“What if he doesn’t want our help?” I ask.
“If he didn’t want our help, he wouldn’t have given us the clue,” Lexie says.
“I have to agree with Lexie,” Trevor says. “He wouldn’t have a reason to hint at where he was going unless he wanted you to be there.”
I feel my resolve kick back in. Trevor is right.
“Sorry I’m such a fucking pussy,” I say.
“Happens to the best of us,” Kat says, pulling me in for a one-armed hug.
“Kat,” Lexie says. “Have you heard from Brad?’
“No,” Kat sighs. “But that’s normal in situations like this. It could be as long as forty-eight hours before he’s able to take a break or reach out to let me know he’s okay.”
“That’s got to be tough,” Trevor says.
“It is,” Kat says. “I mean, I’m kind of used to it, but it doesn’t make it any easier.”
“Not to be an asshole,” I say.
“Asshole,” Kat says.
“BUT, can we get back to how we’re going to rescue Chance once we get to Rainbow Park? IF he’s there.”
“We’ve got about four minutes to figure it out,” Trevor says right before traffic comes to a total stand-still. Again. “Or longer.”
“What’s going on?” I ask.
“I think it’s the fires,” Trevor says. “They aren’t letting anyone through.”
“So, maybe Chance and Helen are stuck in traffic too?” I ask.
“It’s possible,” Trevor says. “But if I remember correctly, Rainbow Park is just to the east of us.”
“Like right now?” I ask.
“I think so, yes,” he says.
“How far?” I ask.
“Maybe half a mile—”
I’ve got the car door open and am climbing out before he can even finish his sentence.
“Remi, wait!” Kat yells.
“I’m coming too!” Lexie cries.
“Well, shit, I’m not letting you out of my sight now,” I hear Trevor say. I turn in his direction in time to see him pull his car off the road, passenger doors still open and climb out.
I head out toward the direction of the park. I can see the smoke in the distance, closer than I feel comfortable with. But I’ve got my entourage with me.
Somehow, that makes me invincible.
