Excerpt
“What did he do?” Gracie broke the silence and put more beans on Josh’s
plate.
It wasn’t that they didn’t like him; it felt unnatural. While their own
father had not been father of the year, he was still their dad. Gracie didn’t
have to like it, but some things were bigger than divorce.
“Aw, Ma,” he whined at her stern expression.
“He gave Wyatt four free tickets, and I want the extra one,” Josh
crowed.
“Tickets…to Monsterland? I thought we talked about that.” Gracie put
down her fork. She turned to Carter. “We didn’t take the tickets he offered to
all the town workers. No…I won’t allow it.”
“Mom!” Both boys said at once.
Wyatt was first. “I don’t know why you don’t want to let us go. He gave
me a special pass, one that would allow us behind the scenes, to see how the
park works.
“Yeah!”
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance,” Wyatt added.
“He has four invitations!” Josh shouted.
“Shut up, Josh,” Wyatt said hotly.
“Wyatt…” Carter warned sternly.
Wyatt’s cheeks grew red with frustration. He continued, his voice
slightly elevated. “He gave me special VIP passes. He said it was safe. The
mayor, senator, and governor are going to be there.”
“President McAdams too,” Carter said glumly and then added, “and me.”
“You?” Gracie looked miserable.
“We’ve all been called in. Jessup’s even bringing in volunteers. We’re
not equipped to handle the level of people attending.”
“Dr. Conrad should supply his own guards,” Gracie said resentfully as
she stacked used dishes.
“He is,” Carter placated her. “He is supplying them at all seven of the
parks. He is having his global opening tomorrow. This is the biggest thing to
hit the planet.” He shrugged, his face unhappy. “Look, Grace, once the
president said he was attending, they had to pull out all thestops.”
“It’s like being part of history. I have to go. He asked us to be his
ambassadors to tell the world about Monsterland,” Wyatt said.
“Carter,” Gracie implored.
“I agree with you, but Grace…” He looked her full in the face. “It’s
safe. Conrad’s got it all under control.” He looked at the eager boys and then
back at her. “I’d rather they got it out of their systems on a day when
security will be high than a regular day. Besides, I’ll be there as well.”
Gracie still wasn’t happy. “What was the fight about?”
“Manny gave me an extra ticket. Max Peterson offered me five hundred
dollars for it.”
“You’re not scalping a ticket,” Carter said, looking at his stepson.
“You might as well give it to Josh.”
“See.” Josh beamed. “I’m going to Monsterland. Thanks, Carter.”
“Yeah, thanks, Carter,” Wyatt said resentfully.
