It's not the first question I'm expecting from him if I'm honest and I have to think about it for a second.
"It's a ways," I tell him with a slightly apologetic smile, but I start walking, hoping he'll follow. "Probably won't take more than a half hour or so to get there, though. You'd think with a train bein' here, there'd be a way out, but trust me, I've tried it. I've tried almost everything I can think of, in fact, and I know a lot of people who've tried even harder, but no one's been able to figure it out. Oh!"
I stop my quiet babbling when I spot a familiar-looking manila envelope balanced precariously atop a fire hydrant. Glancing back over my shoulder for only a second, I reach over to take it, scanning the scrawl on the front before I look up at him. "Well, the good news is we don't have to walk all the way to the train station," I tell him with a strained sort of smile as I hold the envelope out to him. "The bad news is this is gonna look probably a little creepy. Your name's Lee Fallon, right?"
