Brody moved through the woods quickly. It wasn’t dark yet on the road, but here in the woods the light was already gone. He wanted to cover as much ground as possible before he flicked the flashlight on.

Batteries, along with everything else, were in short supply.

He occasionally tied little bits of cloth, torn from a rag, to the branches. Not only to find his way back to the road, but also to mark the area he had searched. He has hoping to find his dad tonight, but in case he didn’t, he didn’t want to waste time searching the same area tomorrow.

His sudden improvement in health was remarkable. He had woken up that day feeling a bit better, and had improved each hour of the day. Now he felt like he’d never been sick. He didn’t know what to think about it. Could he really have gotten over the radiation sickness? He was afraid of what the answer might be, so he had tried not to think about, instead choosing to busy himself with productive tasks.

Still, though, he couldn’t help feeling hopeful. Less than twenty-four hours before, he had been resigned to die. He had been torturing himself with guilt over going outside that day and getting exposed to the nuclear fallout. What would Katie do without him? She had already lost one parent. Fifteen, almost sixteen, was too young to lose both one’s parents.

And Katie might never forgive him – or worse, she might never forgive herself for her anger at her father for leaving her too soon. When she got older and could look back, she would realize that her anger had been misplaced. Brody didn’t want his Katie’s last memories of her father be tainted with mixed-up, toxic emotions.

Brody sighed as he moved through the thick underbrush. He had already searched on the other side of the road. He was beginning to lose hope.

In the area immediately surrounding his father's truck, there had been no sign of a struggle. The forest had looked undisturbed. And anyway, it didn't really make sense that his father would have left the safety of his vehicle and gone off in the woods if he were injured.

Brody flicked on the flashlight and turned around, heading again toward the road.

He made his way out to the road and began to pedal his bike back home. He would have to tell his mother and Katie the truth.

He believed his father had been abducted.
