“Agreed,” Iggy said. “But I decide what we study. You’re not ready for all of it yet.”
“Agreed,” Alex said.
Iggy stuck out his hand and Alex shook it.
“I’m as hungry as a wolf,” he said, clearly feeling better than he had in days. “Let’s go get something to eat.”
Alex put the screen in front of the fire while Iggy changed back into his suit jacket. He didn’t feel any different, but he knew the ground had changed under his feet. The hat Iggy had loaned him hung on a peg in the hallway, and he slipped it on over his white hair before stepping outside onto the stoop. In the distance, Empire Tower reached up to the sky, glowing with the energy it contained. Occasionally a bolt of lightning would reach down from above and strike the spire on top.
“Ready?” Iggy asked, stepping out beside him.
Alex nodded, turning the brim down on the hat before following the old man to the sidewalk.
“After dinner we’ll look at the Monog—”
“We should probably call it the Textbook when we’re out in public,” Alex said.
“Good point. Well, when we get back, there are a few interesting things I want to show you in the Textbook.”
Iggy’s old enthusiasm seemed to be back, and Alex grinned as they made their way to The Lunch Box. He didn’t know how much of his life he had left, but he had a feeling none of it would be boring.
