"Barnes drove, I sat in the passenger front and Reams behind me. They started no conversation and neither did I. Since they had said nothing I worked ...n my smart phone doing e-mails as Barnes drove towards Washington.Not long after we crossed the city line the Suburban turned into a dilapidated neighborhood that could have easily passed for a third world ghetto. After winding through endless streets the Suburban stopped in front of a large rusty roll-up garage door and waited as it went up. But as I pondered on my own relationship with my mother, I saw my fathertrying to hold back tears. I had never seen him this way, and I wonderedwhat kind of person he was when she was still alive. Not that it wouldexcuse his behaviour now if he happened to be a better person when mymother was still around. Just 'cause you've lost your spouse doesn't giveyou the right to treat your son like he is dirt. But I guess that it wasgood to know that my father did have something of a soul in him."It is. She jerked her head over at me, caught off guard with my words. “I think it is.” and she said no more. I checked my line, noticing that nothing had bit. I decided to pack up my gear. “I’m heading back to camp, Clara. See you later.” I said. Clara gazed at me, and then back to the clouds. I noticed her hair was in a bun. She was very beautiful laying there, a thought that had never crossed my mind until today. I woke up to a zipper being undone. I figured Clara had returned and was coming into. The couple made a few suggestions about what Alice and John could visit on their way back, pointing out a few interesting landmarks that the landlord hadn't told them about.One in particular ended up high on Alice's wish list, apparently there was a waterfall close-by, which was extra large now due to the rain of yesterday. It would take them an extra day of walking back, but that wasn't really a problem anyway, since Alice and John had taken one relax day on their way to the mountain..
