Getting all the supplies unloaded from the truck was sweaty, back breaking work, but it was also the easy part. Actually, leaving the driveway and heading into the unknown danger of trying to sneak back into a place that tried to kill me, is much worse. “Come on dummy.” I mutter to myself when my foot starts to feel like a lead weight upon the brake. I slowly force my foot off the pedal and switch it to the gas and creep down the driveway and out of the yard. I do a thorough examination of the road in both directions before proceeding with caution. I’m sure Silas would tell me I’m driving like a granny right now- the idea makes my mouth twist into a small smile, though its hard to actually find a lot humorous right now. My hands have a mind of their own and have a slight tremor running through them as I hold the wheel. “You’re doing this for Silas.” I tell myself sternly and it helps- a little.

I slowly retrace the road I took yesterday, looking for small signs that show I’m heading in the right direction. A light blue mailbox, the white-washed skeletons of cattle out in a field, a small garden tractor parked beside the road, and finally the large, oddly shaped boulder sitting randomly in the middle of nowhere shortly before I get back to the main road. I’m not sure if it’s smart to be on this main road I should be on, but it’s still a couple miles before I can turn off and head down another road that will also lead me to Louisville- according to the map anyway. My generation was always much better with using maps on our phones- so I hope I’m reading it correctly.

I know I won’t be able to drive right up to the gates. Sooner or later I’m going to have to ditch the truck and go the rest of the way on foot. The idea is terrifying, but I haven’t been able to think of an idea around it. A truck is just too noticeable, and I really don’t want to get caught. The only thing worse than getting caught and thrown in jail with Silas would be his reaction to discovering I did exactly the opposite of what he told me. He won’t be thrilled to see me regardless, I know this because he is so stubborn, but as long as I can actually pull this rescue off and save both our asses, I think he can be persuaded to see things my way.

I don’t have an exact rendezvous point picked out to leave the truck, I thought I would wing it and see how far I could get before I start to lose my nerve. I actually don’t get very far at all before something up ahead catches my attention. I squint to make out what it is, but its still a couple seconds before my eyesight gets on board and I can piece it together.
