JJ looked into her rear view mirror. She could see headlights. “That has to be Lisa and the others. She pushed the gas pedal harder. She tried to call Samantha, but there was no answer. She tried over and over for several minutes and still nothing. JJ threw her phone across the car. “Samantha, I told you this was crazy.” She could not make the car move any faster.
It seemed like it took hours to pull into the drive at the cabin. JJ could see the lights as she slid next to the house. Lisa and the others slid in beside her. They all jumped out of the cars with guns drawn. JJ led the way to the front door. Hannah followed close behind. It was unlocked. JJ motioned for everyone to split up and go around the back. She waited only a few seconds before she opened the door. JJ slipped into the living room. The coffee table was still littered with beer bottles. She began to make her way down the hall to the bedrooms. There was no one there.
Lisa and Diane came through the back door into the kitchen followed by Tristan and Alexis. The group met in the living room.
JJ holstered her pistol and walked to the center of the crowd. “Well, let’s wake up a pilot.” she said as she looked around the living room.
“I am a pilot.” Hannah moved closer to JJ. “I just need a plane and a destination.”
“Okay, the destination is somewhere in Lassen National Forest near Forrest Ranch, California. Where can we get a plane?” JJ put her hands on her hips. “We need to get going now. Diane, get Cameo on the phone. We’re going to need her help.” As JJ left the cabin, she noticed Samantha’s gun lying on the table and the holster hanging from the nearby chair. She walked over and picked up the gun and then the holster. “Samantha will miss this.” She walked outside with the others to the cars.
“Are you sure you know where you’re going, JJ?” Diane put her hand on JJ’s arm.
“All I know is Samantha said if he took her that is where we needed to go. She hasn’t been wrong yet.” JJ moved to the door.
“Just what the heck did Samantha think she was doing? I thought this was over. Davie was the killer,” Tristan said.
“Look, you can ask her all those questions when we find her, but for now we need to go.” Lisa walked out the cabin door.
JJ and Lisa rode together. They followed Hannah and the rest to the small airfield. JJ was glad it only took about fifteen minutes to get there. Hannah ran to the plane while everyone grabbed their go bags. They were in the air in less than twenty minutes.
