377 Chapter 377

Deciding my mom may as well know what had been going on with Aaron, I confirmed her suspicion. "I know," I said as the microwave dinged. I grabbed my lunch and a can of pop out of the refrigerator and headed into the living room. I decide my mom may as well know what was wrong with her future son-in-law. "Holland was messing with him."

My mom turned to look at me as I took a spot on the sofa. "She was what?"

"Yeah, she was clogging up his brain with all of this black goo." I realized as soon as the words were out of my mouth I hadn't even told Aaron that much. "It was weird. But he's fine now."

"The things you kids do these days." My mom's utterance made it sound like Aaron had been listening to a controversial band or even eating Tide pods. "Well, I hope this is what he was looking for."

"What is it?" I asked with food in my mouth. A quick glance at the map let me know it was of the area of Melbourne where we'd extracted Paul and killed Carter. But that's all I could tell.
