“You ready to go Luke?” I asked him. “Yeah.” Luke said as he walked outside. “I’m just gonna do a double check around the place, make sure we didn’t forget anything.” I told John. “Ok, see you in the car buddy.” John said laughing. I laughed a little as I walked upstairs. I looked on the two levels and didn’t find anything. Luke didn’t even shut the door to the attic. I pulled a chair across the floor and looked inside the attic just in case he forgot something. Nothing was up there, not even the sharpies. But I did notice something. There was a drawing with stick figures. They had labels under them. The labels were ‘me’, ‘dad’, and ‘mom’. But the mom stick figure didn’t look anything like Charlotte. I smiled a little. It was meant to be Emma. At that moment, I knew that Luke would be happy to hear about the baby.

“Alright, let’s go guys.” I said as I got in the car next to Emma. “Where’s Luke?” I asked her. “Oh, he asked if he could ride with Jack and Kaitlynn. I said he could.” Emma said. “Good. I’m glad he gets to be with kids his age.” I said. “Yeah. I am too.” Emma said smiling as she held my hand. I saw Becky make a ‘did you see that?’ face at John. “So, do we know where we’re going?” I asked before John could say anything about Emma and I. “Yep. We have a map. We’ll be in montana before we know it.” John said. “I went there once as a kid, it was beautiful there.” Emma said. “I’ve never been there. But I already know I’ll love it.” I said. “I bet I will too.” John said smiling. “What do you think, Becky?” John said as he pushed her a little with his elbow. “I’ll decide when we get there.” Becky said as she pushed him back. “Geez John, focus on driving.” Becky said laughing.

We were driving for about thirty minutes when we saw them. “Who the hell are you?!” I asked the person as I pointed my gun at them. “I just...I…” The person in dark red said. “....Answer.” I said as I put my gun away and stepped closer to them. “Just...don’t kill me...follow me...I’m from the labratory…” The person said. “We’re following you.” I said as I pointed my gun at them and walked behind them. I looked back and gave John a ‘What is this place’ look. “....We’re almost there…” The person said as we walked inside a room. I looked at the ground and saw 6 dead bodies.
