Oh thank god, Jess and Livvy are here! We spent all night catching up on news, not that there was a whole lot of it. Nobody has heard anything new from any of the big cities which is really weird in itself.
Livvy said the traffic going down Highway 17 was just insane. Which direction, I asked? Both! Where do people think they are going to go?
No idea, but there were also a lot army vehicles, even tanks.
David's words back at the coffee shop came back to me then, about people dying of an illness and then getting up again. Just how contagious is this illness?
Nobody knows how you catch it, but nobody has seen David since that day, either.
What about Frank? Frank Hesper? Did anybody talk to him lately?
Nobody has seen Frank since the beginning of July. His boat's gone from the marina and his house looks empty. But he goes across to the Slates every summer around this time, so it's not unusual.
