Twelve

Several minutes later, they emerged from the mine on the opposite side of the mountain.

An old Rambler station wagon that looked as if it hadn’t been washed for a decade, or seen any bodywork in at least two, was parked at the side of a road that wound downward through the trees into darkness.

Far below, the lights of the city twinkled, and Tara thought it might be the most beautiful sight she’d ever seen. But then anything would look beautiful right now. She was relieved and exhausted and just wanted to get back to Whitestone.

As Imogene made her way to the Rambler, Tara and Matt stood back a moment, taking in those lights.

“So many people,” Matt said, a faraway look in his eyes. “They work their jobs, go home to their families, have dinner together, watch TV. And they never know when tragedy can strike. When someone like Zane and that maniac Carl can come crashing down on them, destroying everything they know and love.”

Tara felt a sudden hitch in her throat as she thought about grocery stores and cartons of milk and drugged-out punks and mothers and daughters who go out on an errand and never come home again.

She looked at Matt. “Not this time,” she said. “Thanks to you.”

“It isn’t over yet.”

“It will be. And I’ve got a mother, a sister and a couple of nieces who’ll be thanking you, too.”

“Maybe they should be thanking Imogene,” Matt said. “If it weren’t for her little booby trap, we’d probably be facedown in that mine right now.”

As if on cue, the Rambler’s horn honked.

“I can’t start this jalopy without the keys,” Imogene called out. “You two lovebirds want to hurry it up?”
