Chapter 15

Trinity

After my confrontation with Price, I went to my tent, intending to stay there for the rest of the day, but then he came by and asked, “Do you want dinner?”

Ignoring his question, I asked, “Did you figure out what happened to the gear?”

“You’re the guide. Are you sure you even packed it?” he retorted.

My mouth tightened. “Go shove your fucking dinner up your damn ass.”

When he walked away after trying to reason with me but failing, I lay back in my sleeping bag and gazed at the tent roof. I refused to speak with any of them until the next morning. When the sun came up, I’d be moving out—with or without them.

I had seen something in Josh’s eyes when I’d asked him about the radio for the first time. He’d lied to me. I wasn’t sure why, but I could sense it.

And if he lied about that, what else has he not told the truth about?

And why did he take my communication devices?

For most of the daytime, I could hear them running around the camp, but at sunset, it became quiet. I paced back and forth inside my tent, wondering what I was going to do. Then I decided I couldn’t take it anymore. I grabbed my pocketknife, tucked it into my pants pocket, unzipped my tent, and then peeked out.

The campsite was empty. They had built up a large fire, and the huge flames reached nearly ten feet into the air.

What are they trying to do? Burn down the tents?

I rushed toward it and threw handfuls of dirt onto the logs to tamp down the hungry flames before they ignited the forest.

“Fucking idiots. Where did they go?” I mumbled, glaring around the empty site. So help me God, if they get lost out here, I’m not sticking around to find their sorry asses.

I couldn’t hear them, and I didn’t see a trail leading into the woods. There was no sign of them. It was as though they’d just up and disappeared.

Since the campsite was empty, I wasn’t about to lose this chance to search for the radios and satellite phone. Josh had refused to do it, so he’d left me with no other option but to take care of it myself. I had no issues with going through people’s things. Growing up in foster homes, I’d learned there was no such thing as privacy, especially when it came to having anything of my own.

I started with Boyle and Owen’s tent, but I found nothing, so I moved on to Ian and Brian’s tent nearby, and it was the same deal. I took a long glance around the campsite again before I unzipped Maggie and Brenda’s tent and slipped inside. There was nothing in their tent either, but it smelled funny, musky.

“God, what is that wicked smell?” I wrinkled my nose. After taking a quick peek around, I left and went inside Josh’s tent.

In the middle of it was a pile of blankets, almost like a nest.
