ass!"
even. But he just nods and says, "I think that would be best."
    Will helps him out
of the car and leads him toward the vans. We all decide on mom and
dad's van so we can keep an eye on him from our position in the back.
I run to our van and dig out one of the boys sleeping bags, a thin
blanket, and a small but thick pillow and take back. I hand the items
to Will after he assists his nephew to the top of the van. He helps
him get in the sleeping bag, then wraps the thin blanket loosely one
time around his head to protect his face, yet still allowing him to
breathe. After placing the pillow under his head, Will reaches down
for the rope my dad is holding up to him. After tying him to the
luggage rack and satisfied Wes is secure, he climbs back down.
    Kim calls out to Peg
and asks her if she wants to talk to Wes before we get back on the
road. Considering she didn’t want to before he was tied up, why
would she now? And nope. She doesn't. She waves her future
mother-in-law off with one hand and continues her call. I see Kim's
body start tightening up and I know shit is gonna get good....bad. I
meant bad. Really I did!
    Kim flies down that
slope faster than I believed was possible for someone her age and
snatches that little bitch by the hair. Pulling it straight up, Peg
has no choice but to stand. She doesn't even have time to start a one
syllable word before her face is being pounded over and over by her
fiance's mother's fists. She drops to the ground completely
unconscious. Her future mother-in-law walks away, leaving her right
where she fell.
    Kim walks over to
the van, climbs up next to her son and admits in a trembling voice
what she did and how sorry she is. What he said to her made all of
us, well the conscious ones anyway, gasp.
    "Leave
her. Just go. You're the one who will protect my kids. She won't. She
never took care of them before, and she hasn’t since this
started. She's never cared about them or me."
    She
tells him she's not leaving her (why not?) but
she would still protect her grandbabies and her
son. So Dad and Will go pick Peg up, carry her up the slope, and
shove her in the car. She's still out. I'm biting my lip to keep from
laughing over her reaction when she wakes up and realizes she's stuck
in a very small space with the woman who just knocked her ass out!
    The rest of us
finish our business (you know what that means for me!) and load back
up in our vehicles. I ask Will if he wants to go check on his brother
and he firmly says "Nope" and I know to let it go.
    So now we are
pulling back onto the interstate, worrying about what waits for us in
the Capital City.
