Chapter 14: Chapter 13

It takes thirty minutes to reach the barn, and my feet are hurting a lot. Ryder slides open the door and ushers me in.

I hesitate to walk inside but do so anyway. Ryder's giving me a look, daring me to complain. It's best to do what he says.

The place is completely dark, and the air feels stuffy. Ryder then walks in and turns towards the wall, hitting a light switch. The lights come on, and it does a horrible job illuminating this place.

The entire place is empty. I take a step forward and notice in the middle of the barn stands a table. About fifty feet from the table stands a scarecrow.

It looks like it has seen better days. There's a bullseye positioned in the middle of its chest. The scarecrow is against the back wall of the barn.

I then notice a big, metallic sheet covering the wall behind the scarecrow.

"Come here!" Ryder barks as he places the suitcase on the table and opens it.

I didn't notice him walk ahead.
