The drive across the lake had gone slowly. Due to the heavy rain, there was a remarkable amount of congestion for how late it was. Nancy didn’t mind, she had taken every precaution she could think of, and since all of the precautions she had already taken had kept a crazy night from turning into a disaster, she could relax now. She could trust Shilo, Sam, and Fedya to take care of packing up the gear. She could mostly trust Hsin and that friend of his to drive Wendy back home.

“Okay, we better drop Kevin off first.”
