They drove a few miles before turning left onto Route 113 and following that for another few miles before catching Route 16 north of Chocorua. This road led them through miles of countryside before entering the southern outskirts of Conway. They had not spotted a single living person since leaving Moultonborough. Now, however, signs of life became more evident. Cars lined up at the ATM and the Mobil station where gas prices had gone up to twenty dollars a gallon. Three Conway squad cars sat out in front of the gas station, five of the officers trying to maintain order while the sixth argued with the station owner. Alissa could feel the fear and frustration hanging heavy in the air. They had to get clear of this area before tension flared into violence.

Less than a mile into Conway, they came upon Kancamagus Highway, the bypass around North Conway, a two-lane road that wound through the forests for miles, occasionally passing a cluster of homes or a scenic overlook. They followed it, swerving around a line of cars and RVs waiting to enter the Saco Ranger Station. These people were searching for a place to stay, information, and a guarantee of safety, the latter of which could not be promised. Alissa cruised by, hoping not to attract attention. The last thing they needed would be to have a group seeking refuge following them to their sanctuary. No one broke ranks and fell in behind them. All the campgrounds had barricades in front of their driveways with posted signs notifying the refugee that they were full. The overflow had set up camp in the overlooks, smartly seeking a secure place away from the mass of people who, when overrun by the deaders, would merely add numbers to the horde. They passed a dozen cars and a few RVs, either locales preparing for the inevitable or the displaced searching for a spot to ride out the storm. No one paid any attention to her.

After driving for five miles, the Kancamagus Highway merged again with Route 302 at Cooks Crossing. They followed it into the mountains for another few miles before Alissa came to a small unpaved road leading to her cabin and entered it. Five minutes later they reached their destination.

The sun made its slow descent to the west, giving them more than enough time to unload and settle in before nightfall.

“We’re here.”

Nathan whistled under his breath. “When you said a cabin, I pictured two or three rooms. This is a small house.”

Which, in fact, it was. When buying a place in the mountains, Paul had insisted on purchasing something big enough to hold family and friends in case they needed to ride out a crisis. The cabin had four bedrooms on the second floor, each with its own bath. She appreciated the deck out back and its view of the mountains, the perfect location to relax.

Alissa pulled up in front of the door and parked. Miriam stopped alongside her. As Miriam got out, she smiled.
