‘I couldn’t find
him,’ he says as he reaches me. ‘I think Elle and Upson are with Tarquin.’
He sees the look on my face and
reads the worry. ‘What’s wrong, Easton?’
‘I did find him,’ I blurt out.
‘Yates, I think I’ve made a huge mistake.’
I quickly run through my meeting
with Teague. Yates’s face darkens with every passing word.
‘So you think he really had
changed?’
‘Not anymore,’ I reply.
‘We have to find Tarquin,’ Yates
says.
I nod and follow him through the
crowd. He’s a lot better at parting it than me. I don’t know how he does it. He
finds gaps that I didn’t realise were there. Maybe that was my problem all
along. I went after Teague single-handedly when really I should have gone to
get help.
Right now I feel more lost than
ever. Sandra’s words echo in my head. I should have given this place more of a
chance. What was ever wrong with a bit of peace? Now my negativity might have
ruined it for everyone. I’ve unleashed the monster in Teague.
Elle stands with Upson and Tarquin
near the front of the crowd. After a few more nudges and several more tuts, we
stand beside them. It doesn’t take long for Elle to read our expressions.
‘Oh for christ’s sake,’ she says.
‘What have you done now?’
