Chapter Eight

WILD HORSES

WE’RE IN the middle of Nowhere, USA. A location where there’s nothing but endless sky, miles of farms, and uninhabited land. It’s a backdrop outside the Hellcat’s windows that is foreign to both Quinn and me, having experienced the Adirondack Mountains and a handful of parks and forests in our lifetime, but never a landscape so open and vast. A new world that makes us realize how little we’ve seen of this country, and witnessing it firsthand is daunting, but it confirms the infinite possibilities we have for our future. This is only the beginning of our journey.

The start.

This is how it starts.

“It’s gorgeous,” I say, running my fingertips around Quinn’s ear as he rests his head in my lap. He looks up at me with an adorable smile and takes my hand in his. “There’re countless small towns out this way, and they don’t run one into the next. There’s a great distance separating each one, with acres of crops and small forest areas between them. I haven’t seen any subdivisions and it’s been hours since any houses have been crammed together... and with the clouds no longer crowding over us, I feel so alive... so free.”

I take a look at Jack who’s slumped in the driver’s seat. He’s not answering our questions about his wife, or Dylan, and acts like he wants to be left alone, which, in all honesty, I don’t know how long I can stand to let him be. It drives me crazy when people are silent.

We’ve given up badgering him for a while, although I plan on starting up again soon. Dylan disappearing is odd. I think Jack sent him back to the retreat, or maybe to a different retreat to stay. Of course, that’s a guess.

And I wish I knew where we’re headed and why he’s even bothering with us. We’ve only been able to get him to say one thing, one crazy Jack thing...

“Being friends with me is like shitting sunshine; your ass is always on fire. Try to contain your excitement.”

I was still high when those words came out of his mouth and it’s possible I heard him wrong, but I’m pretty sure that’s what he said.

So... what the fuck does it mean?

I don’t think I’m shitting sunshine, and I don’t think I want to shit sunshine anytime soon, or maybe I do, although I shouldn’t be shitting sunshine because of Jack Jameson.

“A ride out west is precisely what we needed,” I announce, seeing if he’ll respond. He pretends he didn’t hear so I decide to continue my conversation with Quinn. “Your face isn’t all over the news around here like it is back in Albany. It feels safer out this way, doesn’t it?”

“Kind of,” he says. “I’d like to know who snitched, though. Who said I was hanging out with Trent and Dylan at the river?”

“Don’t waste your time thinking about it. Anyone could’ve placed you at the scene with the two of them. It’s not like that fight and all the yelling didn’t wake up at least twenty people.
