I drove back. We found nothing. I sped through the forest, shining the spotlight to the side, a quick flash of light hitting Nappy's face, but nobody noticing him through the trees. I slowed down to a dirt road bit not far from Nappy. I called into the engineers radio. "Alright, get ready to seal up that fence." I turned on a bunch of interior lights in the humvee. I rolled down the windows and took out that one cigarette I never got to light. "Nice being out here when it's quiet."
