Right Behind You

NOVEMBER 6, 1963

Darkness lingered in the morning and rain clouds festered in the sky of the Smokies. Ruby Starr had an abundance of water bottles stuffed into the pockets of her diner uniform and her parka, but Tim was more interested in the contents of her backpack.

“A plethora of supplies this week,” Tim said. “Diana finally talked you into bringing her curlers?”

Since the agents had taken her under their wing, Ruby had picked up more than a few shifts to cover their luxury expenses. Now, she was bringing them produce, clothes, sanitary products, and books on a weekly basis. This week, she had even splurged and brought them a collection of “manager’s special” canned mystery meat. It wasn’t that great. In fact, it wasn’t even a fraction of what they were likely used to, but it was something.

“I was hoping it was enough food. I know last time you mentioned Rigan’s ample appetite.” She poked through her bag.

“Boy always eats more than he should.” Tim sighed. “More aspirin?”

“Yeah, Diana mentioned that Da Vinci is coming down with a cold and she’s just being cautious in case it turns into something big.”

“That’s news.” Tim narrowed his eyes as he focused on the bottle for a moment. “I guess it makes sense. It seems as though he’s the only one of us who is warm-blooded.”

Tim dug his hand into the bag and pulled out a newer but severely well-loved book. “What is this?” He flipped it over to read the back, noticing a torn, bent backside. “Do you bend your page corners?”

“Only when I don’t have a bookmark. But man! You haven’t read this? It’s great. It’s by this lady named Victoria, and it’s seriously all about how hard it is to be a young woman in the here and now. I brought it for Diana, but only because I assumed you had already read it. You’ve got to give it a read.” She dived into the backpack on her own and pulled out a collection of poetry.

“Victoria Lucas…” Tim held the book in his hands, staring at it for a moment before skimming through the pages. “I think I’ll keep this one for myself,” he mused. “That said, I have something for you.” Tim pulled from his back pocket a thin envelope addressed to Fairbanks, Alaska. “We need you to get this in the mail, but we need you to travel at least a hundred miles north of Bryson to send it out.”

“A hundred miles?” Ruby let the words come out a bit more distraught than she intended. “Tim, that’s a long way to go. Especially with the passion wagon still all beat up.”

“Anything in that range and we risk it being found by the KGB. Diana’s written it in a cipher. If you can get it through, there is a chance we’ll be escaping very soon.”

“Who’s it for?” she asked, taking the envelope from his blue, veiny hands.

“Adams. He’s a friend of ours. If anyone can get us out of here alive, it is him.
