CHAPTER 59

I-80, OHIO TO ILLINOIS

We arrived at the lake house at two in the morning. We slept for a few hours, showered, packed, then headed west again.

Past Toledo and across rural western Ohio and northern Indiana, extreme exhaustion set in. I wasn’t simply tired in the way that, after a long day, your mind and eyelids politely request some rest. This exhaustion was sapping my whole body, wrenching my already empty stomach, wearing down the muscles of my arms and legs, playing tricks on my senses. Tori slept on and off, which kept me from unleashing my most proven tactics for staying awake on long drives: loud music, louder singing, and slapping my own face. So I plodded on, squeezing in a few short naps at rest stops and downing a constant flow of coffee and Diet Coke in between. Each cup or can of caffeine bought me a few minutes of relief, but the steady dosage also sparked a splitting headache.

I fought through the fog of sleep deprivation to think through a plan. And one thing was clear: simply driving up Big Lute’s driveway was not the way to go. We would be dead within minutes of a front-door arrival.

I first texted Chief Santini at 6:45, not long after we’d crossed into Indiana.
