We drove straight through the day and into the night without stopping. I was hungry, but by the time we got into Friedrichsburg, on the very outskirts of the Republic, all I could think about was my thirst. I felt a spark of hope when we got into Friedrichsburg, though—a city I remembered from the first time I was here. Maybe we’d find Jean and Alec and Nick and maybe not—but even if we don’t, soon we’ll get some water, I told myself. Soon.

“How do you know where to meet them?” I asked.

“Alec said it was the same house where they were before…” Charlie murmured, biting his lip and peering out the windshield intently. “He gave me directions. I’m just trying to remember what he said—”

“Oh, same house? I was there, I can tell you,” I said. I recognized the street we were on now as the one Kate had walked down after donning her absurd disguise, where she’d talked to the family sitting on the porch for directions to the train station. “You’re almost there,” I told Charlie. “Go straight till the road dead ends, and then go right… yep… and it’ll be the very last house before the edge of the forest. It’s an uninhabited neighborhood and furthest away from the city, nobody should be around there.” A few minutes later, I said, relieved, “That’s it! The one with the darkened windows.” They must have hung sheets on them to conceal their activity inside, just in case there were any passersby.

Suddenly I felt nervous. Who would be there? Did Nick make it back? Did he find Molly’s body in Beckenshire? How was he handling that—or how was he handling it if he didn’t find anything but rubble? Were Roger and Jacob with him too? Or would it be only Alec and Jean waiting for us?

I tried not to think about Will and Kate. If Charlie had known that this was the rendezvous location, then Will would have known it, too.

I wasn't at all prepared for what greeted me when I knocked on the door.
