Chapter Fourteen

Rae jumped from the cab of her truck and whistled for Bear as we pulled up at the farmhouse. It had taken us two hours to drive out here—to the ass-end of nowhere. No wonder this place was deserted. How anyone had managed to survive out here, let alone run a farm, was beyond me.

The old barn had been blown apart, but the cellar beneath was still there, and Jordan tossed debris aside to allow Bear access. I couldn't contain the chuckle at the sight of Bear trying to fit through the narrow doorway; it simply wasn't going to happen. Instead, he stuck his head inside, and we could hear him sniffing and snorting as he dragged in the scents.

"How will he know which scent to follow?" I asked Rae.

She stood with her arms folded across her chest, legs planted, patiently waiting. "You know, I don't know exactly how it works," she began, "but it's like Bear knows what I want. Like he understands me. Maybe he does; maybe he understands English but can't speak. Or we have some strange connection because ever since he chose me, no matter where I am, he can find me."

With a loud snort, Bear pulled his head out and shook, dust flying from his fur, forcing us to raise our arms to shield ourselves from the sandstorm he unexpectedly unleashed.

"You got it, Bear?" Rae asked, rubbing her hand up and down the giant dog's snout. "Can you find the witch, baby? Take me to her?"

Bear barked, and the ground trembled beneath our feet. "Good boy," Rae cooed. "Let me up, and we'll go get her." Bear lay down and let Rae climb onto his back, her fingers gripping his fur tightly. He was bigger than any horse, and she looked ridiculously small on his back.

"Hold on. I'm coming with you." Jordan vaulted up behind Rae, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Shit! They're going to be fast. Turn your trackers on!" I yelled, sprinting for my truck, Brax one step ahead of me. Bear was off and running before I'd even turned the key in the ignition. Slamming the car into gear, I peeled after him, dirt and rocks flicking up from the spinning tires. Fishtailing down the dirt road, I peered ahead, trying to keep my eyes on the dust cloud that was Bear, but it was impossible. Night had fallen, and I could only see so far, even with the spotlight mounted on the front of the truck.

Brax punched in something on the GPS. "I've got them," he told me, and I switched my attention from trying to physically see Bear to following the red dot that appeared on the GPS. All of us wore trackers; they were implanted in the watches on our wrists, but for privacy, we only activated them when on a mission.

The drive was wild. Veering off the road, I threw the truck into four-wheel drive and bounced over abandoned fields, through a disused quarry, back onto an unpaved road, and off again.
