I brush Dawn"s hand away and raise my g*n, this time directly in my father"s face.
“Gabby-” Dawn tries to say, but I don"t let her finish.
“Get out of our way. I won"t hesitate to shoot a man who means nothing to me.”
Dawn"s face strains, but she stays quiet. I push the man aside with my g*n and walk past him. Dawn follows me without another word.
“You won"t find the boy without help,” he calls after us.
I stop walking, but I don"t turn to look at him. Dawn turns and walks back towards him.
“Where is he?” she asks.
“I can take you.”
“Why should I trust you?” I demand.
“The water,” he says.
“What?” It couldn"t have been him.
“In the box. I made sure you survived. I brought you water. Is that a good enough reason?”
“How do I know it was you?” I would be dead if it wasn"t for that
