Bernie swiped and punched on the digital screen in the wall a couple more times. From the table, Lance couldnât see what was displayed on the screen, but he saw the urgency in Bernieâs stature.
âItâs coming fast,â Bernie said. âToo fast.â He turned and looked to Leah and Lance at the table and smirked. âGuess they were going too fast to read the warning signs, so letâs go have some fun, shall we?â Then he turned and headed out of the kitchen and down the hallway which theyâd came, his boots echoing down the corridor.
âWhatâs that mean?â Leah asked as she and Lance quickly stood and followed.
âYou read the signs,â Lance said. âWhoeverâs in that car, I donât think theyâre going to be greeted with coffee and pie.â
âHe wouldnât really ⦠shoot them, would he?â
Lance shrugged. âIf theyâre a threat, I think he might.â Then added, âSorta reminds me of your dad.â
Leah groaned. âOh God, youâre right. Theyâre goners.â
Lance had made the joke, but in reality he had to wonder just who was in the car speeding up the driveway of a man whom nobody came to visit. And more importantly, why were they coming?
Because of you, a voice in the back of his head whispered. Just like all the rest of this awfulness.
When Lance and Leah made it back to the landing, Bernie was standing at the door with a pump-action shotgun in his hands and staring out the window next to the door, waiting. âShould be any moment now,â he said. âUnless they stopped for some reason. Or ran off the road into aâaha! Hereâs our unwelcome visitor now!â
Lance leaned down and tried to look out one of the other windows himself but only caught the aftermath of gravel dust that had been kicked up into the air by the mystery carâs tires.
âYou two wait here,â Bernie said. âItâs just one of them, it looks like.â
âWho do you thinkââ Leah started to ask, but Bernie was already out the door, gun raised and ready, boots thudding down the porch steps.
Lance took a few steps closer to the door, hearing the sound of a rattling car engine, which idled and whined for a few seconds before it cut off completely.
Something familiar about that noiseâ¦
âWhoa, dude! What the actual fuck!â Somebody yelled.
Oh crap! Lance thought, and then he was out the door and jogging quickly down the steps and around the side of the house, where he found the beat-up Oldsmobile parked next to Leahâs Beetle and Alexa with her face flushed with anger and her hands raised in surrender. Bernie didnât have the gun pointed at her, but instead its barrels rested casually across his forearm as he surveyed the hunk-of-junk car and clearly frustrated woman who had just arrived at his house.
When Alexaâs eyes met Lanceâs and she visibly relaxed a little, Bernie said, âYou know her?â
Lance nodded. âYes, sir. Sheâs with us.â
âSee!â Alexa said. âCan I put my hands down now?â
Bernie grunted his concession.
âI apologize, sir,â Lance said.
