Reese walked outside, leaving Dr. Katy and the rest of the ER staff behind. It wasn’t until he was standing in front of the ER parking lot searching through the darkness for his car that he realized he didn’t have his truck here because he’d been brought in by the ambulance crew.

Idiot. That’s what happened when he let his hormones run wild.

He shook his head in disgust. Hadn’t he already learned the hard way that relationships weren’t worth the trouble? His ex-wife had left him for his best friend after cleaning out every last dime in their joint bank account. Three years later, he was still digging his way out of debt.

The last thing he needed was to start down that path again, especially not with a pretty redheaded doctor who likely made more than twice his salary, and then some.

With a rueful grimace, he focused on the present and pulled out his phone. He could try one of his DNR buddies even though it was almost ten thirty. He grimaced, hating to bother them on a Saturday night. But considering there wasn’t any sort of taxi service in Crystal Lake, he didn’t have much choice.

Gavin’s phone went straight to voice mail. Doug’s phone rang a half dozen times before going to voice mail. He tried George’s number, too, with no luck.

Where was everyone? Obviously they all had better things to do on a Saturday night than he did. Which was why he’d been working, following Boyle’s trail through the woods. If only he’d gotten there sooner, before the idiot had killed the cougar.

He scowled at his phone. So now what? The only option he could think of was to call the Hope County Sheriff’s Department to request a ride. The DNR worked closely with local law enforcement agencies—surely someone would be willing to help him out.

As if on cue, a sheriff’s department vehicle pulled into the ER parking lot. Reese waited for the deputy to climb out from behind the wheel before walking toward him.

“Hi, Deputy Armbruster, right? I don’t know if you remember me, but my name is Reese Webster, and I work for the DNR,” he said.

“Yes, I remember and you’re just the guy I’m looking for,” the deputy said dryly. “I need to take your statement.”

Great, he thought with a sigh. “All right, but afterwards, will you give me a lift back to my truck? The ambulance brought me in, and I need a ride.”

“I suppose.” The deputy didn’t sound too thrilled. “Let’s go inside. I need to know how the alleged poacher is doing.”

Reese wrestled with his temper as he fell into step beside the deputy, whose name tag identified his last name as Armbruster. “The poacher’s name is Marcus Boyle, and he’s on his way to Madison for treatment. He’s a confirmed poacher. I personally watched him shoot that cougar, and when I yelled out to stop him, he shot me. Feel free to add attempted murder to his arrest warrant.”

Armbruster glanced at the bandage on his upper arm.
