Danny whipped his convertible into the look-out point and stared down at Robot Palace glowing in the night.
Candy was down there.
At last, he knew where she was.
She was okay.
She wasn’t dead.
In fact, she was more gorgeous than he remembered. Seeing her had reignited every spark and fire he’d hoped was still there. Her eyes, so green and full of candle light, were emblazoned in his mind.
And yet. . . .
She chose to stay, refused to leave with him. He’d hoped their reunion would be mutual and unanimous.
All those nights at home, doing everything possible not to think about Candy. . . .
All those nights scouring the city, cruising the streets, in places where outsiders weren’t welcomed. . . .
In every fantasy Danny had envisioned of being reunited with Candy, they’d gone to each other at full velocity. Their bodies crushed together, wrapped in each other’s arms, while scared and hungry lips kissed hard and desperate kisses full of longing, daring to hope that the separation had ended, that the wait was over, and they were together again, now and forever.
And yet. . . .
Candy had chosen to remain at Robot Palace. With Zammy, Bernard, Atom, Blendo, Rony, Bella, Rukara, and Poo. One big happy family, just as Zammy said.
A family in which Danny, it seemed, was not welcome.
He would just see about that.
He lost Candy once. Now, she was found. He’d be damned if he was going to lose her again.
Danny stomped on the accelerator, and his car fishtailed in the dirt. The tires screeched as they grabbed onto Mulholland Drive, rocketing him toward home.
Already the calculations were unfolding in his mind, a plan taking shape.
He had some calls to make.
