“North Fork should be just up ahead.” Bo squinted at the map. He looked up, grinning. “Pop’s cabin has got to be close around here.”

I grinned back, picturing Sonny sacked out across an old cot nailed into the wall. I had a vague recollection of Pop’s old cabin, but not much else. It was just images that sort of lingered in the back of my mind – snow, a sparkling clean window surrounded by weathered wood, maybe a chimney. Couldn’t remember much else. Bo said it was ‘cause I’d only ever been there once in my life. I remembered a bed though. It was hewn right from logs and tacked to the wall. Had strings criss crossed along the underneath instead of a box spring, and a soft, cozy mattress. Must have spent a lot of time in that bed for it to be so clear in my mind when the rest of the place was just foggy images. I said as much, and Bo grinned again.

“You was sick as hound dog ate chocolate that time.” He clarified for me. “If you got out of that bed, I cain’t remember it.”

“Guess that explains it then.” I agreed, sticking out a leg and tripping him as he went by. He went down like a sack of rocks, and I cracked right up.

“Asshole.” Bo complained, brushing hisself off and continuing on. “Next time some fat fuck lays into you behind a dumpster, see if I give a shit.”

“I will.” I said, patting him on the back. “You will.”

“No way. You’re on your own, Mighty Mouth.”

I snickered again then felt a little bit bad when I seen Bo was limping. I was about to make him sit so I could have a look when something moved up ahead of us on the trail. Bo seen it at the same time and held out a hand to stop me, and we both dropped to crouches. We was both jumpy as newborn colts since we’d heard Merle was heading our way. Bo was ahead of me and had the better view so I didn’t know at first why all the tension went out of him like a balloon leaking air. At first I thought he’d seen Merle and just give up, just like that. But then he turned sideways, and I saw the shit-eating grin, and that’s when I knew.

Sonny.
