An hour later, after an almost disappointingly easy time with Mr. Loomis—he passed out in his living room and barely moved as I tied him up—we’re back on the road.

Except now we have a little house on wheels.

Turns out the back of the van has been gutted, and the seats replaced with a kitchenette and bunk beds. Everything’s at least thirty years old and smells of mold, but it’s functional and a little cleaning should go a long way.

We grabbed cleaning products at the Loomis house, too, as well as more food, a couple hundred dollars cash, and sleeping bags we found in the garage. Now, all we need is a sheltered place to hide out during the daylight hours. I swapped the license plate on the van with the Oldsmobile we left in Loomis’s garage, but it’s still best if we’re careful.

We haven’t run across anyone looking to kill us for the past seven or eight hours and I’d like to keep it that way.

“There’s a KOA campground in about sixty miles,” Juliet says, squinting at the road atlas we found in the glove compartment. She sits back, rubbing at the tops of her eyes. “Assuming it’s still open. We need a cell phone or some way to get online.”

“We’ll get one tomorrow,” I say. “We have extra money now, but not enough to pay for campground fees all the way across country. We should try to find a place where we can park for free.”

“Doug’s Bargain Basement lets people camp for free in their parking lots. But on the off chance someone goes looking for Bad Dad and sets him free, cops could be looking for a brown van with yellow stripes by this afternoon.”

“And we’re more likely to run into bounty hunters in populated areas,” I agree. “We just need an abandoned field or something. But an abandoned field with other things nearby to mask our scent. Like livestock or maybe a factory of some kind.”

Juliet hums beneath her breath. “That gives me an idea. Not a pleasant idea, but…” She lifts the atlas from her lap, skimming her finger over the page until she finds what she’s looking for and holds it out toward me. “There’s a landfill not far to the south. It’s huge, so we should be able to find a place to park out of the way, where no one’s watching. And not even another shifter will be able to smell us over the trash.”

I glance down at the place on map. “And it’s not too far off the highway. Let’s do it.” She settles back into her chair, and I add, “Good idea.”

“Thanks. I have good ideas. But…ditching you at the motel probably wasn’t one of them.” She glances over, adding in a grudging voice, “Recent events have reminded me it can be good to have someone around to watch your back.”

“Especially when people are trying to kill you.”

“Yes, but that doesn’t mean I’m sold on the Lost Moon University thing. And I’m absolutely not going to marry you.
