Last Exit To Springfield Novels & Stories

Speakers, noise, humiliation…an annoyance recipe that forces people out of hiding. She’d be out before 72 hours, I told myself, cold certainty like an order. There was a better chance she’d storm out pissed off than she’d step out because a man in a suit explained his feelings like a charity case. “Get everything we need ready. We will be leaving for Springfield as soon as possible,” I said. Lucas flashed that ridiculous grin that made me want to break his jaw and then reward him for coming up with this genius plan. “Boss… I always knew you were a lover at heart. She’ll be out in no time…trust me!”

“So we could expect anything to pop out at us then?” “I guess so.” She nodded, giving him a second to process what she’d said before she switched topics. “Cass also has a pretty good location on Spittle and most of the other escapees, and she thinks it would be pretty easy to go in and get them. They’re not that far. Lexington? I think that’s what she said. Missouri.” “Right. It’s not that far. Okay.”

“So we are. It appears that everyone in our situation has had the same conclusion that the sooner they leave here, the better.” He glanced at the note, reading aloud to them and shaking his head in astonishment. “St. Louis to New York City. St. Louis to Cheyenne. St. Louis to Kansas City. St. Louis to Chicago. St. Louis to Mobile. St. Louis to New Orleans. St. Louis to Minneapolis. St. Louis to Detroit. St. Louis to Tulsa. St. Louis to Fort Worth. St. Louis to Nashville and Chattanooga. Even St. Louis to San Francisco. All full.” Evelyn’s brows shot up. “Oh my word! For how long?”

A few miles flew by, and we approached the exit for I465. Then it became clear, as traffic moved over to the exit lane, and one car accelerated toward us. Nathan’s knuckles were white as he gripped onto the steering wheel and hit the gas again as the speed limit increased. The words “Thank you for visiting Indianapolis” flashed by, and we were out of the city. My hands trembled as the safety of population was replaced by the unknown of Indiana’s famous corn fields. Someone had to know. If we didn’t make it, someone had to know what happened.

“Lilly.” I blinked, tearing my eyes from the shimmer. He was watching me, expression unreadable. “You good?” “Yeah.” I forced a nod. “Just… saying goodbye.” His gaze lingered a second longer than it should have, something like suspicion,or maybe concern flickering behind it. Then he looked away. “Let’s move.” We slipped through the gate, stepping back into the wasteland. The road stretched before us, cracked and gray, with the distant outline of Chicago’s ruins clawing at the red tinged horizon.

Simon, on the other hand, needed to return to Metropolis. Later, Stephen's friends also came to say goodbye as well. Since Riveria was now in disarray, their families had only given them a few days to attend the wedding before they had to return. Stephen was reluctant to see them go but could only send them off at the airport. Before leaving, Andy glanced at the distant, barely visible Drakthorn Ridge. He would definitely get his revenge for being beaten down yesterday!

"To the airport." The car began to move, and I took one last look in the rearview mirror at the raging fire. Goodbye, Chicago. Goodbye to my painful past. And goodbye, Edmund.

Springfield, Missouri “Yeah, I just checked into a hotel,” Janet said to Sophia on the phone, careful not to mention that she was within walking distance of the Genovese casinos. “Did you speak to your father?” “No, he isn’t answering my calls or messages.” She pressed her lips. “Janet, if you can’t reach him, just come back, okay? Don’t do anything that might get you into trouble.” “Yes.” “Alright, it’s late already, so just go to bed and forget about everything. I love you, okay?”

“Besides, there is nowhere left to hide. Those ‘decoy’ camps were the places I had moved to and then we got found out, so I kept moving the camp. This is the last place with enough coverage to hide.” “The kingdom of Mazifik was the last kingdom to take before we were going to declare the planet as one of ours… So, if I know my father well enough, he is going to start bombing the Southern Province until he flushes us out, if he hasn’t already. It’s entirely possible that he has destroyed most of the kingdom trying to find us... Is there any way we can evacuate the residents and put them somewhere else for now?” Conor asked Nathan.

I continue to reflect on Angel , watching each vision closely until we get to the last night we met. "I'm hanging tight for the train." "I'll visit my grandchildren," she tells me with a fond smile. Who are you going to visit? "I don't..." Er... Nobody,... I finished saying. Abruptly, a squeak echoes out of control. accompanying stops have been removed ,” declares one topic, snapping my consideration off in a split second.
