Jackson said they should go by instinct in Gettysburg that night and to get some rest for the days to come. They should do whatever Meg thought they needed to that might lead them to the whereabouts of Lara Mayhew. When they stopped at his house to pick up Killer, Matt took her by the shoulders before she could walk inside. “This is going to be difficult. Concentrate on Lara. We’ll be stuck with the Walker camp soon enough, so tonight is the time to let Gettysburg talk to us. Remember everything you two loved there. We’ll do some of those things—and figure out why she wrote what she did in her note to you.” Meg smiled at that. “Okay. Road trip. Remember to play the Muppets, and I’ll be okay.” “It’s a deal.” And he did play Muppet music as they started out. Killer barked with excitement at the first song. “Dog isn’t so bad,” Matt muttered. * * * Congressman Ian Walker and his party had rented the old MacAndrew farmhouse, not far from the national park visitor center.
