Megan mulled over the many ways they could make life at the lodge hell for the current inhabitants. They were thinking of small irritations and avoiding anything too serious that would make the lodge unsafe to live in. The goal was to retake their home, not destroy it.

Her hands were cramped from gripping the knife so tightly as she skinned the muscle and sinew away from the bear hide. She stood, arched her back and stretched her arms above her head, looking towards the lodge. Her heart was there and she constantly found herself thinking about what she would be doing right now if they were at home. If everything were the way it should be and they were all together.

A trail of smoke snaked into the air in the distance. Megan instantly went on alert. Fire in the forest when there were no firefighters to call would be devastating. It would rage for the foreseeable future until it burned itself out or the snow fell.

“Fire?” she said it aloud, trying to make sense of what she was seeing. Sure, they’d all seen chimney smoke, but it was still warm out. Was it a fire in a pit that had gotten out of control?

“What?” Wyatt called out, coming to stand next to her.

She pointed in the direction of the smoke that was steadily growing in thickness—a sure sign it was a growing fire.

“Oh crap,” he mumbled. “That's near the lodge. Or it is the lodge.”

“What? What are you looking at?” Albert grumbled, before pulling himself up off the ground where he’d been resting his knee.

When he saw the telltale sign, he gave a low whistle and shook his head.

Megan looked at Wyatt, confusion on her face. “What does this mean? Is the lodge burning? Is it a smoke signal from Rosie and Caitlin?”

She fought back the panic mixed with excitement. She wanted to run towards the lodge as fast as her legs would carry her. Both scenarios demanded she be there. Wyatt hesitated for a moment before giving a quick nod of his head.

“We're going?” she asked in shock, expecting him to be the voice of reason and lecture about waiting it out.

“I think we have to. There are too many reasons not to. If that is a fire at the lodge, it’s going to spread and we’re at risk here. If it’s a signal, we can't ignore it,” he explained.

Bryan, noticing the commotion, abandoned his task of gathering firewood and joined them. “Maybe it's a small fire. It would be a great distraction and we could retake the lodge.”

Megan liked his suggestion the best and decided she was going to cling to it like a lifeline. That would be the best outcome. Maybe the fire would have all of Neil's men running for their lives. They could defend the lodge if they could get inside.

“Who's going?” Albert asked. “I hate to say it, but I'll volunteer to stay here with Willow and JJ. I would be more of a hindrance than a help.
