I woke up as Vivian mentioned my nickname. She put on a black coat, slacks, shoes, with her black rifle in her hand. All she wore was black except for her grainy hair and red eyes. She had wept throughout the night. I guessed. “Jack, we should be quick,” Vivian said. “Chris Drake walked under the CCTV cameras we trapped in Maryland.” “When?” I asked. “Just now.” I glanced at the girl on the bed.
