CHAPTER TWELVE

* * *

Spencer had slept a solid six hours after building a substantial fire and soothing his hunger with a freeze-dried meal that he mixed with snow and warmed up in a collapsible pan. When he rose before dawn, he was glad to see and hear that the storm, which had howled and swirled at the opening of the cave, had subsided. It had dumped a significant amount of snow on top of the already-deep layer underneath, and Spencer hoped that his snow shoes wouldn’t sink in too deeply in the fine powder. There was plenty of snow that he could melt to drink, so he ate a protein bar while he turned snow into water, then drank the water and headed out into the pre-dawn darkness, his headlamp switched on high.

Because of the deeper new powder snow, slogging through on the snowshoes was a bit more difficult, but he still made good progress, and barring any other unusual weather events, he’d most likely reach the broken wing just after sunrise. His compass was in the front pocket of his parka, but he preferred to select landmarks in the distance to walk toward, only checking the compass occasionally to make certain that he was on track. This technique would seem more difficult in the dark, but he merely chose clumps of trees that were within the scope of his headlamp, then moved on to the next.

The sun rose, turning the blinding white landscape into a field of diamonds, glittering with an intensity that made him glad he’d brought goggles with extra UV protection. Plodding along, hearing only the sounds of his shushing snowshoes, his heartbeat, and the steady, even sound of his own breath, Spencer saw a spot of blue in the snow ahead, just outside a huge swath of trees, and his heart leaped, spurring him to move faster. He’d found the wing. The rest of the plane had to be nearby.
