Chapter Twenty One: Fight And Flight
Like Bevan, Dree strolled out the back door into the alley that ran the length of Town. He went into the woodshed and got his pack, pausing just long enough to put it on. Now walking down the alley again, he met up with Bevan.
So, what now?” Dree asked. “Which way do we go?”
“Well, Long Bay is northeast of here, so we’ll start out heading northwest until we’re clear of town. Anybody seeing us will say we went that way. Once we come to the creek west of town, we’ll cut due north for a couple of days.”
Dree thought that was a good plan, and was about to say so, when a man came barreling out of another alley and tackled Bevan to the ground. They began fighting and Dree couldn’t tell who was who, there in the dark.
