"There must be some way to bring him back. You said I could find him. What do I do?" "Nothing," he said. "You do nothing about your father, unless we request it. UNICORNE will continue the search for now." So why was I even in the car? "I need to know where he is, Mr. Klimt. You have to let me help you. You have to. Please." "And how do you propose I go about this?" "Do tests. Whatever. Like you did with Dad. Let me be a part of your organization. Make me a member of UNICORNE." He looked down into his lap and smiled. "You would be a boy in an unsafe world. You have no idea what dangers could await you." "I don't care. I'll do anything to get Dad home. Let me prove myself to you. Give me a job. There must be something I can do." The car rolled to a halt. "Please, Mr. Klimt." His eyes looked up to a gap in the screen a signal to the driver not to open the door yet. "Very well," he said. "I will give you a task. But there are rules, Michael. Serious rules. If you break them you will put yourself in jeopardy, and all chance of finding your father will be gone. There are people out there, other organizations, who would stop at nothing to access your abilities. This episode with the dog will not have gone unnoticed." I gulped and gave a quick nod. "Rule number one. You do not speak about UNICORNE to anyone, not even to your family, and certainly not to your friends. Anything you find, you share only with me, Chantelle, or Mulrooney. Do I have your word on this?" "Yes. Where do I start?" "Find out about the dog." Praise for the Last Dragon Chronicles"Chris d'Lacey's writing is sometimes exciting and sometimes silly.
