'Go,' macon told Edward,and he dropped the leash.
Edward flew down the street.the older children ran away as he rushed at them,barking.He stopped suddenly in front of Alexander, and Alexander knelt down to hug his neck.
When Macon arrived,he said,'Are you all right?'
Alexander nodded and got to his feet.
'What was all that about?'Macon asked him.
Alexander said.'Nothing.' But when they started walking again, he slipped his hand into Macon's.
Macon help those cool little fingers in his,and felt a pleasant kind of sadness running through him. Oh,danger had returned to his life.He was forced to worry once again about wars and disasters and the future of the world.
