Chapter 21 Summary: “More Than They Have”

James drives Scoob to a hotel so he can get some rest. The RV has been impounded. Scoob asks if G’ma is going to be okay. Hesitantly, James explains that G’ma was diagnosed with cancer six months ago and that she didn’t want treatment. It’s been spreading quickly, and Scoob is surprised since she seemed okay.

When Scoob asks if she’s going to die, he’s surprised to see his father become emotional. Finally, James says, “Eventually,” explaining that once she gets back to Atlanta, she’ll stay with them. They’re able to drive the RV back, and a nurse comes with them. G’ma sleeps for most of the journey.

During one stop while G’ma is using a bathroom outside of the RV, James talks to Scoob, who he exclusively calls William. He explains that he doesn’t always do well speaking about his feelings, but he loves Scoob more than anything. He wants to be better about not being so hard on him and admits that the three days he hadn’t been able to be in touch with Scoob had been the worst of his life. Scoob reveals that he saw the Amber Alert and asks about the thefts. James doesn’t have much information about it, mentioning that there is a video.
