Chapter 41: Trap
"There's more than enough here to keep us going." Reid stares down the aisle of the gas station, blinking in the bright
fluorescents, amazed at the fully stocked shelves while Cole's mouth runs on. "We even found these." He holds up a pair
of jeans. They look new. "This must have been some kind of general store or something."
Or a trap. Reid's nervous mind screams that at him while he hesitates. "Have you touched any of this?"
Cole's smile fades as Milo emerges from the back with a candy-bar sticking out of his mouth and his arms full of
clothing. That answered his question.
"Why?" Megan slides in next to Reid, her little fingers finding his. It's the first time she's approached him on her own
and he is surprised but does his best to keep his fear to himself when he answers her.
"We're still inside the fence." He feels like a skipping tape. "We have no idea why the hunters left this stuff behind.
Maybe on purpose."
