Reply #13: Railcar, Can't Sleep; Dawn Approaching Texas Border [View All]

[rwenos]

Three days later, your stubble scratching against the dirty window, you taste 72 hours of slime on your tongue. You're hungry.

Wiping your lips with the back of your bloody right hand, you text Susan.

MADE IT TO VN SAFEHOUSE YET?

The beep and reply take maybe ten seconds.

SAFE IN VN MORPH COMING U SAFE 2?

You key in, cursing the small keys. SAFE WILL MAKE VN 2 DAYS IF NO THUGS AT TX BORDER. And then you press the Send key.

LOVE U ROVE DENIES ALL ON FOXNEWS SHIT

And then there was no more text.

You stumbled off to the can, wondering if any of the other safehouses 'round the country have been hit by Rove's brownshirts. Then uneasy sleep, again.
