<strong>Robert Long</strong><br/><strong>Location</strong>:On the street moving toward the Barrens.<br/><strong>Tag</strong>:Maggie, Cern<br/><hr/><br/>“You’re a lot of help,” he smiled to Cern, “Sorry man. It’s just been a hell of a night.”<br/><br/>“The Barrens holds someplace special to us both. Hell I went there the first thing when I woke up…” Robert said. Patting her hand when she squeezed his arm, he walked with her, his own mind feeling at ease for going there.<br/><br/>Dropping the fire extinguisher next to the steps of the school, Robert kept looking around as they moved down the road toward the barrens. Listening to Cern try to explain what was happening, “You mean that this is some kind of limbo? We’re between our world and yours?” Looking at Maggie, “That explains why our families aren’t here. They are still in our world…” he stopped as they hide from some unseen creature. “What do you mean so many of us… You’re talking about Al and the others too aren’t you? What’s so special about the five of us,” he asked in a loud whisper while they were walking. “Is someone helping the others too,” he asked just before they stopped at the fence.<br/><br/>Surprised by how quickly they had traveled to the barrens, he couldn’t help but look around for signs of the train. Leaning closer to Cern so he could hear him, Robert nodded slowly before looking at the hole he had crawled through so many times. Turning to Maggie, he took her hand and gave it a little squeeze, “We can do this.” Letting go of her hand, he jogged across the road to take a closer look. Waiting until(if) she joins him, he slowly crawls through the hole in the fence.<br/>
