Chloe blinked blurry eyes, unsure exactly what was wrong, but knowing something had changed. It took her a moment to realize the car had stopped moving. A rush of air and squeak of hinges announced the opening of the door across from her. Ophelia stirred from where she’d curled herself around Alex’s head, half her body draped across his neck and shoulder and the other half on Chloe’s leg.

She turned her head to watch Merek wrap the space blanket tightly around Alex before he hoisted the teen up and over his shoulder. Alex did little more than groan, but the confirmation that he was stil breathing was oddly reassuring. The weight of his head lifting from her leg made her limb tingle, and she flexed her toes to get her circulation going.

Picking up her familiar, she opened the other door and slid down to let her feet touch the cracked cement of a parking lot behind a cheap-looking motel. Except for a few feeble lights, the lot was shadowed and dark. Probably best considering the shape the SUV was in. Stil , standing around in the gloom made chil s run through her. She tried not to look at the bul et holes gouged into the side of the SUV, tried not to think about how endless the night seemed with only a few overhead lights to guide her way.

The muscles in her legs protested when she hobbled around the end of the car, one of her calves cramping so hard she hissed out a breath. Merek glanced at her sharply. “You okay?”

“Fine,” she lied. “Where are we?”

“A few hours over the border into Idaho.”

Hugging Ophelia tighter, she tried not to limp. “Which room are we in?”

“Numbers seven and eight. They have an adjoining door.” He dangled two sets of keys from his index finger. She snagged them and led the way to the nearest room, unlocking the heavy door and pushing her way in with one shoulder.

Feeling along the wal by the door for the light switch, she relaxed a little when the room flooded with brightness. She held the door open for Merek and watched him bypass the two double beds to deposit Alex in the bathroom. The pipes rattled in the wal as he turned on the water. Out of habit that Merek had dril ed into her, she shut and bolted the door and then closed the curtains as tight as possible so no one could see in.

Then she went around and turned on every single lamp in the room and opened the adjoining door to do the same in the second room. This one had only a king-sized bed. “I’l stay in there with Alex, and you can have the big bed in here. Then your legs won’t hang off the end.”

“Thanks,” he said as he appeared in the doorway. “I’m going to bring in what I can salvage from the car.

Why don’t you—”

“Get Alex hosed down so when you come back you can carry him to bed?” She slid past him to do just that.
