Chapter 25: Eden

Didi follows Bo, his hand still gripping hers, dragging slightly behind him as they move through the city. She keeps her head down now, worried she might run into Jackus again. Has he tracked her here? He must have realized the gunslinger put her on the train, that she's looking for her father. It's just disconcerting he might know how to find her.

But no, as she walks along behind Bo, his firm hand on hers, her logical mind puts it all together. Of course he knows she's in the city and their path from the mag train yard was pretty much a straight shot. It would be easy for Jackus to find them. She's been acting foolishly, bouncing around from disaster to desperate act to mindless wandering.

That has to stop if she's going to find Dad.

Their odd course to escape their chasers seems to have done the job, for she sees no sign of Jackus or the two men he's been traveling with. Either that or the mechcop appearance scared the squatter enough he's gone into hiding.
