he scooped out the last of his tuna from a small silver tin.
    The room was lit by two lamps. Coraset went to sit close to him and asked, “Where did you find this?”
    “The boxes,” Rudy said as he pointed his finger around the room. He set the tuna aside and began eating the crackers.
    Coraset opened the package, and she pulled out beef with black beans. She didn’t realize how hungry she was until she started eating.
    “Where did the boxes come from?” She asked.
    “ I don’t know. Maybe, the prison had people out here at one time.” He said as he reached for a small container of water that was behind him. He gave it to Coraset.
    “Thanks,” Coraset said.
    “Sure,” Rudy remarked. “Coraset, can I ask you a question?”
    “I supposed so,” she answered.
    “How did you kill all those guys and crash the bus?”
    “I only killed the big dude. The bus driver and the guy up the road killed each other. The bus flipped when the driver was trying to get away from him.”
    “You handcuffed Dewey to the bus?”
    “Yes,” Coraset continued eating as she answered. “That’s the guy’s name? Dewey?”
    “ Yeah, did you shoot him, too?”
    “Yes,” Coraset started drinking her water.
    “They are idiots.” Rudy noted.
    Coraset didn’t comment. She was starving and thirsty. Rudy watched her a bit , trying to figure her out. Why was she wearing the orange jumpsuit? She must have killed someone, and how was it she was still alive? The Federation was intolerant of murderers. He noticed her green eyes and long ponytail. He figured she was older than him but that didn’t take away from her beauty.
    She happened to catch him staring, and Rudy reacted by standing and going to a box to get wet wipes. He sat back down, started pulling two out at a time and wiping down his hands and arms.
    “How did you get out here, Rudy?” Coraset asked.
    “I was released from prison with those guys early this morning. I thought we were headed to Baker, but the bus dropped us out here instead.”
    “ When did you find out they were going to kill me?”
    “ They talked about it after we got here.”
    “ Did they say anything about the warden?”
    Rudy answered, “ I heard them say that the warden wanted you dead, but they didn’t say why. They also said that the warden promised he’d get them out of here and set them up in Selatan once they took care of you.”
    Coraset was satisfied that she knew the truth behind the inmates and the warden and decided to put those men out of her mind. They were no longer a problem anyway. She finished her food and cleaned herself up with the wet wipes Rudy brought out.
    “You know, we’re stuck here. The warden isn’t going to send anyone to pick us up. I tried to tell those guys the same thing, but they wouldn’t listen to me.”
    “ I wasn’t depending on the warden anyway. I am getting out of here regardless.”
    “How? There’s no bus coming, no taxi-”
    “ Walking, Rudy, that’s the only way.”
    “Do you know how long the walk will take?”
    “Probably 12 hours, and I figured if I leave at nightfall tomorrow, I’ll make it there before the sun rises.”
    “I want to go with you, Coraset.”
    “I figured you would.”
    “Where are we headed?”
    “We have to get to the prison first.”
    Rudy jumped in front of her with renewed hope and asked, “Okay, so after we get to the prison, then what?”
    “ I’ll get us a ride and we’ll head to Baker.” Coraset answered.
    “ Where are we headed after we get to Baker?”
    “ I’m going to the Barat Region,” she answered before scrubbing her face.
    “ That’s where I need to go, too. Why don’t we just drive all the way there?”
    “Because I plan on stealing a car, and we don’t want to be caught with it,” Coraset answered as she cleaned up the mess she made. She tossed everything in an open box of garbage. “I have another way back to Barat. It’s safer. We just need to make it to Baker before the late
