Thanks to the ridiculous weather, the roads were slick, and Jack wasn’t keen on slowing down When we came to a stop in front of the park, the car skidded sideways, and Jack jerked the wheel The Lexus lurched over the curb, and slid across the slush covered grass before finally co a tree

"Is everyone okay?" Jack asked, looking around Bobby had hit his head on the back of my seat, but otherwise everyone was okay

"You’re a really terrible driver," I muttered I opened the door and stepped out of the car, instantly slipping in the grass I grabbed onto the door just before I fell to the ground, but I wasn’t boding well for hoould do in battle

"Careful," Bobby said as he got out of the car

"No!" Jack shouted He’d already gotten out, and he pointed at Bobby "You Get back in the car"

"What? No!"

"No, if you come with, you’ll only hinder us," Jack said "Stay here so you don’t get us killed" Bobby wanted to argue, but he had to realize that Jack had a valid point

"I’ll be back as soon as I can," Milo proly, Bobby cliive him a quick kiss

"I love you!" Bobby said, but Milo was already hurrying after Jack and h the center of the park It had been salted and sanded so it was rass

"Where is she?" Milo asked when he jogged up to us

"We don’t know," Jack glanced over atI’d have ical, like how did we plan on finding her, but I shushed hiet a read on her, but it was hard Even late at night in bad weather, don Minneapolis still had tons of activity It was hard to separate sounds

On top of that, I was getting really hungry I kept getting focused in on the wrong s than what I was looking for

"Ugh" I wrinkledIt sht

"What?" Jack froze and looked at " A cold wind ca it away, and I shookpark But it definitely wasn’t Jane"

We walked a little further down the trail, but then I started noticing the sain It wasn’t even a dirty sround and trees A hint of pine, and so familiar It reminded me of when the fair caoats in the petting zoo

I kept walking, and I had started following the scent, but nobody questioned me about it Even e veered off the trail, they didn’t say anything to me
