Chapter Six

It had been two days and Maia was beginning to get restless. They had heard helicopters flying over them their first day, but the skies had been silent ever since. They had managed to distract and occupy themselves in a number of ways, but even one another’s company and the excitement of exploring a new lover could only keep them busy for so long. Sooner or later, they would have to make the call and move somewhere else. They couldn’t stay hidden here forever.

As the days passed, they tried to keep tabs on everything that was going on around them, but the information they were able to acquire was scant at best. With a little battery operated antenna radio, they would sit and scan through the airwaves in search of a report about the glass desert. It was anxiety inducing as far as Maia was concerned…but Ignacio kept at it, determined to track down every scrap of information he could with what little resources they had. It wasn’t enough though, and their efforts left both of them feeling more helpless than when they had first arrived.

It was nearly noon on their third day at the trailer when William came barreling down the dusty dirt driveway in Johnathan’s truck. They heard him coming, peeking out of the windows in fear before they realized who it was…. not that such a realization helped alleviate their fear. In fact, the speed at which he was coming down the driveway wasn’t the speed someone coming for a casual visit would drive at. They shared a nervous glance before walking out of the trailer to meet William as he parked the truck.

“Looks like your stay here is coming to an end, guys,” William said as he climbed down from the truck and shut the door.

“What’s going on?” Questioned Maia as she felt Ignacio reach to take her hand.

“They found your car, Maia, they were asking about you.” William answered, shoving his hands into the pockets of his blue jeans.

“They? Who is they?” Maia asked, her tone a combination of worry and irritation. “What were they asking about? What the hell are you talking about, William?”

Ignacio could tell Maia was getting a little angry and neither of them were in the mood to play 20 questions, but he gave a gentle squeeze to her hand in the hopes that it would calm her a bit.

“Sorry,” William said, almost sheepishly. “A few government guys came into the plaza shop asking about your car in the parking lot, Maia. They wanted to know who it belonged to and started asking for our security footage.”

Maia tensed at his words and Ignacio could feel it in the way she held his hand. Gently, he placed his other hand on her shoulder and gave her a look that asked her to relax and let him take it from here.

“And did you give it to them?” Ignacio asked, turning those amber eyes towards William with an intensity that made the young man feel a bit like he was being interrogated.
