A Message to Librarians, Camp Counselors, Pediatric ER Nurses, and Anyone Else Who Has Ever Signed a Permission Slip and Immediately Regretted It

Hi. Nick Caden. Teen reporter, amateur detective, and the only person in the history of Old West World who got shot six times on Main Street and lived to write about it.

They were paintballs. I want to be clear about that. It still hurt like someone hitting your leg with a baseball bat. Six times.

Here's how this started. Kat went missing from her boarding school. Uncle Phil asked if I wanted to help find her. My sister Wendy volunteered to come along. I said yes to both, which in hindsight was two decisions too many.

Old West World is an abandoned theme park in the mountains of Georgia. No cell signal. Never is. Happens in every case. Come to think of it, happens on every TV crime show too. A lot. A psychotic robotic wolf. A phantom gunslinger who likes to ask deep philosophical questions while shooting you with a paintball gun. And somewhere in the middle of all that, Wendy — my sister, who once forgot to put jelly on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and called it lunch — turns out to be the most levelheaded person in the theme park.

I'm still processing that.

Here's what I've figured out after four of these investigations: the person most likely to save you is the one you've been underestimating the whole time. In this case, that's Wendy. She argues with me constantly. She has opinions about everything. She shows zero sympathy when I get shot. Six times.

But when it mattered, she showed up. She always shows up.

That's the thing about family. They're not optional. They're not convenient. They're just there, like some phantom shadow you wish would go away. Which is in many ways why I was able to escape with my life — and let a monster walk free.

Phantom Gunslinger. Book 4 in the Caden Chronicles. Some mistakes don't stay buried. Some monsters don't stay dead. And some decisions follow you home long after you think you've outrun them.
