Summary
“I’ll be back before you know it,” Shane’d told him. Carl had to believe him. He didn’t know what he’d do if he didn’t.
Carl leaned even further over the branch, determined to see him, to spot Shane waiting patiently in his dark blue sedan, having come back for him just like he said he would, because Shane wouldn’t leave him, Mom wouldn’t leave him, they couldn’t have left him alone, because he mattered to them, he mattered—
Shane’s car wasn’t there. They’d left him behind.
OR: Carl gets separated from Lori and Shane while they're watching the bombing of Atlanta. He'll never find them again, but it's okay. He can survive just fine on his own. He finds someone else, anyhow, a little sister, and they're going to be okay. They're going to be safe.
