Part 2: It's A Free Country


Neal had been trekking California’s pristine coastline for nearly a week now. The scent of salted air and the soothing crash of waves had dulled, if not calmed, the impatient buzz at the back of his mind.

Even the steady ocean couldn’t still his restless heart.

He sighed and let himself fall, loose limbed, onto the fluid white sand.

Somewhere in his heart, he’d known that this trip had been an exercise in futility.

There was a future for him, printed in black and white. It wasn’t pleasant.

Eventually, he was going to get caught.

Eventually, Burke would catch him.
