A young woman named Beth Kelly was one of those people caught here, but in an area that sheltered her. She made her way to a shelter once the warnings were sounded and waited it out until she believed it was safe enough to get away. She then made her way quickly to the San Fernando Valley where little radiation was affecting the surrounding terrain.

Smart and athletic, although the lack of food was detracting from her natural good looks, she was still a very desirable woman. She was hunted and pursued by the Slavers and managed to get away each time… so far. She was being driven north in incremental pushes to trap her by various groups in search of plunder and slaves.

She found herself in a small area in the High Desert called Jaw Bone Canyon after having crossed the valley. The area is just north and west of the small outcropping designated as a town named California City. It is a rock-strewn area full of snakes, scorpions, spiders, Gila Monsters, coyotes, and now, as of late, feral cats and dogs that once were household pets. She hid in the rocks and watched and waited as the bad guys, armed with all manner of rifles and shotguns, passed no farther than a hundred feet from where she hid. They had large dogs on leashes and the dogs howled and carried on like possessed beasts. Her heart was beating fast and she could feel the pulse in her forehead and neck. There was a little water left in her canteen, so she screwed the cap off and drank from the spout. In a few minutes they passed and headed toward the east away from her.

She leaned against the rock heavily as relief swept through her and she was thankful they were gone. She waited in spite of them passing, just in case there were any stragglers still approaching.

She needed to get out of the sun and started looking around for anything that offered shade. She guessed she was about a hundred or so miles from Death Valley and another fifty beyond that to Bishop. She wasn’t sure but was hoping that was about how far she still had to go and she longed for a map. She was in Tehachapi earlier, but it was crawling with people from Bakersfield, Fresno, and Los Angeles. As she hid from one group, she heard them talking and later, when it was dark, she made her way into the camp, filled her canteen with water, and left without making a sound. She thought if she could stay west of the rocky hills she was traveling in she could avoid the desert and keep going north for the final destination of her quest up in the mountains.

As a small girl her dad took her to this place he called an old abandoned ranch way up in the mountains and she was going to go there unless something stopped her first, either Slavers or death. She
