Invisible Magic Part 5: The Words of the Native American Chief
Tom was going through his dad's old paperwork box that no one actually read; the box had “confidential no one needs to know; unless that day has arrived, we all know what to expect and if you need clues open this box” written on the side. Tom thought "well that day has arrived," so he had to open it to find clues.

He was going back to a place he'd hoped he would never see again; it was just him, the man, Oliver Wishingwell, and one of the boys. He couldn't work out which one it was as his face was changing every minute into another one of the Kennedys; that's when the observer knew who it was: it was Duncan.

The tiny flower ship on 902 Brady Street was the pride and joy of the town. It was small and quaint, the kind of town that had one library and one college and one coffeeshop. One of everything. Houses older than some of the trees were.
