Ok

I’ll update either this evening or tomorrow. Had a lot on of late!

”We met Barry,” said Charlie, hefting the bat. ”I think we know what he did. I took his bat so he can’t do it again.”

He sounded more confident than he felt.

Des heard her name and looked up.

”Why me?!” she shouted, finding her voice. ”I’m no more guilty than anyone else!”

”You find out real soon,” came the reply. Lawrence could feel the man behind him, the sour smell of sweat filling his nostrils.

In the distance, the sound of an automobile could be heard approaching.

“Garden of Eden stuff, but nothing more than that,” said Billy . “Just regular sermons, like they all do.” He looked relieved at Alex’s words, seemingly unaffected by whether they might be true or not. “Thanks. That sets my mind at rest a little.” Anything else you want to ask or happy to move on?

Lawrence cleared the blood from the wound, then stopped. The twin puncture wounds he expected to see, weren’t there!

”That’s the one,” said Kris quickly, not giving Malone time to back track. ”If we can have the keys, we”II be on our way.”

“Are you saying we’re gonna die?!” cried Bill. “I thought you were a rescue mission?! You’ve got guns, haven’t you?!” With shaking hands, he pullled out his hip flask, then thought better of having a drink, and put it away again.
