The shiny SUV pulls up to the turn out just as I'm parking. I hop out and wait, glancing up the trail. I can already hear music.
"I'm very sorry," Maggie says, climbing out. She's dressed in jeans and fourth of July t-shirt, nice and normal like she was having a normal evening.
"That's the ugliest jacket I've ever seen," Doc says, taking one look at me. Yes, I'm wearing his jacket over my faded jack-daniels tank top.
"He's always like this," Maggie says, dismissively, as he gets what looks like a gun from the back of the SUV to put in his waist band. "Is that the way the Reservoir?"
"Yeah, Sheriff Tucker is going to be out here, I called him—he says there are a couple of missing kids today."
"Let's hope ours are out here," Maggie says, taking a breath.
"Yeah, they should be," please, please just be being idiots.
