The Apple Inn parking lot

Conway, NH

A night and a day had passed since Bethany’s ill-fated trip into town. Riker claimed a family emergency and pointed out that the bad weather was supposed to last a while. The director decided to temporarily close the film site.

Riker and Lakon shook hands with uncles and cousins from their father’s side of the family. Their mother looked on proudly.

“I’m so glad you sent Auggie away, Riker,” she told him. “I’m sure my sister’s boy is at the bottom of this. Just look at this letter!” she held up a letter from Auggie to Bethany.

“Mom, I can’t believe you’re reading Bet’s mail,” Riker complained.

“For Heaven’s sake, Riker, I can’t believe you’re not! From Auggie, son! If you’ve read any of Bethany’s books, you’d know that she’d expect you to...”

Riker laughed and hugged his mother who turned on Lakon.

“If you’d read any of her books, you might not have gotten a face full of ... whatever!”

Lakon looked at his brother, chuckling.

“I can see we’ll be taking last place from now on, brother!” he lamented.

Elke rounded on her sons.

“She gave birth to two beautiful little boys all by herself, fighting off that awful cousin of ours the whole time! She could have had...” she paused with a moue of disgust on her face, “...an abortion!” they all shuddered.

“Good God, Mother!” Riker shouted.

“Well, don’t just stand there!” Elke whacked her sons. “Go save her!”

Both of her sons and all her in-laws transformed and disappeared into the night.
