"We're going to track down the giants and hopefully find your father."
"Cool!" Derek said excited to go monster hunting.
"I think that's the right call Beth." Lisa said knowing her dad was thinking the same thing.
"Hopefully Dad's not too angry we followed him." Nicole said.
As much as it pained Beth to say she knew that in order to locate Steve their best option was to track down the giants themselves. Steve would probably kill her if he knew Beth was putting his kids lives at risk to find him, but what choice did she have? What would any of their lives be without Steve in them?
Beth had to make a tough call and decided to go with her gut instinct. Hopefully she was right.
"So where are we starting our search Beth?" Lisa asked from the front seat.
"Well your mother and Erica were last sighted heading into the woods last night. I figured we drive over to the outskirts and see if we can find any signs of them."
"Derek, you're in charge of searching for any of the latest videos to see if their on the move."
"You got it Beth." The teen said as he began to scroll.
"What if we find them and Dad's not there? Are we going to go with Mom and the scary lady?" Nicole asked.
Nicole's brother and sister both stared at the girl like she had broken some unwritten rule.
Beth hadn't thought of that. She saw the giants as a means to an end, that end being finding Steve. Pretty hard hitting question from a 6th grader. It opened up a floodgate of even more questions.
"How would Debbie react to seeing her kids?"
"How would the kids react seeing their mom as a giant?"
"What would Debbie do to her if she suspected that she and Steve were having an affair?
That last one made Beth sink down her driver's seat a bit. Remembering where she was and that she had to appear in control for the kids sake she quickly straightened up.
"We'll worry about later Nicole." Beth said giving a non answer and hoping it would satisfy the girl.
"Over my dead body." Beth thought to herself.
They drove in silence for a while after that. Everyone in the car perked up once they saw the buildings and shops replaced tall trees of green that flanked both sides of the car. The air was thick with anticipation and the passengers became restless. They were getting close. Each of them itched for some hint of the giants presence. Some sort of lead to follow.
"We're coming Dad." Lisa said.
"Cool!" Derek said excited to go monster hunting.
