Chapter 84

“So, what do you wanna do, boss?” Craig asked.

I raised my eyes at the boss comment but didn’t correct him.

“Any ideas on a safe place to bed down tonight?” I asked them.

Craig opened his mouth then snapped it shut again. He gave a sly look towards Cynthia before he answered. Cynthia looked deep in conversation with Erin and Benjamin, but from her body language I didn’t believe for one second that she was ignorant to our conversation. Mouthing the word ‘later’ both men fell silent and didn’t comment on it.

Tossing around several ideas we ended up rejecting more than we considered.

“What about that?” Gerald piped up in the conversation for the first time.

His voice caused me to jump a foot in the air. Last, I had seen he was still sleeping. We had given him a pain pill for the wound on his arm and he had passed out shortly before we had hit the Four Corners.
