CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Jake continued to yell out for any possible survivors but there was no one around. Larry was a quarter mile up the road and Jake went toward him - the idea of splitting up made the hair on the back of his neck raise. This was more than just a plane crash with no rescue effort headed their way. It was eerie and silent. Everything was deserted – the absence of people was a good indication that something big was happening.

“See anyone?” Jake asked, approaching Larry.

“Nothing. I can see a few campgrounds from here but there’s no one around. Isn’t this usually a busy time for campers around here?”

Jake shrugged and took a deep breath. “I don’t know. I’d assume so with it being springtime.” Glancing over his shoulder, he tried to come up with a plan. The best thing to do was continue to the nearest town. The chances of running into someone there would be better, though he feared that they might not like who they came across, especially if one of his theories came true.

“Do you wanna go back to the crash site?” Larry asked as he wiped his brow.

“No.” Jake shook his head and looked over the edge of the cliff, down to where there were several picnic tables. A few tents were set up and there was a camper nearby. “I’d say let’s go down there and see what we come across but I think it’s best to get to town. Stick to the original plan. Maybe when we get there, we’ll have a better idea of what’s going on.”

“I agree. We need to find the police department. If there’s some mass murderer going around, this is the last place we need to be right now,” Larry said, taking a step away from the ledge.

Jake didn’t say anything, though his hiking buddy was right. The uncertainty tied his stomach up in knots. There were too many questions and not enough answers. And now that there were people missing, Jake wished he had better protection in case they were attacked. A gun, knife, anything that would give them a fighting chance against whoever… or whatever might be out there.

They reached a sign that indicated that Jones Creek was three miles away. Jake had flown this route many times but being on the ground was a whole new perspective. According to the abandoned truck they had run across, they were in Colorado… that was if they truck wasn’t from out of state. He had never heard of Jones Creek before so he couldn’t guess what state and with the landscape around them it could very well be Colorado or Utah. He considered how long they had been in the air, which wasn’t long. The flight time from Dallas to Seattle was almost four hours on average. Colorado was probably a safe bet.

“Do you think this is terrorism?” Larry broke the silence, glancing at Jake and back to the ground. It caught Jake off guard but it was something that he had thought about from the moment the plane had gone down.
