Chapter Thirty-Six

A New Glow

Taylor slowly rolled over, again feeling the pain in her body. Ian was kneeling next to her.

“They’re listening to us, so talk softly. Do you know about the last electrochild?” “What do you mean?” “There were seventeen of us. They found all but two, you and one other.” “Michael,” she said. “His name is Michael. Why?” “There’s a new Glow outside the compound.” “What does he look like?” “He’s small, but the electricity around him is wild. Is he good or bad?” “He’s good.”

Ian nodded. “Let’s hope he stays that way.” “What’s he doing?”

“He’s with three other teenagers. I think they’re trying to find a way in.” “We need to warn him that Hatch knows he’s coming. Can you warn him?” Ian shook his head. “No. I can only see.” Taylor covered her eyes. “I’ve failed him. I’ve failed everyone.” “This isn’t your fault, Taylor. You’re a good person.” “How do you know that?” “Because you’re down here.”
