Chapter 25
She climbed into the cab and melted into the seat, closing her eyes and letting out a long sigh. Vic climbed up into the driverâs seat, and Erin could feel Vic looking at her.
âSo⦠you at least had a conversation. How did that go?â
âTry the next road over. We might get lucky.â
âWe might, or we will?â
âI donât know if itâs the next one or not, but weâre going in the right direction. Weâll get to them sooner or later.â
Vic put the truck into gear, turned it around in the little clearing, and headed back out on the road that was too narrow for even the truck by itself. Erin hated to think of what would happen if they encountered a vehicle coming the other direction. There wasnât exactly room for either one to pull off to the side. One of them would have to drive in reverse until they reached a point where one could pull over or pass.
Luckily, they didnât meet any other vehicles coming the other direction. They drove on, found the next access road, and tried it. They came to the end of the road pretty quickly. Erin looked around, searching the trees for any sign of the family or a tent or a vehicle, but didnât see anything. âNot this one, I guess.â
Vic turned around and again headed back out to the road. Erin caught her looking at the fuel gauge.
âJust checking,â Vic said lightly. âGotta make sure we have the gas to get back home again.â
âYes. I wouldnât want to break down around here.â
âWho knows how long it would take to get a tow truck or someone with a gas can out here. And to direct them to the right placeâ¦â
âMaybe we should have brought Terryâs truck. At least it has a GPS locator.â
Vic laughed. âYeah. Somehow, I think we might have gotten another call from himâ¦â
Erin had to chuckle too. Terry had not been happy when she had taken his truck out of town previously without his permission. They hadnât gotten a call from Willie complaining about them going out of town, but Vic had probably told him where they would be going. Erin wouldnât put it past him to have a locator on his truck too.
Trucks were expensive. It was an appropriate anti-theft measure. Not to mention, it could help them out if there were ever a day when he didnât come home from checking out a claim.
Erin shuddered, remembering the last time that had happened. It had not been fun for any of them. At least he had recovered.
