Withdrawing his gaze from the drone, Jared Oliveira asked, "Where's the drone?"
Tipping his head back to look at the sky, Frank Ford pointed in a direction. "Isn't it right there?" As he spoke, he added, "Aren't you guys the ones playing with it?"
Hearing that, the three of them went out together.
They looked up at the sky above the village, and sure enough, they saw a drone circling overhead, turning round and round.
At the same time, something bizarre happened—
It was clearly about to fly toward them, but halfway over, it suddenly changed direction and flew off.
Nora Scott glanced in that direction and narrowed her eyes.
That was where Baja's place was.
Baja's house was easy to recognize.
The villagers were all afraid of getting lost, so they clustered together. Only Baja lived in a remote spot, almost away from everyone else.
In that direction, his was the only house.
"Isn't that…" April Thomason saw it too and gave Nora a meaningful look.
