Would she figure it out?
She moved her hand again, and I adjusted the placement of the bugs. From the way she picked up speed, I could tell she was taking my directions. The bugs would serve her as a compass.
Sweet.
She wasn’t running as fast as she might, otherwise, but she seemed willing to trust that I wouldn’t direct her straight into a wall.
Right now, trusting Skitter is pretty much all she can do.
That left the problem of Siberian and whether she would come after us when she lost Amy’s trail.
Ah yes. That might be a slight issue.
“Let’s go,” I spoke. “Let’s check the twelve o’clock position from Siberian to see if we can’t find her creator further on. Loop around.”
Seems like as good a direction to go as any.
Grue and Tattletale kicked the dogs into action.
I judged that Amy and Siberian were far enough apart, now. I used my bugs to direct her to a door that was ajar, leading her into a small shopping mall.
now why would you make her hide inside a jar, that’s obviously gonna be way too small
I tapped hard on Grue’s shoulder, and the darkness immediately around us began to fade. I asked, “You can tell where Amy is?”
Oh! I just realized how they’ll be able to fix Amy’s hand. It’s pretty obvious in retrospect, but I needed this reminder of Grue being able to use his new power on her to realize it: He can borrow a fraction of her power and use it on her.
Unless the power just doesn’t let anyone use it on her rather than not letting them use it on whoever is casting it, but that seems unlikely.
