Starcrossed (Starcrossed 1) - Page 185

?I think Matt?s right,? Lucas said, his face both surprised and

pleased that Matt had suggested it. ?It?s obviously not good for you.

You should quit.?

Helen was too stunned to respond. She stared at Lucas with her

mouth hanging open until Hector, Cassandra, and Ariadne arrived

and ended the conversation. The girls got in the SUV with Lucas

177/395

and Helen, and Hector took the keys to the Mercedes, saying he

would wait for Jason. Ariadne offered Matt a ride home in her

sweetest voice, but he demurred. Then, after a brief and very quiet

exchange between Lucas and Hector, Lucas got behind the wheel

and drove the three girls to the Delos compound, speeding the

whole way. As they drove, Cassandra climbed into the back and

perched next to Helen with a calm poise that belied her age.

?Did you get a good look at him?? she asked in a level, strangely

adult voice.

?Yes,? Helen answered.

?If I showed you some pictures, would you be able to recognize

him??

?Like, mug shots? No problem,? Helen said positively. ?I?m pretty

sure there aren?t that many guys in the world who look exactly like

a bigger, blonder version of Hector.?

She sensed the mood in the SUV shift.

?Creon,? whispered Cassandra.

?Are you sure?? Lucas asked, his head snapping up look into the

rearview mirror at Cassandra.

?Yes,? she answered with a dreamy look on her face. ?And Uncle

Pallas followed him here from Europe. He?s at home.? Lucas apparently

didn?t need any more information. He fished his cell

phone out of his jeans and hit speed dial.
