Chapter 19

Chip stepped closer to Dakota and snaked an arm around his waist. “I hope he remembers Howie and Buddy.”

Warren returned a few minutes later with two granola bars and some beef jerky. Chip shared his portion of meat with Howie.

Dakota walked into the darkness toward the south, scanning the area with his night-vision goggles. He hadn’t expected to see Buddy, but was certain the coyote was in the vicinity. At least there was no sign of any scavengers.

After a short sleep, Dakota and Chip set out with Warren leading them as soon as it was light enough to see the landscape. The trek to the grounds of the Capitol lawn would take most of the day.

Warren asked Dakota about his life in Dallas with Grayson before the Harvesting. He tried to draw Chip into the conversation but the young man responded only in sullen, monosyllabic answers.

Only when Dakota spoke to him did Chip appear to come out of his funk. Warren shrugged and gave up trying to talk to him.
