California Countdown

117

The clansmen come to within 100 yards of the bridge and then stop their machines. One of them takes up a pair of binoculars and views the area, while the other takes a long swig from a water canteen that is strapped to his chest. They exchange words, and then the one with the field glasses points towards the east and together they turn their bikes around and go back the way they came.

You watch as they disappear slowly. When you can no longer see them, you and Rickenbacker leave the barn and go north in search of a suitable place to cross the Santa Rosa Wash.

Turn to 339.
