Watching the third round from the player’s box in the stadium seats was fun—or at least it would have been, if Jumper wasn’t so apprehensive about playing in the semi-finals. He scolded himself for being nervous. That could easily throw him off his game. He needed to get it together. But he was so close now. So very close. Only needed to win the next game to make the finals.
Being the only Earthling at the event was something of a letdown. Alan and Kayla should be here. Uncle Brandon, too—although Jumper knew Brandon probably wouldn’t sit for this. But there were no other humans in the stadium. It didn’t feel right. They weren’t that far away, either, with the Earth colony only a few hours’ drive away. Jumper wished he had sent word to some of his other friends to come out and watch him.
