Chapter 5

“There was no guarantee that he’d be a lawyer in this dimension. That’s all.”

“I guess I got lucky then. But it’s not going to be a problem, is it? I still don’t understand how all this dimensional stuff works.”

“It’s not going to be a problem at all. In fact, David is probably the only thing we’ve got going for us. It’ll be helpful to have somebody to touch base with in London. If he saw Jonah as recently as two weeks ago, he might be able to give over some information.”

Derek let out a long, relieved breath. “Good. I’ll e-mail you all the contact information I have for him and let him know he can talk to you and Gideon about Jonah’s case. I don’t know the particulars, though I wish I’d been a little bit nosier about what was going on over there.”

“No, don’t start blaming yourself. Your plate is too full as it is, and Jonah is an adult. You shouldn’t have to worry about babysitting him, on top of doing your actual job.”
