The guest had told the girl that his friend in Las Vegas, Mary, would help them out but hadn’t been able to get in touch with her so far. The girl desperately hoped that the guest would hear from Mary or would decide just to go to Vegas instead. She gave him that option before they left Cordele. He decided he would head west with her to Utah but said as soon as he heard from Mary they were headed to Vegas. By this time the girl knew she was going to Utah no matter what but she didn’t say anything.
That last night in Cordele was very sad and miserable. The guest got really sick. They went to dinner that night and he was really sick. He kept asking where the puppy was and said he was taking leftovers to the puppy. The girl sat in the restaurant with tears in her eyes. She was sad over losing the puppy and she was watching the person she cared for getting really sick in front of her. She was sure that night she was going to have to call an ambulance and have him taken to the ER. No matter what happened though she knew she was going home. Even if he went to the hospital, she was getting on a bus the next day.
That night was very long and the girl was such that the guest would quit breathing and to be honest, a part of her hoped he would get so bad that she had to call 9-1-1 and could go home by herself. She cared about this person but she was so tired from everything that had happened.
The next morning the guest was still sick but less so than the night before. He was no longer drooling and had his memory again. The girl had really hoped that the guest was not going to join her going home.
Before they headed to the Pilot the guest told her that he was going west with her but that he didn’t want to go to Utah. He would travel west with her until he heard from Mary and then they would go to Vegas. The guest was very sure of himself and he was sure he was still in charge of their destination.
