Fey and Dax finished their breakfast and headed outside with Drakie. As they left the told Helen goodbye.
"Bye mom." Dax told his mother giving her a hug on the way out. "We will be back before dark, hopefully."
"If we aren't, make sure you tell me dad." Fey said. "He will be able to find us. Here I will write down his number for you." Fey found a piece of paper and jotted her father's number down for Helen.
"You two be careful." Helen said. "Drakie you keep them safe. There will be extra pancakes for you tonight if they return safely." Helen knew she wouldn't be able to see his response, so she continued. "I know you are motivated now."
She had summoned her self-driving car while they ate breakfast and it awaited them outside. It had parked itself nicely on the curb. Fey and Dax let Drakie sit in the front passenger seat. They wanted to sit together in the back.
