CHAPTER FOUR

September 2nd

The cars and trucks in the field were pulling out when Bear dropped his truck down off the road and into the far end of the field. He very nearly shut off the motor before Cammy's hand fell on his own and stopped him.

“You trust too easy, Bear,” she told him.

He sighed and then nodded. Maybe he did, he told himself. But could you live on the edge all the time? Never able to let your guard down? He laughed. The truth was, now that he forced himself to think about it, that he had always lived that way. He never let his guard down. This was just a case of tired, or stupid, or both mixed together.

“What could you possibly find funny about that, Bear?” Cammy asked him. She was so serious all the time. A perpetual worrier.

“I'm sorry. It wasn't about that.” He debated telling her what it had been about, but the look on her face stopped him. “You're right, Cammy. You're right, and when you're right, you're right.” He looked down the field at the trucks and cars.

There was a slow curve that lead up to the field. He had not known they were here, and they had not heard him coming because the trucks and cars were all running, drowning out the sound of his own motor. They had looked as surprised to see him as he had been to see them.

Bear and Cammy sat looking out at the shocked faces in the trucks and cars at the other end of the field.

Several cars and trucks pulled out anyway, driving past where they sat, eyes sliding over them before they disappeared around the bend.

There were three trucks left in the field. Bear stepped out and walked alone down the field to one of the trucks and the small crowd that stood waiting for him. He held his shotgun in one hand, pointing at the ground, there if he needed it. He stopped in front of the people gathered around the trucks.

“I have never seen a man as big as you that walked that easy,” a young, dark haired girl leaning against the hood of one of the trucks told him. The young guy at the front of the hood turned and looked at her.

“Easy, Iris,” he told her. He turned back to Bear. “Mac,” he said. He nodded at the young woman that had spoken. “Iris.” He turned and pointed at each of the people standing there in turn.

“Beth, Billy, Winston, Dell. There are a couple of kids sleeping in the back of the Suburban. You're pulling in?”

Bear shrugged. “Bear,” he said. “We're heading out from the city... Manhattan. The lady in the truck is Cammy.” He raised one hand, turned and waved it at Cammy. A few seconds later, the truck dropped into drive and Cammy drove down the field. She stopped the truck, opened the door and stepped out.

Beth made the introductions once more. Mac walked to the back of the truck and Billy moved up to talk to Bear and Cammy.
