Waylon’s car was parked in the front drive. That wasn’t where he usually parked it, but he vaguely remembered putting it there at some point the night before. However, he also remembered driving it out to Wong’s, and then things got really blurry.

Kaylie was ready to go. She came down with her bag on her shoulder and dressed to leave. She walked around to the passenger side of the car and opened the door.

“Do you take your backpack everywhere with you?” Waylon asked, opening his own door.

“I do,” Kaylie said with a nod and slid into her seat.

“Fair enough.” Waylon got into the car. He backed the car around the roundabout in the front drive and drove out toward the highway. There was a mile and a half of driveway before the public roads. The driveway needed a ton of work, and he could feel his car complaining every time he hit one of the potholes.

They turned onto the highway, heading toward the city. There was a minimal amount of traffic because they were leaving in a later part of the day. Most people that worked were already at work, and most people that were done with work were already at home.

There were still quite a few people walking the streets. People shopping or enjoying the cool day. Most of them were bundled up and fighting against the cold. Waylon thought that it would be about time for him to get his coat out of the closet and stop trying to pretend that the cold didn’t bother him.

The West End River Park had been beautiful at one time, but like much of the West End area, it had fallen to horrible disrepair. The state of the area led to an increase in crime and violence. There was a parking lot at the entrance of the park for about a dozen cars, and beyond that, a grassy area that was in desperate need of grooming. For its namesake, the park had a leg of the river running through it. The banks were covered in trash that had washed up and found a final resting spot on the shore. Where once people could come out and enjoy a swim, anyone who got in the waters now would likely die shortly thereafter from any number of diseases in the disgusting water.

“You going to be all right?” Waylon asked, leaning down so that he could look out of the windshield at the park. He didn’t really like the idea of just leaving Kaylie in this part of town. Personally, he would never walk around in West End River Park alone, not that he considered himself to be a badass or anything, but people tended to mess with pretty girls far more often than men.

“I’ll be fine. Don’t worry,” she said with a smile and swung open her door.

Waylon rolled down the window as she closed the door. “Call me if you need anything.” He leaned to look at her through the window.

“I guess I should probably get your number,” she said, pulling her phone from her pocket.
