The snow traces a set of tire tracks leading into the driveway up ahead. Look fresh.
I slow the truck to a crawl. I don't stop, though. That's just asking to get stuck. Snow's getting deep.
"Probably that FBI agent," Red says. Cradles his bad arm. "Maybe you should turn around."
"No one asked you, asshole," Sam says for me.
I glance at the time on the dashboard. Midnight. We've been on the road for three hours. Should've been less. The wind beats on the snow. Seems like each flake could come though the windshield.
And it might. That wind is screaming. This truck is shitty.
"To hell with it. I gotta piss," I say.
I give the accelerator a gentle nudge. The "low gas" light flickers on the dashboard. Good thing the driveway is mostly downhill.
