Aftershocks: Orion, Emma and Henry
"It’s all I can do right now. We know better than to just go diving into a portal, especially when we have no idea what’s waiting for us on the other side. If…that’s even possible." Emma hoped that wherever Graham had ended up…it wasn’t some kind of hell world with torture…and fire..and…no, this isn’t helping. She continued to turn the pages quickly, scanning for anything that looked like the word “portal" or “vortex" or “other world." “I can’t find anything that describes what that thing is." She sounded exasperated. “Henry, don’t go too far…" She turned to look at her son with worry filled eyes. “Maybe we should try throwing something into it…and see what happens?" Emma asked Orion, running out of ideas.
"I don’t think anyone sure of mind would go and jump in a portal if they didn’t know where it led, well at least I wouldn’t." Orion took to looking through some of the crocodile’s books for anything but like Emma, he had no luck in finding anything to do with a portal. Letting out sigh and shutting the books he listened to the sheriff’s solution. As much as he could criticize he knew she did have a better idea about what was going on. “I like that idea but what should be throw in? Maybe something that we could communicate with?"
Henry didn;t wander too far and made sure to keep where his mother could see him. Even though he had been in the shop before he had never had much time to look around on his own. Slowly he weaved in and out of the items closely examining each wondering who the items linked with. Hearing some excitement in the two other voices he went back over and joined them, just catching the last bit of news. "We're going to that portal?" he asked confused.
