Henry Lamb is the name of the owner. He gave Edgar a job as payment for staying, which was to clean out a shed which was filled to the brim with junk. Henry asked Edgar where he had planned to go, and before Edgar didn't really know, then he realized he was trying to get to Starchild Colony in Canada. Edgar finds Henry to be pretty trustworthy. They go for a drive and while they were out Edgar was a State Patrol cruiser behind them. After that, he resolved to leave the next day. (Changes over to Glen, the police officer). Glen and Claude go out for drinks and Claude knows that Edgar is probably to blame for the accident in the barn, but Glen didn't know this. It would be manslaughter. This sticks in Glen's mind. (Changes back to Edgar). On the way to Edgar's destination, they make a quick stop which resulted in them becoming victims of a tornado and something about the events of the tornado made Edgar change his mind about his trip. He tells Henry and they turn around and go back. Edgar recalls what Ida Paine had said. "Don't come back for nothing. It's just wind, thats all. Just wind". Going against that advice is definitely foreshadowing something bad. Henry dropped Edgar near one of the cabins he had scavenged from and two of the dogs had chosen to stay with Henry. Edgar and one dog, Essay, continued alone. As I thought before, the stray, Forte, came back more frequently and he and Essay bonded.
