Chapter 4

But Evan has permission to stay there and work for a little while on a possible new illness. It’s an interesting case and place.

“I’ll tell you about it. I’m not sure what to expect. I’ve packed for a few days because I know it’s unlikely I can cure these kids overnight. And if I have my way, I’m not coming home till they start improving,” Evan says.

“Don’t let the locals pick on you,” Sue warns.

“I’m sure they’re not as unfriendly as people say.” Evan has met Felis before, but ones living or working in human run towns, and Evan hears they are different from the Felis who live in isolation.

“Still, good luck with them, and with helping the kids.” Sue smiles.

“Thanks. I’m going to go grab my bag and get out of here.” Evan already had his good-bye hug with Marshmallow Fluffy Butt in his apartment because he didn’t want to get sappy in front of Sue, even though he’s pretty sure she wouldn’t mock him for it.
