Last Exit To Springfield Novels & Stories

There was no other way to find out. “Okay, but then after we go there, we're going to see my brother. I'm sure he can keep us safe.” Nathan nodded his head slightly, as if unsure. I ignored him and turned back to the road. I guess I should know where we are. We passed a sign with how many miles until the next city. And it was conveniently three places I'd never heard of. “Sutherland, 32. Big Springs, 62. Sterling 135.” I think I remember Nina saying we were in the middle of Nebraska when she asked me about Nathan. All I had to worry about was traveling West until I hit Denver. Then maybe we could figure out how to get to the house from there.

**BRRRRRRRRT* **BRRRRRRT** I was quickly becoming more certain that someone was going to be killed tonight and, at this rate, it was going to be Zac. I sighed and looked back up one last time towards Kieran, a part of me not wanting to leave despite the situation. But I knew it needed to be done. “Until next time,” I said, not wanting to say goodbye. And I quickly exited the building before I completely chickened out, heading through a side door into an alleyway. **BRRRRRRRRT* **BRRRRRRT**

"I'm coming, man. Take it easy on me. Chill." Thirty minutes later, we were out of the room. The two guards who had come along with us from New Kingston were beside us in a jiffy. There, we ordered another Uber which arrived in due time. "Springfield road, just after the post office." The drive to the Springfield road was made in silence. Slipping my phone out of my pocket, I connected directly to the New Kingston Central news. There, the newscaster was a man today who introduced himself as Jimmy Girth.

“Like it’s… aware.” “It’s always been aware,” Emma answered softly. “We just weren’t ready to hear it.” Lira’s voice was low, almost reverent. “Then this isn’t the end.” Emma stood, slipping the pulse device into her hand. She looked out at the horizon, where the first rays of sunlight pushed the night back one shadow at a time. “No. It’s the beginning. The Last Signal wasn’t an ending—it was a warning. A threshold. From here, what we build will decide whether this becomes our greatest ally… or our final mistake.”

Alison sneaked to the room with a towel on her damp hair and a full heart, unaware that something new had begun, something written long ago in the stars by the Moon Queen herself. She looked at the crescent moon formed on her wrist, and went to sleep. Meanwhile back in Arvendale In Betha’s private estate, she slammed her fist onto a table. “He was spotted in a town near Cold Valley?” “Yes, my lady, the town is called Springfield” the spy said. “Then we're getting closer. We’ll find him soon.”

“Jericho, you know—” “You have a leak, Jack. Find it and I’ll come in, until then, I’m on my own. I’m dumping the phone now.” I disconnected the call and put the phone off. I broke the sim card in half and threw everything in the trash. I drove over the Mississippi River to East Dubuque and then crossed over state lines from Iowa to Wisconsin. I drove to Fairplay and past New Diggings. I crossed state lines again into Illinois and stopped in Warren to refuel and buy water.

And now everyone in the Tsa Clan is searching for me. I know that I can't come back to the Tsa Clan anymore and I'm going to some other city to escape their pursuit. But before going there, I wanted to meet you one last time. I am really grateful for all the great moments I spent with you, and I will always cherish you and those memories. But I want to make one last memory with you and see you one last time before I go. I will be waiting at the Brave Warrior's tavern in West of Grand City for you until tomorrow morning. Please come meet me one last time.

“Dane calling her his mate doesn’t rewrite biology.” “Hm.” That little sound made me narrow my eyes. “What?” “Nothing. Keep going.” I stared at him, but the hood swallowed everything. “You said news. That’s it? They left?” “No. Been tailing them since they took off. Made solid distance today. Almost sixty miles before they stopped.” “Where?” “Old river crossing. Found something there.” “Found what?” “An abandoned camp. One of ours.” Ice slid down my spine. “Ours? You mean The Community’s?”

David told Mindy that he wanted Celia to go to the high school reunion with him. Of course, Mindy readily agreed to that now. She wished that Celia would follow David closely. Where would she find such an excellent son-in-law as David in case something unexpected happened? However, David told Celia to wait a few days before heading to South River Province. He was going to Springfield first, and he was not going to take Celia with him for the time being. After saying goodbye to Celia and her family, David bought a ticket for the next day to fly directly to Springfield.

I have to go abroad, and Laras lives in Indonesia. ... After three years there, I returned to Indonesia. There is no intention to return to see Laras.
