“Are we still going the right way?” Margret asked with concern in her voice.

“Yes,” Sara said, “but we still need to go more east.”

Margret put the map in her lap, the paper crunching. “Sara,” she said slowly and quietly, “that’s the ocean.”

“That’s where he is!” Sara shouted and pointed out the window.

“This was a waste of time,” Vincent shouted as he hit the steering wheel, his eyes catching Sara’s in the mirror.

“Wait,” Margret said, looking at the map, “there is some land out there.” She looked up. “We need to stop in the next town.”

A few miles later the town appeared. It was full of people and traffic. “Just as I thought,” Margret said as they stopped for a group of well-dressed teenage girls who walked slowly across the street in front of them. “A tourist town.” The car started to move again. “Pull in there,” Margret said, pointing to an empty space in front of a building. Overhanging the door was a sign that said ‘Tourist Information’.

As soon as the car was parked Margret slipped on her sunglasses, opened the door, and got out. Sara watched from the backseat as she disappeared into the building. Taking a glance towards the front of the car, as Sara feared, Vincent was facing her, his arm resting on the back of the seat, his eyes burning.

“If you have led us…”

“I know,” she interrupted, meeting his stare and feeling every nerve in her body tingling, “you’ll kill me and make it painful.” Turning away she went back to watching for Margret, regretting talking back to him, still feeling his eyes on her. Thankfully she saw Margret coming out of the building, carrying something in her hands.

“I got a couple of maps,” Margret announced as she got in the car and she handed one to Vincent, “and there is an island out there,” she said, holding another one up. Sara leaned forward as Margret unfolded it and pointed to a shape in the middle of the ocean.

“It’s a vacation island. Half is open to the public and the other,” Margret lowered her voice, “is now private.” She jerked her head back towards the building. “They said that ten years ago a rich old guy was able to buy out a family who owned a lot of land on the other side of the island, and he’s been buying and rebuilding ever since.”

Vincent’s hand gripped the steering wheel. “That would be a good place to hide out. How do we get there?”

“There’s a public ferry; the last one leaves in a few hours. They told me that we’d better get there early because it’s usually packed with people going back to their rentals for the night.”

Vincent turned in his seat, his eyes only skimming Sara as he looked out the window and not saying a word as he backed the car onto the road. She glanced in the rearview mirror as he turned to the front. His eyes flicked and met hers for just a second.
