I laughed at Amber's statement. She sounded so serious when she said that she was going after Brad's killer. But after a few seconds, my laughter faded. Her facial expression was still serious.

"Are you serious?" I asked, just to be sure.

She nodded.

I swallowed. "Amber, I'm not sure how possible that is. We don't know who they are, where they went, what they look like... We don't even know their gender."

"We know that they're a skilled archer that wears a black coat, and went east."

"You saw their coat?"

She nodded again.

"Fine. But there are plenty of people that are archers. And wear black coats."

"Not as good as that. The black coat is just a way to narrow it down slightly. Better than nothing."

"Okay... But what about where they went? East isn't exactly a good start."

"It is if it's the direction of a large city." She grinned. "Marstamian."

"Mar-stah-mee-in?" I sounded out the word she said.

"Marstamian. City of Redstone. Everyone goes there to check out the amazing inventions there, even murderers. Plus it's basically the grand central station for transportation. If I were an assassin on the run, I'd try to get away from the witnesses as soon as possible."

I ran my hand down my face in frustration and thought. "Assume this guy does go there. You'd just search the whole dang city for one guy? What if he leaves already?"

"I'd have to be resourceful." She sat up straighter. Her eyes were red from crying, but that was the only hint from her face that she felt any emotion.

"Amber..." I didn't want to tell her it couldn't be done. It actually could be, but with a very, very, very low chance of success.

"You don't have to come." She told me. "I'm not asking you to. But I have to do this. I have to bring justice to this villain."

I sat there, staring at the mountainside. Finally, my mouth moved: "Then I guess you shouldn't do it alone."

"Really?" Her face lit up.

"Really really. When are we leaving?"

Amber smiled. "Thank you, Sky. We should leave as soon as possible."

"It's afternoon, and we shouldn't travel at night. We can leave tomorrow morning."

She looked away. "I just hope Cameron would be okay with us going."

"He's a cool guy," I said, "he'll let us."

"No."

"What?" Amber and I asked at the same time.

"No. N-O. Means not any, and is used to give a negative response. No."

"Why not?" We both said again, which made us look at each other.

"We need to stop doing that." Amber told me.
