Iyisha stood a few feet from the Land Rover, arms folded tight across her chest as she watched Marybeth sit inside. She just stared ahead. Face empty. Shoulders stiff.
Iyisha swallowed and looked away.
Malcolm stood near the corner of the building with Waldo. A map was spread between them over the hood of another vehicle. Malcolm's head was bent slightly, listening. Waldo talked with one hand moving over the paper.
She bit her lip, then walked toward them.
Waldo looked up mid sentence when he saw her. His eyes shifted briefly to Malcolm before returning to the map.
"This is legit," Waldo said, tapping the paper.
Iyisha stepped closer and looked down. It was the same map they had taken from Rick. The creases were deeper now. Dirt smudges lined the edges.
"So we're safe?" she asked.
Malcolm nodded once.
