Her first thought was to walk.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not like she can just take mom\u2019s car and drive. First because she doesn\u2019t know how to drive, and second because Amelia took the car when she went out before disappearing. Claire hasn\u2019t seen it anywhere, even on those\u00a0occasions\u00a0where she left the motel and wandered around town. The whole not being able to drive part also stops her from just stealing someone else\u2019s car and going.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s now on the top of the list of things she wants to learn, that\u2019s for sure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So she goes right to the idea of walking. The fact that she can think of a dozen different dangers, both mundane and supernatural right off the top of her head doesn\u2019t deter her. It\u2019s actually Google Maps that deters her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Four days and thirteen hours of walking? Even if she spent part of it hitchhiking, she would still have to walk for part of it and that did not sound fun in the slightest. She doesn\u2019t have too many options but\u2026 well, she still has her mother\u2019s credit card. She\u2019s not entirely sure how much longer she can keep charging things to it, but once more shouldn\u2019t hurt, right?<\/p>\n

She can\u2019t do much from the motel\u2019s shitty computer at reception, mostly because she\u2019s still pretending that her mom is around even though everyone knows she\u2019s not. It\u2019s\u2026 a thing. So she books it back to her room and gets all her stuff together, and all the stuff her mother left behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t take long; she\u2019s been prepared to leave for ages<\/em> now. And then she is out the door and dropping the keys off at the front desk. To her relief no one is there to see her go, so no one is there to see that they were all right: her mom is gone.<\/p>\n

Kirksville doesn\u2019t have a greyhound, but she\u2019s spent enough time on google figuring out the closest station. Getting there from Kirksville might be a bit of an adventure but she\u2019s sure she can do it. And now that she actually knows where Becky lives she\u2019s got a solid plan.<\/p>\n

She pulls out her phone to let Becky know.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
