“What is it?” Dominick asked as he squinted out of the window while trying to keep the truck on the road at the same time. He’d look back at the road to straighten the truck and then turn again towards the movement inside the trees.

It seemed like they were following us. Were they waving at us? I wasn’t sure, but whatever, or rather whoever it was, didn’t look like they were from HOME. If they were, they probably would have been shooting at us.

“It’s Dez!” Dominick said as he hit the window with his palm and jerked the truck to a stop. His excitement quickly faded, “Where’s Mack?”

“Oh my…,” I said, my voice shaking when I saw them. I couldn’t believe it. My hands were on my face, and my eyes were filling with tears. Dean and Penn were both following behind Dezzie through the trees. They both looked fine. Nothing had happened to them.

I heard Sienna suck in air and sniff, so I was sure she had seen them too. She put her head down against my shoulder. I blinked several times as if I wanted to make sure it was really them. Dominick slowed the truck and all three of them looked relieved. Once they got closer their expressions changed into one that looked both upset and anxious. We weren’t safe. The HOME army was still too close.

“Where’s Mack?” Dominick said looking at Dezzie. I could tell by his voice he was already expecting to hear bad news. Dezzie looked down at the ground and shook his head. I wasn’t sure if that meant he knew Mack was gone or if it just meant that he hadn’t known what happened to him.

Dominick shifted the truck into drive and I was instantly worried that he was going to totally freak out while driving. I thought he was going to just drive off leaving Dezzie, Penn and Dean behind as a way to punish everyone for what had maybe happened to Mack.

But he didn’t drive off leaving them behind. The second the three of them were in the back of the truck Dominick drove away, leaving the burning camp behind.

The time on the radio clock was most certainly wrong, but more than an hour had gone by before Dominick pulled the truck over. He slammed it into park and got out without saying anything. Before his feet even touched the ground his gun was in his hand. He leaned forward into the side of the truck and started talking to Dezzie.

“Where is he? What happened?” Dominick said, but I didn’t bother to turn around and look at them. If I did, I would see Dean and I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on their conversation.

“I don’t know… I’m not sure if he got out. I’m sorry, Dominick. We just happened to be in the wood checking the berry patch when it all happened,” Dezzie said sounding as if he was just simply reporting the facts. There had been little emotion behind his words.
