He’d gone to bed dead certain Pat and Kim were going to show up at some point through the night waking everyone up trying to pull some jackass stunt or another but obviously it hadn’t happened. Either that, or Lizzy and he had been so tired from their unsuccessful search of the abandoned village yesterday that they’d both fallen into the deepest sleeps of their lives, nestled so far down the rabbit hole no one or nothing had been able to disturb their comalike rest. Rich wasn’t a heavy sleeper though, so although he’d been extremely tired last night, his vote went for option one—Pat and Kim simply hadn’t shown up. Leaving Lizzy to let her catch a few more minutes of rest, Rich quietly crawled into his clothes and left the tent. He wanted to check in with Dan and Kelly to see if either of them had seen Pat or Kim sometime during the night. He normally wouldn’t wake people up like this but Dan had said he wanted to get an early start on the day anyway, so Rich supposed it was okay to disturb them.
