The Romance of Travel

If I'm important to Bay and Creek, it likely means that I am troublesome to Thistle. That would explain perhaps why I was targeted so early on in my search by that creature. But Thistle wouldn't give up just because they missed me once. If I'm important enough for them to target, then I am still a target. This will must still be coming for me. And I swear it was right when I reached that conclusion that I heard the car approaching the abandoned house.
