Chapter Twenty-Two

The trees and seemingly normal looking houses whipped by in a dizzying blur. Dan glanced into the rearview mirror at Gary sitting in Sophia’s seat. Dan had wanted to leave Gary behind but Paul was sure that Gary, out of sheer contempt and a twisted mind in general, would desecrate Sophia’s grave.

Paul hated the trade. Since he couldn’t bring himself to kill him, they had no choice but to tie Gary’s wrists and bring him with. When Dan stuffed him into the back seat, Gary had claimed it was tantamount to kidnapping just before Paul slammed the car door shut in his face.

Paul watched the foreign land unfold around him. This was a mistake. He should go back. Deep down he knew the memories there would only haunt him forever. Dan and Wendy and the little voice in the back of his head had all made sure he knew it too. If time really could heal all wounds, the Jacobson house wasn’t the place to spend any. Plus they needed him. If he bailed out on Dan and Wendy now, he would be sentencing them to a slow and certain death. Dan had angrily given him the same snap out of it speech he had given to Dan after losing Carla, Matt and Mike. Paul could still the terror in Dan’s eyes as he began shouting.

They passed a newer looking brown RV that had smashed head first into a telephone pole, which was now leaning at an awkward angle. The side door was hanging by a single hinge, like something had ripped it open.

They didn’t speak for several miles.

“Soooo, what happens once we get to the ocean anyway?” Wendy finally asked, staring out over the empty roadway ahead.

“Ooh, we goin to the ocean? I love the ocean!” Gary grinned, revealing two large gaps in his row of yellow teeth. “They got seagulls and brown pelicans and loons and...”

Paul elbowed him in the side of the head.

“Okay, okay!” Gary shrieked, hunching his shoulder and turning to the door.

“Say another word, I dare you,” Paul said heavily. “We will tie you to a tree in the next town and sit there and lay on the horn until those things come crawling around!”

Dan stared at Paul’s wild eyes in the mirror.

“Okay,” Gary said softly. “Okay.”

Silence ensued as the landscape continued to change around them. Stationary oil rigs, long horns and brown grass sprinkled the terrain.

“I’m not sure,” Dan finally said, looking over to Wendy then back to the road. “Find a
