in stunned surprise."You heard me. The two of you are getting out and I'm going to lead them away. I told you that I was not going to let anything happen to you and I meant it." He whipped the HOV sharply around the corner of Eighth Street. “Now for the other business we have to discuss. I made two deals to generate cash flow for the town. The first was when I was in Dru’Tirk, looking for help with my shoulder. You, in conjunction with the others at the workshop, will make fishing boats out of Teaka wood. We will also be making wagons that can successfully transport the boat there, while still being able to ship fish back to Cartha for sale. I am thinking something watertight. That way, the fish will be able to survive the travel. She really should know better. We’ve been best friends since we met on the bus on our first day of high school.”“That still doesn’t explain why,” Tate said. “Nobody does something for nothing.”I laughed and then said, “I do. I have four monster foster-care mini-city complexes in the United States. I’m footing the bill for everything. Anything the government tries to pay for each child’s care goes into an account in that child’s name. It is theirs when they walk out the gates, which can be. Either way, if it's my time, then I'd rather be doing something good than sitting around waiting for it."I've started this thing with Jennifer and want to see it through. The other thing is - I want to keep moving until I can't. Being busy is the best way to get through the day. I'm not staying a long time. As soon as we get some answers from Doctor Abrams, I'll be back. I just need to do this, so what're your thoughts?" They gave me 'the look, ' excused themselves, and went to confer.They.
