Chapter 4: Blood and DirtJosh hovered in the dark. He should’ve gone for help, should’ve run through the forest or followed the road towards town. His stomach tightened at the thought of walking alongside a road where Jett could find him. He should’ve found a house, ask to use the phone, and called the police.

Josh had to get Sam away from Jett, but he didn’t want Sam to see the house swarming with cops. No kid should have to see their father in cuffs.
Traffic was picking up, not that there was much to talk of, but after hours of not a single car passing by, there now was one on occasion. Morning must be drawing closer even though the darkness was as thick as before.
