That moment-out there, on the bridge, Isaak and me-that’s really when everything changed. I wasn’t prepared for what else happened that day.
I’d rehearsed my excuses all night the night before, when I’d been too worried to sleep. He told me that Joseph Condor knew about what we’d done. My fears were confirmed when I made my way, palms sweating and heart pounding, onto the sky bridge to the administration building and found Isaak waiting for me. A routine tell us about what you saw and then you can go home interview. I mean, GSAF had said they were going to follow up with us about the skeleton we’d uncovered on Sunday (yeah, this wasn’t exactly your typical geology project), so maybe that was all it was. But I was usually the sort of person that managed to avoid the principal’s office, so getting a call like that at all was still enough to send my nerves all over the map. I’d kind of been expecting it, what with the object currently residing in my basement-the one my friends and I had sort of accidentally brought home with us from the geological dig we were volunteering at on the weekends. That hadn’t given me a heart attack or anything. Really, it all started that Monday afternoon, when I got called out of my Algebra II class to go to the principal’s office. If I’m honest, though, that’s not even when everything changed. If I had, maybe things could have been different.
I didn’t even realize he was gone, at first, or that he was in trouble. Chapter 1 Music Note TamaraĮverything changed when Isaak disappeared.
