Chapter Seventeen

Breaker:

“I don’t know what the fuck you even think you’re going to see,” Judas said as we wandered along the dirt pathway into the strange little town. I was using my phone as a flashlight, shining it out in front of our feet. He was right. I had no idea what I was looking for. I didn’t know what house she lived in, and even if I did, it’s not like I could just walk right in and make myself comfortable. A dog barked in the distance and I stopped in my tracks. We didn’t need to wake the whole neighborhood.

“You’re right,” I said. I knew I wasn’t going to see anything, but I was still holding on to hope that maybe she was still coming. Maybe she was wandering down this same path. “Five more minutes and we’ll turn around.”

My phone started ringing, and I hurried to silence it. It was Rosey. “What’s up brother?” I asked as softly as I could.

“I don’t know,” he mumbled. “I don’t know.” He was panicking. I’d know that tone coming out of him anywhere. Not the first time I heard him freaking out “You gotta get here.”

“Where?” I asked, grabbing Judas by the arm and sprinting towards the road.

“Wake up!” he was shouting. “Come on, girl. Wake up!”

“For fucks’ sake Rosey, where are you?” I shouted.

“About a mile from the clubhouse. Hurry up, I don’t know what to do!” he said. My heart sunk into my stomach, adrenaline pumping through my bloodstream. He didn’t have to tell me what was going on. I already knew exactly what was happening by the way he was shouting.

“What’s going on?” Judas muttered.

I jumped into the truck and drove faster than I’d ever driven in my entire life. Maybe I was just being crazy. I could only hope I was being overly paranoid. I tossed my phone to Judas, letting him take over. I tried to black out the words coming out of his mouth, the way he was talking Rosey through CPR.

We got to the scene in record time, and I barely put the truck in park before I sprung out onto the road. My worst fear was coming true. Sprawled out on the pavement was Hannah’s unmoving body, laid out like this was her funeral wake in her ugly gray dress.

“What the fuck?” I screamed. Rosey was hunched over her body, his bike laid on its side. “What the fuck did you do?”

I dropped down to her side, stroking her face. Her breath was shallow, but it was there. I pushed him out of the way, feeling for her pulse. She looked like a doll, her skin unnaturally white like plastic, cold and clammy, her eyes squinted tight.

“I didn’t do shit,” he said. “I was just driving down the road and she was laying in the middle of it. Had to veer so I wouldn’t hit her.”

“She breathing?” Judas asked.

“Barely,” I said. Her face was caked in what looked like make-up, black smudges all around her eyes.
