Chapter 37: Down With Haven!
It was surreal.
Derek stared at the horde of angry people waiting for them on the road, and for a single wild second he thought that they were not real. Maybe after all the problems with his sleep, his mind had finally snapped.
But then Emily was leaning forward and grabbing the driver by the shoulder.
"Drive! Get us out of here now!" She said, her normally calm voice frantic, her eyes wide.
"Down with Haven!"
"Down with Haven!"
"Down with Haven!"
"Down with Haven!"
As the crowd moved closer, their angry chants echoed. It made sense for Emily to want them out of harm's way. But looking over at the workers, a sense of calm settled over Derek.
"No, do not go anywhere. I want to talk to them," The twin looks of shock that were immediately turned on him would have been funny if Derek was not feeling as terrified as they looked.
.He undid his seatbelt, and ws about to push the door open when a small, smooth hand settled over his.
