„Daddy, wait!“ Rose grabbed for Smith's arm when he wanted to open the door to the old shed.
He squeezed her small hand reassuring. „There is nothing to worry about. I was here several times already; I know, it doesn't look very comfortable, but it's warm inside and it will offer us shelter from the upcoming storm.“
But Rose shook her head. „Something is wrong. I don't know what. But I can feel a danger.“
At her words, uneasiness was rushing through his body. He wanted to believe that it was only the fantasy of a little girl, but he did remember all too well this night, some weeks ago, when he had saved Kurdy's life. A peaceful night, no sign of any danger. Until he had felt that something horrible would happen; his instincts had told him to run but the voice in his head had gotten loud and louder.
No, he didn't regret that he had saved Kurdy; Kurdy was a good guy. But his life had changed in this night. The voice was a part of him now, and the things he felt and saw sometimes were hard to endure.
He looked down at his daughter and when he noticed the open panic in her eyes he knew he had to make a decision. „Okay,“ he said. „I guess we can make it to the Mountain before the storm breaks out with full force. A friend of mine is living there. Kurdy. You will like him.“
Her relief was so highly visible that Smith couldn't hide his smile. Even if spending time at the former subterraneous military laboratory would probably bring him even more nightmares, as long as Rose would find some peaceful rest, he was willing to deal with it.
