  Chapter Six

  “They’ve all been boys.”

  “There was one girl.”

  “She only went because of the boy.”

  “She still went.” He rolled his eyes. She ignored them. They could argue all they wanted. She was more interested in the kids. She watched them with curiosity.

  “How did my little Kat do?”

  “Beautifully.” She turned around and saw a man with eyes smiling at her. “Here are those files of the kids you wanted.” He walked over and handed them to her. He kissed her lightly on the cheek and then looked at the kids. “How’re they doing?”

  “Not bad. The first kid to get up and walk through a door, walked through the unknown door.”

  “Really.”

  “Yeah. Then a boy and girl walked through the Intellect door together. And another boy walked through the Humor door.”

  “Hmm…” She flipped through the files until she came to the first boy’s file.

  “Lantz Eppeley. Thirteen. Neither parent is alive. His uncle raised him for a few years. His mom was an Oceain, but got into a really bad accident. Sad history, really. Strong boy, though.”

  “Too strong.” She and the man next to her turned around and looked at the cloaked stranger.

  “Don’t be so paranoid.”

  “He has anger in him. It could be dangerous.”

  “We’ll teach him control.”

  “I still say he’s too strong for a newfangling.”

  “Speak for yourself. You’re pretty strong and don’t deny it. You know you are.” The man got quiet and just watched the others as they discussed the kids.

  “The second boy’s name is Lake. Lake Rusnak. Both parents are one fourth Oceain. Nice background. Sounds like a nice kid. Had straight A’s his whole life. Pretty smart.”

  “And the girl?”

  “Tashina Cole. Part Native American. Part Oceain. Her mother wanted her to learn about her Oceain heritage after her father went into a coma. Just so happens that Lake and Tashina grew up together.”

  “Where?”

  “Nevada.”

  “And the last boy?”

  “Lathan Woolridge. Tough kid. Funny too. He’s bright, but loves to fool around. Sounds like a good kid. Top marks at his school. Only complaint I heard about him was that he daydreams too much.”

  “That’s not a bad thing.”

  “No.”

  “Hey. Looks like a girl is gonna make a bold move now.” They all turned and looked back at the kids.
