The car eats up the miles of deserted highway, the last of the sunset a sickly orange smear across the glass. Billy's voice, too loud in the quiet, tries to pierce the stillness. "So... who's next—" Carter's hands clamp down on the wheel, tendons standing out. His reply is flat, absolute. "I know who's next. It's you. I'll kill you if you don't shut up." Billy blinks, stunned into silence. Clear doesn't turn from the window, watching the pines blur into a solid wall of shadow. You, you, are crammed in the back, feeling the tension wind like a spring with every rotation of the tires.
