Chapter 17

We camped in the hills of what used to be Medicine Bow national forest, my heart heavy with the knowledge that only an hour or two north lay the bunker where we’d spent the winter. It wasn’t just Emma’s misgivings that kept us well clear of the territory the Wyoming Collective had claimed as theirs. I wondered if they’d finished the wall they’d been busy building last time we’d dropped in, half an eternity ago. The weather was still mild, but I remembered from last year how few weeks they still had left to hunker down for the winter. Then it was just waiting until they thawed out again in spring. They’d had all year to plan, so I knew they would do well. Us? An entirely different situation. I was tempted to get on the radio to try to get some intel out of Dave or Kevin, but refrained. The less reasons anyone had to come after them, the better. It still rankled that we passed the coordinates that we’d left where someone might have joined and found the side of the road abandoned. Not that I’d had my hopes up, but still. They’d been our people. Obvious emphasis on past tense.

With the provisions that Jason’s people had brought, we were well set up, but that didn’t keep Pia from sending out two hunting parties. I munched my rations without much enthusiasm, sure that Nate would make me eat stew later if they caught anything. Perching on the hood of the Rover, I watched the bustle of the camp around us as people got comfortable, the promise of food and increasing numbers raising everyone’s spirits.

I expected him to park himself next to me, but instead he leaned in, his breath warm against the sweaty side of my neck. “You look like you could use some distraction.” He followed that up with a comical eyebrow wriggle that made me burst out laughing. Apparently, we were those kind of people.

Glancing at the nearest bunch of scavengers—who ignored us—I shrugged. “Got anything specific in mind?” Considering that it was Nate we were talking about, there was always a chance that he was jonesing for some sniper practice, not the obvious.

“You, up against a tree.” That still wasn’t a clear answer. I stared right back at him, letting him have a taste of his own medicine. He finally cracked, grinning, adding a succinct, “At least somewhat naked.”

Before I could quip more than a “Sounds good,” he pulled me off the hood of the car and started marching me toward the tree line bordering our camp, making me chuckle with his apparent eagerness. “My, someone’s got it bad—“ I remarked, but found myself pressed against the trunk of a spruce, him silencing me with his mouth coming down on mine.
