“Don't mention it, besides I have no doubt that we’re going to be on the road for a while.” Otis smiled before leaving the room. He went into his parents room, rummaging through the closet until finding the compartment hidden in the base. Inside was a box and a large jar of money. His parents were prepared for anything, even potentially losing their son. After finding out that he wasn’t normal, and being the paranoid conspiracy theorists that they were, they had planned for something like this to happen at some point in Otis’ life.
A knock came at front door, and it didn’t sound pleasant. “Penny!” He called, taking the money and box and flying to his own room. “We need to leave.”
Frantically he began compiling his own things into a large bag, taking only one spare jacket. He shoved his car keys and spare wallet into the jacket he was already wearing, just before another, much louder knock, came from the door. He ran back into his sister’s room. “We need to go.”
Note, keys, wallet.. that should be everything he needed on hand right? Dare he take his father’s hunting rifles?
