"Where to?" Sara asked. "To another apart
ment?"
He forced a smile. "To another city,
sweetie. In another state."
"A thousand miles away," my mother said.
You know, it's funny how the mind works. See,
I've been through more bad things, more terror, more
worry, more pain since I became an
Animorph than most people deal with in a lifetime. I
would have thought I could handle some
thing like my dad moving away.
A thousand miles away.
"Congratulations," I said, trying not to show any
emotion. "It's what you've always wanted."
My dad wasn't fooled. He knew I was
upset.
"It's the job, Rachel.
It's the way
it is. It's not like
I won't see you kids. I know it sounds like a
long
way and all, but that's why we have jets, right?"
"Yeah," I said. "That's why we have jets. I
think I'll just go upstairs and do some homework
now."
"Wait, I need to
..."
my dad protested.
I didn't slam any doors. I didn't throw
any
thing.
I just left.
Let
him
feel what it's like, I told myself. Let
him
feel what it's like to have someone just walk
away.
I went up to my room and locked the door
be
hind me. I couldn't breathe. I kept clenching my
fists and wanting to pound something. I think I
would have cried, but I was just too angry.
"Rachel?" It was him. He knocked lightly on
my door. "Can I come in?"
I couldn't say no. It would have sounded like I was
upset. "Sure. Why not?"
He came in. "I'm guessing you're a little up
set," he said.
I shrugged and turned my back to him.
