"What's so funny?" Greta asked.

"Look at us," Ethan said. "We're acting like six-year-olds instead of
mature adults!"

"A person can never be too careful at night," Greta commented.

"Traveling at night isn't as dangerous as it once was," Ethan remarked.
"The Raiders haven't operated in this area for more than a decade,
according to Dad, and the Army wiped out most of the mutants. The worst
we can bump into is a hungry rabbit."

"I hope you're right," Greta said.

"I know I'm right," Ethan assured her.

"I guess we shouldn't have stayed so late at Aunt Harriet's," Greta
mentioned.

"Why not?" Ethan responded. "Aunt Harriet and Uncle Brice are fun to
be around. We owe them a visit every now and then."

"I still can't understand the reason they live so far out of town," Greta
said.

"What's to understand?" Ethan queried. "They like their privacy."

Greta frowned. "Maybe so. But I know I would never live two miles from
the nearest village or city.
I like the security of having others close at hand."
 "The trouble with you, sis," Ethan observed, "is that you have a postwar
mentality."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Greta demanded.

"World War Three took place over a century ago," Ethan noted. "Yet
you, and a lot of other people, act like the war ended recently. You seem to
think that California is still crawling with muties and Raiders, when it
isn't. Oh, there are some, but they're confined mainly to the mountains
and the uninhabited stretches. The area around Aguanga is relatively safe.
There's no reason in the world a person can't live outside of town."

"You're forgetting the Vampires," Greta said.

"I'm not forgetting them," Ethan stated. "But a Vampire hasn't been
seen around here in a long time."

"They'll show up again," Greta declared.
