I looked out the window, and this time, I didn’t

see the truck. But I knew those guys were hiding

somewhere and were just trying to draw us out.

So we snuck out the back door, hopped over

Gramma’s fence, and ran all the way to Snake

Road. I figured our chances were better there

because there aren’t any streetlights.

Snake Road is scary enough on its own without

having a truckload of teenagers hunting you

down. Every time we saw a car coming, we dove

into the bushes. It must’ve taken us a half

hour to go 100 yards.
