Chapter 10

“Fuck!” Murphy cursed as he watched her ride away. A wave of helplessness swept over him, just like when he watched her lying comatose for months in the hospital bed.

“I should have never picked the damn handcuffs.”

He gritted his teeth and turned away. The small, stark cabin stood in the early morning sun.

His leg burned as he hobbled to the tiny porch and back to the open door. The musty air hit him once again; the cracks between the wooden planks let streams of light in. Tiny motes of particles danced in the early morning sunlight rising in the east.

The place looked like someone had been there recently; the rations were stocked and the canteens he found were filled. The camping gear was neat and tidy. The three bedrolls were stacked in the corner. A thin layer of grime coated the surface. They couldn’t have left that long ago. Would they be back soon?

Brushing that disquieting thought aside, he sipped from the canteen, the water warm but welcome.

A pang of guilt poked him when he thought Echo needed to drink some, too.

He found the jerky in a glass mason jar and soon began to gnaw on an end. He stuffed his pockets with broken pieces and soothed himself with the idea of giving some to Echo when she came back.

His heart jerked in his chest.
