An hour passed, and nothing happened.
I was tempted to stick around a bit longer, just because I kind of did want something to happen, some obvious threat that I could deal with, but after a perimeter sweep that turned up nothing and double-checking that Lara, Jessica, and Hannah would really be okay for a few hours, Susan and I finally headed out.
It was a nice enough day, at least.
Well, okay, it wasnât actively snowing and the freezing winds had mostly died off.
As we made the trip out of the forest and across the freshly fallen snow, it occurred to me that Susan was angry. She hadnât been earlier in the morning, and at first I thought it was just residual anger or fear from the encounter with Thomas. But as we passed the lake and crested the hill in front of the farm, I began to sense that maybe it was something else.
Approaching the farmstead, I tried to consider how to deal with it.
Iâd asked for this, I supposed. I wanted to be close to Susan, now that Iâd committed to a relationship with her and Lara and I was going to bring them back to Pine Lake with me. I just wish that I was better about stuff like this. In a way, I felt like I could be the poster boy for âguys who missed super obvious signals women try to send themâ.
âAre you doing okay?â I asked as we passed the perimeter and began to head for the first building on the list of places I wanted to search: the barn. The doors were open and it looked empty inside. I imagined that was where they had been storing their vehicle. I had the impression Abigail and Hank were gone by now. There was no smoke coming from the chimney at the farmhouse, at least. I guess weâd find out.
âIâm fine,â she replied in a tone of voice that indicated she obviously was not fine.
âSusanâ¦â
She sighed angrily as we stepped into the barn. âYou didnât tell me about any of this! And now weâve got two more women living with us!â she snapped.
âI...Iâm sorry,â I replied. âI thought we covered this yesterday. I mean, it was a bad situation and we canât just send them packing-â
âYeah I fucking know,â she snapped. âLetâs just search this place. I donât want to talk about it.â And with that, she headed off to the right.
I considered whether or not to try and coax more out of her, because I was positive there was something I was missing, and finally just left it alone for now.
There was a job to be done anyway.
I puzzled over it as we took our time poking through the barn, though it wasnât like there was a whole lot to poke through. A few crates at the back, a pile of old hay, a loft with a rickety ladder that Susan ended up opting to climb because she was so much lighter. We covered the whole space in about twenty minutes and came up with exactly zero useful things.
