WINIFRED…
She says we’ll need to stop soon,Grey sent me.
Stop? That made no sense.
“How close are they, Gabby?” I asked.
“About thirty miles behind us. I’m not sure if they have our scent or if they just know we’re on this road.”
“Perhaps it’s time to detour. Is there anything close?”
Gabby looked down at my phone, using the map app and her extra sense to guide us.
“Logan, Utah would be ideal. We should get to the exit before they reach us. It’s out of the way through a mountain pass. If they aren’t following us, but guessing, they’d pass right by.”
“And if they aren’t guessing?”
“It’s a big city. We should be able to hide.”
“Do you really think she is leaking our location?” Bethi asked.
The switch in seating arrangement had been a necessary precaution.
“I hope not.”
How is Paul?I sent Jim.
In heaven, just like his brother and cubs. Michelle is the best for picking this place for them.
The place she’d selected was a high-end ski resort in the mountains just outside of Salt Lake. When Michelle had seen pine trees decorated with lights, an outdoor year-round heated pool, and suites fit for royalty, or a family who’d just lost everything, she hadn’t hesitated.
She doesn’t think they will look for you there. Everything else we’ve used has been cost efficient and low profile.
I don’t think they’ll look here either. How close are you? Will you meet us here or should we pull out and meet you in the city?
Stay where you are for now. We’re being followed by some Urbat and plan to stop in Logan, Utah to correct that. We’re only a few minutes from the turn off.
Stay safe.
“Text Michelle and let her know that her brothers are doing well and love the resort she picked for them,” I said to Gabby.
“Wish I was at a resort,” Bethi grumbled.
“We’re going five star when this is done,” Luke promised her.
She snorted. “I doubt it. You heard what she said. It won’t be okay.”
Luke sighed. I could smell his frustration and annoyance. I knew neither were at Bethi. That was the other reason I’d put Olivia with Grey. Bethi had enough of her own negativity. She didn’t need Olivia adding to it.
“It will be what it will be, Bethi. You’re not facing this alone,” I reminded her.
She sighed, and Luke grunted.
“She’s out again,” he said. “I hope this ghost lady gives her the damn answer soon. I’m going crazy seeing her like this.”
“We’ll take care of her, Luke.”
“Take the next exit, Sam,” Gabby said.
