They set out later for Centralia then intended. Enola didn't say much her thoughts too preoccupied with the whys, what ifs and what exactly would happen when they did find Coal. Nothing good she was certain of that and even if she didn't say it out loud it was written plain as day on her face.
Coal wasn't hard to find. Walking down the middle of Centralia's main road. He had his back to them and even so it was obvious that something had changed. He'd always been a big man with a stoop in his shoulders from being hunched over in the mines. He wasn't just big anymore he was damn near giant having put on a foot of height since this venture begin. There were cracks and fissures in his skin, like the asphalt beneath their feet bleeding the same kind of poison in the air. He looked less a man and more the deity carved straight out of a mountain.
He turned to look at them the same instant Enola reached for Ryan's arm to warn him off.
