Oblivion

  Jace knew Cameron had Lindsay when he failed to find either of them. Sal joined him and indicated she never returned from the yearbook signing. He ran in the direction she was last seen, standing between cars and looking high and low for her.

  He stared behind the many cars to the woods and knew Cameron had taken her. He started running, a blur through the field as he entered the woods, his vision at night better from being in Oblivion. He listened and strained to hear something.

  Panic for what would happen if he didn’t find her made him speed up. As fast as he was he could catch up with them. Cameron knew these woods like the back of his hands. They spent hours out here playing hide and seek as kids. Cameron’s favorite game of Bloody Murder came to mind and he grimaced.
