The Hubby Hold (IQ Testing Book 2) (21 page)

I scan the room then spot them.

Java cries inside Hatch’s chest. She wipes her tears then cries, again, hugging his chest. She doesn’t want to live and work in Dandine. She doesn’t understand her color status and how she ended up, here, in Dookie Town. She was having fun inside the same park place, then it all ended. Then she was zoomed back into the Cubby Hole, wearing the yellow cat suit, clashing with her red high heel sandals.

Hatch hugs her, whispering into her face.

I say. “We should go over and say something.”

Buffo studies Java and Hatch, shaking his skull. “I don’t think so. They didn’t look happy. They didn’t look social, either. I don’t know what to say to them. And, I just don’t understand. They were explained the strict rules of the Cubby Hole from their BPs, too. They knew better, also, at the end of Citizenship Day, whatever color you wear, represents your permanent citizenship. I just don’t understand.” He hugs then drags Ketona towards the girl’s locker. “We need to leave and start our new live. We can’t help Java and Hatch, either. They picked their destiny.” He hugs her, walking. “And, you made my destiny, honey. I love you, Ketona.”

I smile and say, cuddling him. “I love you, Buffo.”

Buffo smiles and stops near the opening of the girl’s locker room, turning to her smile. “I’ll see ya on the other side,” he chuckles. “I mean the outside on the lawn. We say one more goodbye to our…my parents then load onto the transport for our new adventure, our new life and our new home.”

I nod and smile. “Yeah, I exit the Cubby Hole then enter the Hubby Hold.”

Buffo chuckles then hugs Ketona.

They kiss.

The Wally Hole…is the final e-novel of the trilogy.
