Chapter Twelve

“Five minutes,” Chase shouted as he drove down the highway at one hundred and ten miles per hour. “Dax, help me find the paper I wrote the directions on. I can’t remember the name of the road we turn on last.”

Dax, now in the front seat as Lucas had elected to sit with Sherri, rifled through the junk piled up between them. He sped by exit after exit, with none ringing any bells in his head that it was the exit they needed. Dax finally handed Chase a piece of paper. As he tried to drive and read it, he couldn’t decipher his own handwriting.

“Shit, I can’t read it,” he grumbled.

“Give it here,” he heard Jayda shout form the back. “I was always better at reading your handwriting than you were,”

Chase handed the paper to Dax to hand back. He was just relieved to hear Jayda say anything. She’d been far too silent back there for a pregnant woman who’d just seen her zombie husband shot. An unnerving quiet, in fact.

“The exit should be coming up soon if I’m reading the numbers right. Sure, once we start reading signs, one will make this chicken scratch make sense,” Jayda said.

“Sorry, I was in a rush when I wrote it. Thought I would remember it. I’ve been here before,” Chase stated, trying hard to keep the tremor out of his voice.

With squealing tires, they made the off-ramp and turned onto a main drag through the small town. At Jayda’s insistence, he turned a few roads later. Nothing on it looked familiar, and he grew more frustrated and impatient as they went.

Finally, he turned in a driveway, and double-timed it back to the main drag. Jayda protested from the back, insisting she was right, he just didn’t give it enough time, but he just drove on.

“Hold on,” he yelled as he turned the car down a dirt road. “I recognize this.”

Dirt came up all around the van as Chase straightened the tires. For a second there he could make out nothing in the tan cloud he’d created. Soon, they flew past one old farm house, a bit of fields and then some trees. Finally, the tree line to the side of them gave way to an open expanse of land with a pond at the end.

“We’re here,” Chase exclaimed as he pulled up by the pond and came to an abrupt stop.

Everyone jumped out fast. The cold sweat on Chase’s neck caught the warm breeze.

“It’s beautiful,” Sherri exclaimed.

“There’s no one here,” Dax muttered.

“This is the place,” Chase sighed.

“You sure you got it right?” Dax asked.

“Yes,” Chase said even as he went through the conversation in his head. “This was the time and the place. He’ll be here. There are a million reasons a guy like him could be running a little late.”

“Let’ just take a breath and enjoy this view. It’s gorgeous, undisturbed, and silent. Not a sight of a zombie,” Sherri sighed.

“Think it through,” Dax spat. “You sure you didn’t get something wrong? You owe me man.
