“Can I go with Bob?” Ruby asks Akello.
Akello touches Ruby’s back with her trunk. “I’d much rather have you stay
here, dear. And it’s ‘may I.’”
“But Uncle Ivan!” Ruby pleads.
“I’ll keep an eye on her,” I tell Akello.
“I’m going,” Ruby says in her most determined voice. “Maybe I can help. I
helped just now.”
Akello hesitates but finally gives a slow nod. Probably she figures there’s no
arguing with Ruby.
She’s right on that one.
Ruby crosses the moat and joins Kudzoo and me. “Be careful,” Akello warns.
“There’s more of this storm coming.”
“I got her, Akello,” I say.
“You’d better have her,” she warns.
“I think I flew, Bob,” says Kudzoo as we weave our way through the
wasteland that was Gorilla World.
“Yeah, me too,” I say. “It’s that kinda day.”
