Daw had a thought and asked. “How come there’s no women?”
“We haven’t run into any that have needed our help,” Brody replied. “Not to say they aren’t out there, but we haven’t been in the right place at the right time to find them.”
“That brings up a question,” Tonio said. “You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.”
“Bet I can guess what it is. Yeah, I am, just like the rest of you.”
“Dead?” Kurt’s smile was pure innocence.
“That, too.”
At that point, after laughing with the rest of them, Brody said, “I’ll be back soon. I need to pay a visit to our hosts—” and left.
“Your hosts?” Daw asked.
“Mike and Sage. They own the house. They bought it because of this.” Jon swept an arm around. “So we’d have a decent place to live for once.”
“What does that mean?”
“Well…” Jon went on to explain about the barn, with the others pitching in.
