Supervolcano: Things Fall Apart s-3 Read online

  At last, he asked a question of Kelly with one eyebrow. She nodded. Colin broke out in a broad grin. He’d spent long enough here. Now he could retire from his retirement party. A last few handshakes, and he made his getaway.

  It had started raining again. “Never used to do that this time of year,” Colin grumbled, glowering at Kelly as if the supervolcano erupted because she’d studied it.

  “Well, it’s doing it now,” she said, and pulled an umbrella from her purse.

  They walked out to the Taurus close together, so the umbrella could keep them both dry. Colin remembered to grab a balloon off the sign in front of the car so he could make the cat’s day.

  After he got in, Kelly helped him fasten his belt. She backed out of the parking space and started home. They might not see another car on the road all the way there. Colin had no idea when he’d get into this one again, either. That was as much the supervolcano’s fault as the revised weather was. But what could you do? See what Deborah’d been up to while you were gone, was what. It made a good starter, anyhow.
