Chapter 51: The Drive Out West

The blush of dawn greets me in the rear-view as I push the pedal down and make the best time I can on the Florida interstate. We're almost to Louisiana, but my hands want to steer north. It's only a half day's drive to Pennsylvania, to Wilding Springs. But it's almost thirty more hours to Los Angeles. I'm insane, thinking I can do this on my own. I don't even have to drive, I can just open my shields and call for Syd. She'll be here in moments.

But I can't. She has her own Council to listen to, her own laws to follow, despite her insistence on autonomy. I won't risk her family, or mine, not until I have the proof I need of Caine and his pack's revenant status and, hopefully, a cure for Sage.
