She was loyal and attentive now-constantly proving her value. He couldn't believe how much she'd changed over the last several hours. Do you need anything?"Ī warm feeling started at the center of his chest and spread across him. She brushed his hand with her fingertips. "Thanks, Early," Jacob said when she gave him the latest update. From then on, she asked him all the time how he was feeling-if he was tired or hungry. But then he realized she did it because she actually cared. He looked at her, eyebrow raised, wondering if she had ulterior motives. The first time she gave him a report on the Eetu fish's whereabouts, she'd also thrown in a question regarding how he was feeling. While in New York, he purchased several postcards depicting places around the globe and showed them to Early so she would know where to find him, in case they ever got separated. The fish found links in the most random and illogical places-through stone and small holes where its body couldn't possibly fit. It wasn't any wonder that no one had survived an attack. Without it, there was no way he would have been able to stay away from the Eetu. He took naps where he could, and the pain in his hands gradually lessened.
He keyed to many different locations around the world, only able to stay in each spot for a couple of hours at a time. It took hours for Jacob's clothes to dry, and when they did, they were stiff and uncomfortable.
The next several hours were long, exhausting, painful, cold, and tedious.
