 Ch 25 pg 205 Haverhill

She rides her bike across the bridge to the sleigh house on the other end


Ch 26 pg 207 the other end of the bridge

it's warm and breezey here. she finds the nos4a2 car and there's a kid inside. On this side of the bridge she remembers all her other bridge adventures. she tries to save the kid but he hurts to touch cause he's frozen and he's on charlies side and calls for mr Manx saying he caught the girl.


ch 27 pg 218 a mudroom

she retreats into the house.  she is real worried that this is the end for her.


ch 28 pg 219 a hallway

long halway has green shag carpeting.   

she makes it to the front door and there's charie with her bike

she closes and locks the door and goes back to the kitchetn


ch 29 pg 223 the kitchen

she's gonna go out the back door but the frozen boy is there

she puts some towels in the oven with the turkey, probably trying to burn the house down

charlie pushes her bike into the bridge and Vic has HUGE head pain and the bridge is gone

charlie is coming after her, the oven is on fire and the frozen boy is trying to break the glass door to get in.  She ducks into the pantry.  

ch 30 pg 231 the pantry

She braces the door closed with a mop.  Charlie is starting to cough from the fire smoke.  He says come out and you'll be ok, or stay in there and die in the fire.  She doesn't come out so he says he's leaving, he's got other places.  

ch 31 pg 238 the laundry chute

She goes up the laundry chute to try to escape the fire.  It's a horribly painful endeavor, but she makes it up to the second floor.  Then down the stairs and after some hemming and hawing about where Charlie might be, she goes outside.

ch 32 pg 244 out

she stumbles out to the trees and slowly makes her way parallel to the road making sure to be careful in case anything looks her way she can duck down.  There's a motorcycle.  She yells and he stops and she gets on.  She says the whole deal and probably sounds like a crazy person.  She figures they must be at a high altitude.


ch 33 pg 250 above gunbarrel, colorado

they stop at a country store to call for help.  fat motorcycle boy's name is Louis Carmody.
