As Lost As I Get
“Thinking was like pushing through thick, wet wool. What would Lee tell her to do? She should wait until she was sure the men were gone. If they captured her now, his sacrifice would be for nothing.
If she waited long enough, and then got back to the road, she could get back by herself. If they’d left his—if they’d left his body, and his pack, she’d have the extra food and the tarp and the sleeping bag. The idea of finding him dead on the side of the road was too much, and she half-climbed, ...half-tumbled out of the tree, where she fell to her knees and was violently sick. She pushed herself to her feet, her knees shaky. She couldn’t leave him there. She’d been prepared to haul him out by travois if he couldn’t walk—could she still do it?
How long should she wait? From what the men had said, they’d go check out the hotel. They’d find the room, probably. That room. They never should have left it. Zoe closed her eyes as they filled with tears, choking back a sob to try and stay quiet.MoreLess
