Chapter 14: Cedar Street

Ansel called Torin three times, and the phone rang out each time in an empty lot.

He pulled on his jeans and his grey rain jacket and called Jory instead.

Jory answered on the first ring, which meant he was awake and already worried.

"He's not at the house," Jory said.

"His truck isn't in the driveway."

"Dane lives on Cedar Street too, doesn't he?"

"The white house at the end of the block.

"Oh, no.

"I'll be outside Marsh Hall in four minutes."

It was three.

Jory's old sedan rattled down the empty streets with the heater roaring and his hands tight on the wheel.

"If he hurts Dane, it's his season," Jory said.

"I know."

"If he hurts him bad, it's more than his season."

"I know, Jory."

They turned onto Cedar Street, and Ansel saw the truck first.

It was parked at an angle across Dane's lawn with the driver's door left open.
