Someone had been grilling burgers and selling them with potato salad after the worship service, to raise money for continuing the worship service. Tom treated the students to lunch before taking them back to the campground. Maybe he shouldn't have, but he figured they deserved a nice treat for getting up on a Sunday morning. The other students would have to make do with cold cuts sandwiches.

Something didn't feel right, he thought, as he parked at the campsite. He did a quick headcount, stopping when he saw Adrian.

Adrian's face was scarlet, his expression thunderous. "I'm going to wallop some ass," he shouted, shaking a fist at Tom.

What had Carrie done now? And where was she? That's when he realized that he didn't see Adrian's van anywhere. Had she left? Why would she do that? And where had she gone? Had she had enough of the internship and took the van to the airport? Why didn't she talk to him about it?

Maybe because of the contract he'd insisted she sign. He had said he wouldn't let any of them leave, as it could ruin his project and any chance he had of completing his dissertation.

Adrian yanked the passenger front door open and yelled at the student there to get out. Jimmy jumped, vacating the seat so Adrian could get in. The other students stayed in the van, unsure what to do. Tom wasn't sure, either. He had planned to take them all to town - but what about now, with two girls missing? But was it fair to ruin their day off just because Carrie was a spoiled brat!

"Anyone who wants to spend the rest of the day in town, get in now," Tom ordered. "Or you can stay at the campground. Adrian and I need to go find Carrie and Julie."

Two students decided to stay behind - Henry and Vicki. Tom didn't have to worry about them - they wouldn't go anywhere. The rest fastened their seat belts - he had them well trained - and he tore out of the campground. "Which direction?" he asked.

"I haven't the faintest idea," Adrian shouted.

"Calm down. We'll find them. Now, did they take everything they own? Do you think they'd go to the airport? Or did they leave anything behind?"

Patrick spoke up. He hadn't gone to worship services, so presumably he knew what was going on. "I checked out their shit. They left their duffels and sleeping bags behind, but took some stuff. Shampoo stuff. I bet they went to a motel. Julie keeps complaining about the restroom."

"Okay," Tom said, sighing with relief. So they weren't headed to an airport. They could have gone to a truck stop or motel to find a shower. He'd bet on the motel, since truck stops didn't have bathtubs, and Carrie would have problems managing a shower. "We'll check out the town of Fort Laramie first. It's closest, and if we don't find them, then we'll go to the next town.

"I told them to stop," Adrian muttered, raking his fingers through his hair.
