Chapter 31

Naboo's waiting when we get back.

"What happened?" He yelps, jumping up.

"Naboo, just stay calm…" Saboo begins.

"You're carrying the man that is like a son to me, and you want me to stay calm? Tell me what happened!"

"I'll explain in a minute. Aram, come with me. The rest of you, go."

"But Saboo…" Kioni argues.

"I said go." He replies firmly. They all leave apart from Aram. Saboo, still carrying me, walks out of the room.

"Where are we going?" I ask sleepily.

"You're going to bed. You've had a long day, you need sleep."

"What about you?"

"I'm going to talk to Naboo"

When we get to the bedroom door, Aram opens it. Saboo walks in and puts me down on the bed.

"Try to sleep, Vince." He pulls the covers up to my chin. "Please."

"Saboo, he'll be angry."

"I know, little one, but he has every right to be."

"But he shouldn't be angry with you! It was my fault, all my fault…"

"No it wasn't. It wasn't anyone's fault. Now go to sleep."

"Ok. Bye, Saboo." I watch him leave then close my eyes
