“It’s old, but it works. And Trevor knows a thing or two about mechanics.”
Mona smiled at Critter, clearly impressed. “How long have you been planning this out?”
“A while.” He tried to play it cool, but he was beaming from her approval.
Trevor got behind the wheel, Critter took the passenger seat to navigate, and Mona sat in the back with the duffle bags. Nobody said a word as they drove through the brush, cutting through the woods. Trevor maneuvered the old Jeep through the trees until they hit one of the switchbacks, which took them down the side of the mountain to the road that would lead to the San Juans.
They decided not to look back at their burning city. Instead, they focused on the road ahead. The road that would take them to their new life. A new beginning. Critter was grateful Mona Hendricks had finally come around. All those years waiting had paid off. He looked to the backseat. Although the dark blue bandana covered her nose and mouth, he knew she was smiling.
