The rain belted down relentlessly. The storm was getting worse. Will and Jane
were curled up at the stump of an enormous chestnut tree, while Spencer
crouched cautiously under a fallen road sign. They were waiting like this for
almost ten minutes when Joey and Levi appeared again. "Any luck?"
Jane asked, once they were in earshot. "Still no cell service!" Levi
panted. "We did spot an old empty house half a mile that way," he
added, pointing back up the road.
