I'm writing this while eating a bag of microwave popcorn. I'm also listening to Hamilton. So if their are Hamilton quotes in this I'm sorry in advance. (JK no I'm not.) This chapter is dedicated to all the Team Foster-Keefe shippers. Even though he does not have teal eyes he is clearly the better choice.

Nothing could have prepared Tam for what happened when he entered the mess hall. Shouting was the least of his worries. The usual board with something creepy like,"Just you wait for the revolution." Or,"Humans will pay for this getting stuck in my head." It usually never made any sense. But dread washed over Tam when he saw that on the board was covered with pictures of all his friends. They were clearly paintings but they looked alive. A person tapped Tam on the shoulder and he looked over to see Mort.

"What you doing?" He asked with his usual voice that sounded like he didn't understand the modern way to speak.

"I'm here because I was recruited." Tam replied sounding bored.

"You not like?" Mort said tilting his head to one side.

"Not really." Mort looked confused by his answer but the ogre looked angryily at him so he started the shouting match again. Alvar motioned for Tam to sit next to him and he complied. The breakfast was disgusting. Rotten fruit and moldy bread. He needed to remember to impress the next orginazation with Shade tricks only if they had gnomes. Tam's mind wanders off to remember when Biana and him were searching Candleshade. She had made ripplefluffs for them to eat while they searched. And somehow, she had made them perfect. Not to sweet but not to bitter. They we're surprisingly satisfying. (Angelica would be jealous.) Tam shook his head. He had to focus. Linh could be in danger. So instead of thinking about Biana, Tam turned to Alvar.

"Do we know where they went?" He asks trying to get any details.

"Nope. We talked to Trix to see what she knows. She knew where they went Just is not telling."

"So we know they went somewhere willingly. But we don't know where?"

"Yeah, basiclly." Tam took a couple more bites of his fruit. It tasted more awful then it smelled. Tam missed the gnomes. He also missed Linh, Biana, Fitz, Dex, Wylie, Sophie, and on occasion Keefe.

Tam pulled out the spyball and whispered,"Show me Linh Song." Then the worst thing happened ever. Two terrifying words appeared on the ball, NOT FOUND.
