Chapter 67

• Daxx stopped to kneel down, adjusting her shoelace, she said. There wasn’t anything wrong with her laces that I could see. She wore her tall flat boots and the laces in them were fake.
• While she fixed her fake laces, I turned around to see where the others were. We were on the street and it wasn’t quite dark, which is how they planned it, so my red hair was clear to see. I wondered more than once, since making plans the day before, if I might want to try a new hair color soon.
• I didn’t know where Chase, Arius, and Leone were, somewhere up high so they could watch for any watching us, I was told. Tim and Bronx were hidden as well, their size and appearance would draw too much attention. I had to agree, they looked like pirates from that movie, and we didn’t have many pirates on the streets.
