We continued to follow the road and we eventually came to a populated area. Gazzy fell on the ground and dramatically threw his hands into the air.
"Civilization!" he shouted, "At last!" Everyone rolled their eyes and shook their heads. Even my mother managed a smile. Hey, you gotta love an eight year old's imagination.
The gravel road turned into a paved road and there were small buildings about. Everything looked kind of old, but atleast there were people here.
"Tell me if you see anywhere to get food," I said. We continued down the road and looked at the buildings. There was a post office, a barber shop, and various antique stores. Nothing that offered any chow. I was leading the way so I looked back at the flock. They all were looking intently at the buildings. Fang was determining how safe this place was. I counted heads and stopped. Everyone saw that I stopped so they did too.
"What is it Max?" Nudge asked as she tilted her head to one side.
I recounted. There were only six, plus me.
Someone was missing.
