Chapter 25

The expression on Buddy’s face elicited a wash of emotions in Dakota, feelings that had been damned up in the aftermath of the earthquake. Buddy needed him. Chip needed him. Gray didn’t.

His mission was over. He found Grayson, as he had set out to do. He was in the bed of another man. True, Dakota had dabbled with Chip, but he had never lost sight of Gray, even when he doubted Gray was still alive.

On the other hand, Gray had settled down with the colonel for how many weeks now? They both knew there were people alive and well in Dallas, but made no effort to contact them. Grayson was also aware that Dakota would come after him.

Did he hope that Dakota would bypass Oklahoma City and head straight for St. Louis? Hoping he’d be exposed to the harsh environment and the scavengers?

Why didn’t Welch urge him to return to Dallas? Did he want to keep Grayson for himself?
