End of the Causeway - Sunrise, Saturday
Cowboy tradition held that at the end of the action, you ride off into the sunset on to further adventures out on the frontier.
El was no cowboy, although this could be considered some sort of weird Western.
As they rode up out of the rising sun, returning to the parking lot and then off onto the causeway, they were touched, for just a moment, with the sense of the sun's fire. These were people who had walked through a place very much like Hell the night before, and they had beat back the devil.
And you don't ride off for more adventures in Hell. Not how it works. You just go home.

He'd gone back to his lesser form as soon as he'd gotten back to Rosette, but she remained unconscious. At least she'd stopped bleeding, though. He'd stroke her hair in worry if he didn't feel like his hands were still filthy with the blood of all the men he'd killed; he didn't want to taint her, too. "We should get her help as soon as possible..."
