CHAPTER 54

B y five, the large meadow below Pike’s huge A-frame was pretty much filled. He called his place a cabin, but it was about ten times the size of the hovel I’d left behind in Colorado. Rose and I took the Pathfinder with Maggs enjoying the back seat all to herself. Luke drove his minivan and I made a single snarky comment about it, but Rose corrected me, telling me that it was really practical and that Luke had pretty much been the taxi for Darius and Poppy and Mei and Owen and the Weed Brothers for years before they got licenses. And that Marley and Darius had labored over it for months to convert it to electric, and she wished they’d do the same to this gas-guzzling Pathfinder.

We parked the Pathfinder next to the vehicle which will never be mentioned by name again. There were a lot of cars here, meaning the town was pretty much deserted. It seems Ozzie had been held in high regard. For a brief moment I thought about how many people would attend my funeral and the sad truth was: no one. At least before I’d landed here in Rocky Start.
