Tom Pov:

I shake Tord to get up. "Tord get up!" I say.

"5 more minutes..." Tord groans.

"Tord this isn't nap time now get your ass up, we're here,"

Tord quickly sits up at my last 2 words.

We're in a forest that has a calming aura.

We both stand up and dust ourselves off. "Okay where do you think they would head to?" I ask.

"No idea, let's just go forward and figure it out from there," Tord says.

"Alright,"

Tord walks forward and I follow behind.

"We have to be careful, there's probably a completely different species here," Tord says.

"Well maybe not completely," I say.

"What do you mean?"

"You said the Dimensional Teleporter sent them somewhere they'd be safe. Which means the species here has to be somewhat like a human like they are,"

"Well, I guess that's true,"

We make it to the edge of a cliff like hill. We see a town far away from us. "Maybe they're there," Tord says.

"Well even if they are, we can't fly down a hill," I say.

"Wellll,"

"Tord,"

"I may have brought something that can help us," Tord smirks.

"Just show it already Tord, we don't have any more time to waste,"

Tord struggles, but pulls a whole jetpack out of his hoodie pocket.

"I'm not even going to ask why you brought that,"

He quickly puts it on and he picks me up.

We fly down the cliff quickly.

We don't exactly make a graceful landing. We both tumble on to the floor and Tord's jetpack flies away.

"Aw man, that was my favorite jetpack," Tord says.

"Stop mourning and let's go," I say and start walking.

"Geez someone's grumpy today,"

"I'm just tired Tord,"

"Well I'm not happy that you're grumpy,"

I stop.

He's been doing this ever since I said I only want him happy. When ever he isn't satisfied about something he pulls the 'I'm not happy' card. He does this for attention, I can tell. I'm starting to reach my limit for my promise to Pat.

In all honestly it's not just sleep that's gotten me grumpy. I got really upset these past days for the kid's disappearance that I drank a lot. I have a bad hang over right now and I'm tired so it's really hard for me to tolerate Tord.

I want to just scream at him, but I know I need to keep my promise.

I take a shaky breath.

I turn around and try my best to put on a calm smile, even though it's completely fake.

"How can I make you happy then Tord?" I ask.

"Be nice to me and hold my hand," Tord says.

I take his hand. "I'm sorry for being grumpy, now can we please look for my Son and Max now?" I ask.
