тАЬThe roads are just starting to reopen. We donтАЩt really know where weтАЩre going.

There are rumors school is going to open again, and IтАЩd hate to be out of state if that happens. тАЬ

тАЬYouтАЩre going back to school?тАЭ

тАЬIf it opens, sure.тАЭ

тАЬWhy?тАЭ

тАЬBecause we have to.тАЭ

тАЬWe have to? Judd, what are they going to do if we donтАЩt show up?

TheyтАЩll figure we disappeared along with thousands of others. Anyway, if Bruce is right and thereтАЩs a
peace treaty signed between the UN andIsrael, weтАЩll have only seven years left to live. Why would I
want to spend half that time in school? To learn what? The world is going to hell, and weтАЩd be sitting in
class, trying to prepare for a future that doesnтАЩt exist. тАЬ

She had a point. Judd was a junior, but Vicki was a freshman. School did seem like a waste of time, but
Judd didnтАЩt know what he thought about breaking the law by refusing to go. If it came to that, he
assumed they would all go, Lionel and Ryan back to Lincoln Junior High, he and Vicki to Prospect High.

Judd had underestimated how desperate Vicki was to locate Bub. She had never met him, had only seen
pictures and talked to him on the phoneтАФthe last time the morning of the Rapture. Her brother had met
him when he ran off to work inMichiganafter high school. Eddie said he liked Bub at first because he was
a wild party kind of a guy. But then Eddie became a Christian. He wasnтАЩt able to persuade Bub to quit
his loose living, but he kept rooming with him any way. It was Bub who had confirmed to Vicki that
Eddie had disappeared in the Rapture.

тАЬIтАЩve been having trouble reaching Bub by phone,тАЭ she had told Judd.

тАЬI want to just go find him.тАЭ
 Judd thought it was a bad idea and said so. He even thought about telling Bruce, but the kids had agreed
they werenтАЩt going to treat Bruce like a parent. If Judd had known Vicki was going to just leave and
hitchhike toMichigan, he would have taken her himself. He hated to think of her out there alone on the
road. He felt responsible for her, though he knew he really wasnтАЩt. The four of them were on their own
now. They all lived together in JuddтАЩs house, sure, but it had , been their choice to accept his invitation.
The :тАЩ only rules were that they would always tell each other where they were. Vicki had fulfilled that
requirement.

Judd missed Vicki. There was no other way to say it. It wasnтАЩt that he was interested in her romantically.
At least not yet. He hadnтАЩt decided how he felt about her in that way.

But she was the easiest person in the house to talk to. She would turn fifteen before he turned seventeen,
so they werenтАЩt quite two years apart. Lionel was only thirteen and Ryan twelve, so although they were
boys, Judd usually chose to talk with Vicki.

But she was gone, at least for a while. He ; worried about her.
