Chapter 30
"Vince…Vince…" I hear a soft voice. It seems to be far away, but it's getting closer. I move my head. "He's coming round!" The voice calls out. I open my eyes.
"What's going on?"
"Well, what do you remember?" I can tell now that the voice is Saboo's.
"I was walking…you were all there…then I started remembering and now this." I can see that Saboo wants to ask more but he doesn't.
"Ok. I think we'd best take you home. Can you stand?"
"I think so." I say. But when I try to, my legs collapse beneath me. Saboo catches me as I fall.
"I guess not." With that, he lifts me up and begins to walk, calling for the other shamen to follow him.
"Saboo? What are you doing?"
"You can't walk, Vince, so I'm carrying you." He says, still walking.
"I can walk!" He looks down at me, one eyebrow raised.
"Really? I think that previous attempts suggest otherwise." I don't reply.
As we approach the house, Saboo turns to Dennis, who is walking alongside him.
"Dennis, get the door." Dennis obeys. "Thank you." He turns to the crowd of shamen. "When we go in, I need you all to do as I say. Naboo will, understandably, be upset. If I tell you to go, you have to. Understood?" They all nod. "Good." He walks inside, and they follow.
