“No!” Will roared. “Come on!” he shouted to Cole.

The two men took off in the direction the sound came from. They raced down a leafy hill, running as fast as they could. Even if the radio wasn’t working, maybe Fields heard the shots and came after all. If so, there was a chance the ranger could drive them to safety.

To Cole’s horror, the sound continued to drift away.

“Fields!” Will shouted, abandoning any effort to remain silent.

Cole lumbered down the hill above him, slowed by his lack of vision. The sound was now almost out of earshot. As a last-ditch effort, Will stopped and discharged the shotgun into the air. It might bring the killer in their direction, but surely Fields would have to hear it. Cole caught up with him, and the two men continued running, hoping for a rescuer to materialize in the woods.

The sound of the engine finally died away. Cole kept racing blindly, unable to see anything other than his friend’s image.

Without his glasses, he never saw the shimmering metal buried in the leaves.

Metal snapped up, and what felt like knives ripped into his leg just above the foot. Cole’s scream echoed across the night sky.

Will turned around in time to see his friend go down. Cole whimpered on the ground, his face marked by an expression of agony. He had stepped on a bear trap.

The lonely cabin was cast in shadow by the mountain peak above. There were other cabins strewn across the mountains, but each was located almost a mile away from the next. Each cabin sat in solitude, waiting for a new visitor to set foot inside. The cabin closest to the injured man was fairly large, an impressive wooden structure resting under the pale light of the moon. Built over fifty years ago, the cabins had languished in disuse for a long while. Despite the lack of customers, they remained looked after in case someone came looking to rent.
