Pretty scary, going back. I was afraid they’d show up and catch me again. I kept looking around, listening. What made it worse was realizing they really might show up.

Just suppose they started to worry about me? They were decent people.

If I couldn’t get out of the rope, I’d die.

They didn’t want my death on their heads, did they?

Which meant they might come back and make sure I wasn’t still hanging under the tree.

It was a thought that scared me the whole time I was there this morning.

They might’ve shown up at any second.

I climbed the boulder, anyway, brought down my water bottle and ran. Didn’t even waste time looking for my knife.

A great, safe feeling to be back here at my secret camp.

Except for my journal, everything’s packed and ready to go.

Only one problem. I don’t know where to go.

I should start heading back for the car. I only brought ten days of food, and this is day six. (Haven’t been eating as much as planned, though. I could stretch things out.) Another reason to start for the car is that Gloria and Susie went the other way. Turning back, I won’t run afoul of them again.

Which is also a good reason not to turn back.

It’s crazy. But the thing is, I can’t get Gloria out of my head.

I’ve got to find her.

Now that I think about it, maybe she’ll come to me.
