Chapter 11
Wanting to get away from the hotel and casino for a little while, Ruthie decided to drive around town a little. On a lark, she decided to take a picnic lunch out to Lake Tahoe.
While stopped at a traffic light, she noticed a small black box with wires, affixed to the dashboard just underneath the steering wheel.
Hmmm, what's this? I've played in Matt's car before, when I'd sit in his lap in the garage and he let me pretend to be driving. How come I never noticed that box before?
As the light turned green and she accelerated, she noticed that the display on the little black box indicated her precise direction. Coincidence? She was too smart for that.
Oh shit! Mom must have installed this thing to keep track of Matt. Now she's sure to find me unless I do something!
Ruthie pulled off the road for a minute, yanked with all her might until the box was disconnected, placed it underneath the front car tire, and drove over it on her way out of town.
She knows I'm in Vegas now, so I'll have to choose another direction....
Back in the plane, Annie realizes she is no longer getting signals from the Matt-tracking device.
Ah, I knew the black box couldn't fool Ruthie for very long. She always was the smartest one in the family, she must have inherited it from her Jewish father.
As she was thinking wistfully of her long ago love affair with Rabbi Glass, the raspy voice woke her from her trance.
Don't forget, you've got a mission: The Volcano!
Annie put her thoughts of Ruthie and her biological father in the back of her mind. She knew the young girl could take care of herself in Vegas.
With that Annie gave the plane a sharp turn towards the north. She knew what she had to do, and neither Rosie nor anyone else was going to get her off track now.
The raspy voice kept repeating in her head, if you feed It, It will erupt.
Annie understood exactly what the voice meant. She would have to sacrifice her two youngest boys, Sam and David to The Volcano. Lucy and Mary would help her by throwing them into the mouth of Mount Saint Helen's while the plane hovered just above. Then the fiery lava would spread over the Earth cleansing all sins and sinners.
It wouldn't be much longer until they were in Washington State. She yelled for Mary to come into the cockpit so she could explain the plan. Hopefully that year of stewardess training would finally be of some use.
