“Dad? Where are you?”
Tommy checked his watch, tucking his cell phone between his shoulder and his ear. “At the Tower. Shouldn’t you be in detention about now?”
“I am, butthepenguinistotallyhavingapanicattackorsomethingandIfinishedwritingallthelinesontheboardalready and could you please come here please Dad?” Ray-Ray took a long breath, during which Tommy managed to get from New York City to somewhere that he was pretty sure was still east of the Mississippi.
“Stay where you are, Ray-Ray. I’m on my way.”
Tommy could run from New York to L.A. in nine minutes. He knew this because he made the run several times a week. A lot could happen in nine minutes, so this time, he made it in six.
Ray-Ray was still in the detention room, offering a nun a bottle of water. The woman was mumbling prayers and staring at Ray-Ray like she’d never seen the girl before, despite the fact that they spent almost every afternoon together in the detention room.
The blackboard was covered with Ray-Ray’s untidy scrawl.
Tommy checked his watch again, confirming what he had suspected. Detention had started eight minutes ago. “Ray-Ray?”
“Irandowntothestoretogethersomewater,” the girl said quickly, running a hand through the untidy tangle of her black hair and crossing the room in a blink of an eye. “She’s totally freaking out.”
“Yeah,” Tommy agreed, ruffling Ray-Ray’s hair. “You’re gonna need a haircut. Long hair and superspeed… not such a great mix.”
