I had no sense of where our people were taking us. I just knew it was deeper and deeper into the woods. Brewster finally had to give up on his project to lift his leg on every tree we passed. There were just too many of them.

After we’d been walking for a long time, I could sense my girl getting tired. It showed in the way her feet dragged just a little, and how her grip on my leash had grown slack. “Craig? I need to stop and rest,” she said.

“I think we should keep going,” Craig answered.

“But we’re lost,” Bryan pointed out. “If we keep going, won’t that just make us lost-er?”

“I don’t think that’s a word,” Craig told him.

“What should I say?” Bryan asked.

“More lost,” Craig advised.

“There. You admit it. We’re more lost,” Bryan said. He sounded as if he’d won something.

“What time is it?” my girl asked.

Craig lifted his hand and stared at it. “It’s a little after five.”

“Well, that’s good. Dad will start looking for us when we don’t show up at the car,” Bryan said.

“Dad?” Craig asked. “But we came up here with Mom. He thinks we’re going home with Mom. That’s what he said when we were walking to the lodge.”

Maggie Rose shook her head. “But I … I told Mom we’d go home with Dad.”

There was a short silence. Brewster eyed the pine needles, getting ready to lie down. Bryan threw up his hands. “Great. Dad thinks we’re driving home with Mom, and Mom thinks we’re driving home with Dad.”

Craig nodded. His whole body seemed to sag. “So nobody’s going to realize we’re stuck out here until they both get home.”

“And that could be after dark,” Maggie Rose said.

Brewster collapsed onto his stomach and rolled onto his side. Bryan dropped Brewster’s leash. “This is bad,” Bryan said.
