Where the hell?

EVERY HORN OF every eighteen-wheeler in the rest stop blasted at the same moment.

Hayden opened his eyes, nearly rolling off the table.

“My husband’s gone. Help!” someone screamed.

Hayden rubbed his eyes and tried to make some sense of the chaos. People ran from truck to truck. A dog was howling.

“Hayden. Hayden.” Jim Edwards limped toward him. “Let’s get out of here. People are freaking out.”

The woman yelled again. “Don’t touch me! Where’s my husband?” Hayden sat up on the picnic table and looked over to the rest stop restrooms. Under the florescent light a large woman was jumping up and down and screaming at a small group of truckers surrounding her.

“It’s Grit’s wife,” one of them said. “Somebody find him.”

“I looked everywhere.”

“There’s Clement’s truck. Wake him. He’ll know what to do.”

“His truck’s empty.”

“Where the hell is everybody?”

Hayden rubbed some wakefulness into his face as Jim handed him his bag.

“Should we try and help?” Hayden said through a yawn.

“They’ve called the police, Hay.”

“Oh,” Hayden said. “Let’s go.”
