Katelyn had been driving for well over an hour and she was getting anxious. The Subaru was running on fumes and she’d never make it to the rendezvous point. She didn’t want to abandon her car. A vehicle gave her some small amount of autonomy, a chance to leave when she wanted. But only if it had gas in it.

She saw a light flash through the trees and put her foot on the brake. A moment later it appeared again and she realized it had to be coming from a building — most likely a cabin.

If the lights were on, that could mean someone was home — and there was likely to be a vehicle with gas. She hesitated for only an instant and then turned up a dirt path leading toward the light.

She didn’t want to attract attention to herself by begging for fuel that she couldn’t pay for, but she didn’t have anything to siphon it off with either, nor was she sure she knew how, anyway.

She set her jaw. Somehow, she was going to have to manage it if she wanted to go any further. She pulled over and parked, turning off the engine. Until she had scoped things out she didn’t want to alert anyone to her arrival.

She considered taking her gun, then thought better of it and slid it underneath the passenger seat. Regretfully, she thought of the weapons and bullets that she had left behind. If her gun was jamming, she didn’t need to wave it around. Better to try to fix it before she wasted precious ammunition.

She got out and walked up the dirt path. As she rounded a turn, a log cabin came into view. It was larger than her grandfather’s, but it was not as finished. It was more like a cabin at a sleepaway camp than a home.

There were no lights on, but a faint orange glow suggested a fireplace fire; she could smell the wood smoke drifting out of the chimney. She walked as silently as she could, holding her breath. Her vision was beginning to shift, the forest around her coming alive with infrared and platinum lights.

Not now, she thought as she forced herself to keep moving forward.

There was a truck parked to the right of the rough-hewn cabin and she tiptoed toward it. She checked the bed of the truck when she reached it, hoping to see a gas can.

No such luck.

With a grimace, she turned her attention to the gas tank. Even if she could find a hose to suck the gas through, it would be moot without something to put the gas in.

She could wait until they went to bed and then she could rummage around in their garage. But people were nervous from all the murders. What if they shot at her?

“Kat!”

On high alert, she swung around. Jesse Fenner stood on the front porch waving at her. She stared at him, stunned. It finally hit her: this was the safe house, the cabin in the woods Justin had told Lucy to run to.
