Everyone was dragging their feet. Morale was at an all time low. JT didn't know how long it had been since they left Greenville, but it felt like weeks. Since then, most of the time they walked. It had to have been hundreds of miles by now. For a few days they lucked out and found an abandoned vehicle that worked and had used it till it wouldn't run anymore. JT wished they had a car now.

The days had been getting hotter and they had been rained on all day and night more than once. We're probably quite the sight by now JT thought. Dirty, stinky, wearing the same clothes day after day. He didn't know what was at the top of his wish list, a hot shower or a reclining chair with a video game controller in his hand.

More and more he found himself secretly agreeing with Ashley. She whined at least once a day... Were they ever going to find someplace they felt safe to stop at? Were they ever get to sleep inside instead of in a crappy tent?

JT didn't want to approach any more towns, at least for the time being. He ignored Ashley's whining as best he could and ground his teeth instead.

He began to second guess that leaving the truck stop was a bad idea. He couldn't remember a time his feet hurt as bad as they did right now. Not to mention his back too, from lugging around all the camping equipment. He glanced over at Gus several times during the day, worried. If it was this hard for him, how was the oldest of them all holding out?

The road they followed started to rise slightly. JT, who had been just plodding along with his head down, looked up. He saw they were coming up on a bridge. It was an old metal one, painted green. He was about to say something to the group when Dusty spoke up.

"I see a bridge ahead. Cluttered with cars. Everyone take five while I go scout it out." Dusty started to trot off.

"Hold up there Dusty. I'm going with you. I don't think anyone should be going anywhere alone," JT said.

Gus dumped his pack on the side of the road. "I'm going with you guys too. You need a supervisor."

"Gus, that's really not necessary. Why don't you take a break?" JT said.

"You forgot to add old man in there. I want to go. Ain't you ever heard about respecting your elders?" Gus was firm.

"If you are coming, let's go, daylight's wasting." Dusty strode off.

JT glared at Dusty's back, then dropped his backpack and followed, with Gus beside him. All three carried their weapons. At this point they were like extensions of their arms.

"We need to approach the bridge at an angle, so we can get the best view of what's going on up there," Dusty said, as JT and Gus caught up.

The three of them headed off down the embankment and alongside the river, perpendicular to the bridge.
