"The car had gone away.  There was nothing now, except mist in the hills ... and Max, Brenda, Tony and David (David who was different from other children) were left alone in the holiday shack at Lakeside, waiting for their parents to return.
The semi-trailer had pulled out of the city back-loaded with chemicals ... it went grinding through the hills and valleys at a steady fifty on the flat.  Speed It Thru Mac: that was the sign at the top.  Alison sat beside her father in the cabin, dozing ... until suddenly she jolted awake, pitched hard against her safety belt as the truck shuddered to a stop. 'Sorry, Love,' her father said, 'I've got myself lost.'"
