The next morning, we stopped on the north end of Sheridan at a travel plaza for fuel. Mindy went inside looking for anything to eat.

Food was getting very scarce. She came back out holding some dry cereal boxes that had already been opened. Only a few crumbs were left in the bottoms of the bags inside. The dates on the packages were coming up to their due dates, too. The food tasted stale.

I swallowed 2 more of the Tylenols with our light breakfast.

“We’re going to have to find a different source of food soon,” I told Mindy as I finished siphoning some gas out of a nearby car.

“And some coats,” she added.

“Yeah it’s getting pretty chilly…”

We heard something. There was a low rumble. As it grew louder, we realized it was the sound of approaching motorcycles.

“Get down!” I told Mindy.

We both hunkered down behind the car I had been siphoning fuel from. We looked both directions up and down the highway.

The sound was coming from the north. Coming down the highway we saw three motorcycles. The first one was driven by Mason! He didn’t have a shirt on! I laughed out loud. The second was driven by a red head. Right behind her was Vera on her own motorcycle.

“Hurry!” I said. I quickly popped the fuel lid closed on our motorcycle. Mindy hopped onto the back of the bike and we were off.

It didn’t take long for us to catch up with them. I started beeping my horn as we got closer.

We all pulled to the side of the road.

Mindy got off. She ran over to Mason. She gave him a hug.

I went over to Vera and gave her a hug, too. She smiled genuinely.

Mason shook my hand. “How ya doing, son? It’s good to see you.”

“Good to see you guys too,” I said.

“Dan, Mindy, I want you to meet Rachel Manning. She joined us in Missoula.”

She said “Hello.” She had a pleasant warm voice. Her hair was very long, red, and curly. Her eyes were an odd color green. They were yellow near the pupils. She was wearing light makeup with dark red lipstick.

“Hi, I’m Dan,” I said. “This is my girlfriend, Mindy.”

Mindy shook her hand. “Hi.”

Mason asked “How was Denver?”

I shook my head. “Not good. We’re actually on the run.”

“Oh? What’s after ya?”

“We’re not sure exactly. Hopefully no one, but we’re not taking any chances.”

“Let’s turn around then. We’re about 120 miles south of Billings. How ya doing on fuel?”

“Just filled up.”

“Ah, we did too about an hour ago.” He looked at Vera and Rachel. “Ladies, let’s head back north.” He looked at me again. “When we get to Billings, let’s stop there and we can talk.”

“Sounds great, Mason.”

We went back north.
