feeling it would have been valid if he could have remembered it.”
                  “You realize how much longer it’ll probably take to get there right, I mean if we don’t take a highway.”
                  Greg laughed and said, “Yeah it’s gonna take a bit longer maybe a extra half hour. But you know what the good news is?”
                  Aslin bit and said, “What’s that?”
                  “Well since you aren’t from around here I don’t think that it so much matters since you couldn’t get there if you were hell bent on going there the other way since you don’t know that way.”
                  Aslin smiled shaking his head and yelling through the back window where Clary and Jordan were sitting. “Hey Clary, have I mentioned that there is a very good reason why I never wanted kids?”
                  Clary puffed on his cigar thinking about it for a moment and yelled back in, “You know I think in the almost decade that i’ve known you that you’ve never brought it up so many times as you have in the past few days Aslin.”
                  Aslin cracked his neck and said “Well I just hope they don’t keep giving me reasons to say it is all.”
                  Clary laughed shutting the window perfectly content to not hear the banter coming from the trucks cab.”
                  Greg pointed to the gravel road and they drove the distance mostly in silence. Shaun thought of Ellie and hoped that she’d be alright. He stared at the gun resting between his legs and thought of Kristy and her head as the bullet made its impact on her.”
                  Aslin looked in the rearview and saw the expression on Shaun’s face. He was sure he knew what the boy was thinking about in one way or another. He’d seen the look on to many peoples faces and on his own. When Shaun looked up he saw Aslin staring at him. “What’s up?”
                  “It gets better.”
                  “What does?”
                  “The hurt...the guilt...the pain of whatever you're going through.”
                  “Really the nightmares i’m having aren’t going to be there waiting for me to go to bed every night?”
                  “They won’t come every night you won’t think of it everyday with every minute you are awake.”
                  Greg looked over at Shaun and nodded, ‘You to?”
                  Jordan looked back at the two and said, “Sounds like you’ve had a shitty few days run. Do you think that what your dad made can be fixed?”
                  Shaun shrugged, “You know as much about it as I do at this point Jordan. I’m not sure if they can cure people.”
                  “I know my dad is still running around, I don’t know what they could do for my mom he acted like he didn’t even know her.”
                  “They don’t man if you see your dad and they haven’t done the cure yet you make sure you stay away there’s nothing that you can do for him except put him out of his misery. Or keeping him from causing someone else pain.”
                  “I can’t shoot my own dad that’s effed up.”
                  Shaun took a long deep breath, “We sometimes are put in situations that we can’t control, sometimes we have to do things for the greater good of others and put yourself second.”
                  “Well that’s easy to say but.”
                  Greg cut him off. “Sorry to say man but you don’t know what you are talking about. Like you said we’ve had a pretty shitty couple of days.”
                  “So he had to.”
                  Shaun leaned forward speaking very clearly and very slow. “Remember bringing up the past now does
