Wolf leaned back and exhaled. “How the hell would I know?”
With spinning tires they lurched backwards out of the parking spot.
Jack jammed the brake and shifted the stick into neutral. “I want to live with you, okay?”
Wolf nodded, unable to hide the wave of happiness passing through him. “Sounds good.”
He cringed as the gears scraped and the engine revved to blood pounding volume. Then Jack let off the clutch in a smooth motion, just as Wolf had taught him the day before, and they were trundling back down Hilltop Road, on their way to the desert southwest, and to warmer weather.
“How was that?” Jack asked over the climbing pitch of the engine.
“That was better. You’re getting the hang of it.”
“I hope the truck holds up.” Jack mercifully shifted into second gear and they rocked back and forth. “All right. Now just another twelve hours.”
Wolf smiled and leaned back, blocking out any thought of the endless stretch of highway that waited before them, not to mention the weather they would face on the way.
“One mile at a time,” he said. “One mile at a time.”
The End.
