Chapter Thirty-One

Tank opened his third warm soda of the day. He guzzled half the can before pausing to let out a long, deep burp. They had moved their headquarters from Lea’s house to a restaurant in a fancy, old-as-shit-style house, which had been left empty by its owners. He couldn’t remember the term for the style. Old as shit was good enough.

His anger roiled as he thought about how close they must have been to capturing Lea, her cop momma and that simpering father of hers. They’d finally cracked open all of the lockers, finding nothing but a bunch of junk, which was kind of a mystery. Maybe 23C had been their unit after all, and they’d just used it to hide out while they came up with a better hiding place. He’d tried to retrace their steps, but hiking through the forest didn’t seem to be getting them anywhere, and it was annoying as all shit. So he decided to take a different approach. Regrouping at the restaurant, he took time to study a map of the area and think through where they could have gone.

The map of Evansville and its surrounding areas lay on the table in front of him. Lake Sparrow sat to the northeast and Lake Juniper was due north of their location. He had never been to Lake Sparrow, but he had been to Lake Juniper. All the kids from Evansville would go up there in the summers to swim, smoke weed and fool around. There was just a bunch of cottages around the lake, a few supply stores and restaurants but nothing more.

Looking at the map, there wasn’t much around Lake Sparrow. Looked like a bunch of undeveloped land with rolling hills, a lake and not much more. From what he could tell, there might not even be many houses or other signs of life in that area. Going up there could be a colossal waste of time. Then again, Lea and her family were always going on hiking trips. Her parents were real idiotic nature people. Why anyone would choose to leave the comforts of their home for the great outdoors always perplexed him. Might be worth checking out.

“Hey, Tank, we’re all done looking for supplies,” said Mac Bower, his second man in charge.

“You get anything?”

“Just some more cans of food, spices and pasta. It’s getting harder to get food.”

“No shit. And the knuckleheads just keep eating like it was Thanksgiving.”

The other men brought several boxes of nonperishable food through the restaurant into the dark kitchen. The light from the wide windows barely penetrated the back room. They would need to open the back door to do any food preparations. Not that opening cold cans of food required much culinary intervention. They’d have to start ranging further to find food. Turning back to the map, he considered their options.

“You still looking at that map?” asked Bower.

Bower and Tank had been friends since grade school. He was the only man Tank would allow to speak freely.
