As we ran down the hillside, Jonah gave me driving directions: south and downhill, as fast as you can. After that, follow my nose. We crouched outside another garage, near a ramshackle farmhouse—one with lights on, and people still inside. Three trucks were parked outside.

“Which one?” I whispered.

“Red one, closest,” Jonah whispered back.

Wyatt caught my arm before I could run for it. “I’ll go in and make a distraction.”

“You smell like her,” said Holt.

“We all smell like her,” said Jonah.

“Bigger distraction then,” said Wyatt, with a grin. He ran into the garage we were hiding behind. I heard an engine kick over—and then a dirtbike race out. He parked himself in front of the farmhouse, spinning in a tight circle, revving his engine loudly, howling, “Night ride!”

Jonah grunted, and looked to the other men. “Go get on bikes—now!”

They funneled away into the garage, as men inside the farmhouse poured out, with shouts. Between the exhaust fumes and general confusion, it was perfect, and soon Wyatt had led the majority of the stationed pack away. I listened to the sound of dirt bikes receding in the distance, and Jonah stood.

“Anyone still inside is too drunk to care—you’re safe.”

It was hard to believe. “And you’re letting me go.”

“Till full moon, when you swore you’d be back here.”

I nodded. But that’d give the others a whole two days to be upset at my absence. “What’ll happen to you, in the meantime?”

“I’ll tell the others that you swore.” He shrugged one shoulder. Underneath the waxing moonlight I could see his face tense in concentration. More weighed on him than just my problems.

“And about Wade?”

“The ones that’re ready to hear it, yeah.”

There was something about him, so transparent and earnest, I felt like I had to tell him the whole truth. “It’s my fault that Gray’s in prison. My best friend and I—we were with him, and his baby killed her. When I went to the Farm to tell him, I found another girl’s body, and reported it to the police.”

“You were still human then. That was a human thing to do.” He dark eyes flickered over to me. “And besides, he brought that on himself.”

I had a sudden, unbidden urge to lick his lips in solidarity. Where the hell did that come from? “Thank you.”

He nodded. “Go.”
