HE BOY," ASHER SAID, HIS EYES WIDE AND SHIFTING between Rob at the wall and Juli at the table.

Rob rushed for the door. "Jimmy."

"No," Asher yelled. He jumped up and threw himself between Rob and the door.

Rob stopped short. "Get out of my way, Asher."

Juli was there too, gripping Rob's arm. "This isn't the way, Rob."

Rob spun and returned to the peephole. He could still hear the crying. It was definitely Jimmy. He knew his own son's cry. Every parent does. It was coming from the far left of the cabin. Outside the cabin all was still motionless. The only sound was the soft cry of a child. His child.

Rob turned to Asher. "Do you have a gun or anything?"

"No. You can't go out there. It's a trap."

Rob felt anger and panic rise in his throat with the taste of bile. "A trap? I don't care. That's my son out there." He grabbed the light Asher was carrying when he rescued them. Flipped it on and off. "Get outta my way. I'm going out."

Asher must have seen the fierceness in Rob's eyes because he slowly backed away from the door.

Juli approached him. "Rob, I've heard of some pretty bizarre suicide attempts, but nothing like this."

"Get out of my way, Juli. Jimmy's out there. My boy. I need to go to him."

Reluctantly, Juli bowed her head and sidestepped. "You're not ready to face this alone."

Rob stopped short of the door and looked back at her. She was still facing the other way, head hung low. "What's that supposed to mean? Not ready. What does that mean, Juli?"

"Fear rules in your heart too." Her voice was low, somber. "You're not ready."

Rob had no time for her nonsense. His heart ached for Jimmy, to hold him again and wipe his tears like he used to. He gripped the light in one hand and lifted the two-by-six with the other. The door swung open...

... and the forest greeted him like an executioner.
