“Think Zaia… think…” I mutter as I feel under the floorboards once again.

I need it, not only to track the Sable but to find Dad. Those I have sent out to search for him have so far found nothing, as I feared.

little I can do.

I just hope no one realises someone’s been here, or that I may have found the Moon Dust; I don’t want them to know that either.

Once everything is put back to the best of my capabilities, I leave the way I entered, through the back. Pausing in the door, I look at the house Mom lived in. She didn’t like Sebastian, yet she came here, to this pack for me.
