Now, I waited.
I went to visit Nana and the kids early the next morning. A team of three FBI vehicles traveled with me. We were hoping that Kyle might take the bait1 and follow. Not surprisingly, he didn’t show.  No one really expected that he would, but we were willing to try anything at this point.
Aunt Tia had a small clapboard house that was painted yellow with white aluminum2 shutters3. It was located on a quiet street in Chapell Gate, which she called ‘the country’. As I drove up to the small house, I saw no evidence of the FBI, which was a good sign, I thought. They were doing their job well.
The special agent in charge was a man named Peter Schweitzer.  He had an excellent reputation. Schweitzer met me at the front door and introduced me to the six other agents inside Tia’s house.  When I was fully4 satisfied about security5, I went to see Nana and the kids.’Hello, Daddy/’Hello Dad/’Hello, Alex.’Everybody seemed especially glad to see me, even Nana. They were having a big breakfast in the kitchen and Tia was busy making pancakes and hot sausages. She put out her arms for a hug and then everybody grabbed6 hold of me and wouldn’t let go. I must admit, I liked the attention; I needed the hugs.
‘They can’t get enough of you, Alex/Tia laughed, and clapped both hands, just the way she’d been doing for years.  ‘That’s ‘cause we don’t see enough of him,’ Damon taunted7.
‘The job’s almost done,’I said, hoping that was true, not completely believing it/At least you’re all getting three squares a day/I laughed and gaveTia an extra hug.
I ate some breakfast and stayed at Tia’s for more than an hour. We never stopped talking the whole time, but only once did anyone bring up the current difficult and scary situation. ‘When can we go back home?’ Damon asked.
They all stared at me, waiting for a good answer. Even little Alex
held me in his gaze8.’I won’t lie to you,’I said finally.’We have to find Kyle Craig first. Then we can go home.’
‘And it can be just like before?’ Jannie asked.  I recognized a trick question.’Even better than that,’I told her.’I’m going to make some big changes soon. I promise you.’
