Leg of the JourneyOctober 18thDamon, NY Mick’s arms held tight to both Chris and Tigger. He didn’t want to let go, but at least this time before he left, he was more than positive that they were safe. He kissed them both and stood. “Okay, go to school. I’ll be back before you go to sleep.”“Be careful out there, Mick,” Chris said. “It’s bad.”“I think me and Doc will be fine. Besides, I get to blow something up and you know how cool that is.”Chris smiled. “You’re the best, Mick. I am so glad you’re the one going to do this. You know why?”“Why?”“Because you’re the only one I trust to do this right. Now, get going and don’t waste time, you have to get your mom.”“I know that.” Another kiss to Chris and Mick lifted Tigger.“Hey!” Tigger squirmed. “I’m not a baby.”“You’ll always be my baby.” Mick gave a quick hug and kiss to Tigger.“Aw, man, Mick,” Chris complained. “Now why’d you have to go and get all mushy like? You better get going before you lose the macho badge after your arm wrestling match with Jonah Briggs.”Doc stepped into the conversation.
