Chapter 20

The old trail finally started to widen in front of the Jeep. Ahead, through the trees, the passengers could see the small town of Bonanza Creek. Harrison checked his rear-view mirror and saw the Xterra right behind them. He was momentarily tempted to bolt for it, to drive straight through town and onward toward 160, but he couldn’t leave his sister – or his friends, for that matter – behind. Besides which, he just wasn’t getting that kind of vibe from Derek and his group. Maybe it was foolish, but he felt that things were going to turn out okay for them.

He turned his head to say, “All right everyone…” As he did, there was a quick movement from the backseat, just on the fringe of his periphery. He turned all the way to find Paula and Phil sitting in their respective seats, seemingly minding their own business.

“You guys okay back there?” he asked. It was an honest question. They had both been quiet for the trip back, and he was worried about them. Even so, mixed in with the worry was also a bit of curiosity regarding what he thought he had just glimpsed.

“We’re fine!” Paula said, a little sharply. She seemed to realize this and toned her voice down. “I’m just glad to be out of those God-awful woods. I am never so much as even stepping into my own backyard ever again.”

“Don’t worry, same here. It’s gonna be a while before I even consider a picnic at the park,” he joked back. “What about you, Allie?”

Phil raised a quick eyebrow, but Harrison didn’t notice.

“I’m not sure. I mean, I practically grew up in a tent,” she replied. “Although I’m definitely gonna rethink my stance on a few things, guns being first on the list.”

“I know what you mean,” Harrison said. “I might have to ask that Jenner guy for a few lessons with the cannon he had strapped to his side. Speaking of which, let’s play this next part cool. I don’t get the feeling that these guys are going to give us too much trouble. If we cooperate and don’t give them any shit in return, I’m hoping we’ll be in the free and clear.”

He pulled to the side and waved the Xterra past. Mitchell was going to direct Danni where to go. Once they had parked, Harrison would pull in alongside them.

“What then?” Allison asked.

“What do you mean?”

“Camping is over. I get that, trust me. But we still have the rest of the week free,” she pointed out.

“No idea,” he replied truthfully. “I haven’t thought that far ahead yet.”

“Well, maybe we should discuss it,” she replied with a smile.

In the backseat, Paula turned ever so slightly toward Phil and rolled her eyes.

“Where to?” Danni asked, pulling ahead of her brother’s Jeep.

“Drive down the main street,” replied Mitchell. “Park next to our vehicles. You can’t miss them.”

“Black with D.C. plates?”

“You got it,” he said. Just then, the vehicle shuddered. “Whoa! What was that?”

“I don’t know,” she replied.
