CHAPTER 7

He didn't have a real plan, that was the problem. But Wade knew that going in hot right now would be more than the two of them could handle. There was no solution that didn’t turn into a shootout, putting the wolves and Leah in harm’s way.

Not to mention what the bison might do.

He hadn't been in Yellowstone long but it was a rugged and wild place, and people did not have the right of way. Bison looked slow and sleepy. Sometimes they even appeared cuddly, but Wade knew they were unpredictable and frequently as grumpy as he was.

“Wade, please. We have to do something more.”

“I sent in the coordinates. Someone on your team or mine might be able to get more information on the truck and whoever owns it. Maybe that will help us narrow down their destination.”

She sighed, clearly frustrated.

He kept watch on the crew wrestling with the truck. Spared a glance for the bison herd. And continued to scan the horizon for any sign of the natural predators that might be interested in the distressed wolves.

A big bull bison finally gave the truck his full attention, taking several strides toward the vehicle and the men working to get the tire free. The men weren’t giving him the same respect, too consumed by their predicament. “Trust me, we don’t want to get involved now. Not with that bison checking them out.”

Her eyes gleamed, ready for battle. “My money is on the bison.”

“Only a sucker would take that bet.”

She chuckled. “Fine. We wait for the campground. It fits their current heading and it offers good shelter.”

“Also out of the way if the wolves get noisy again.”

“True.”

She didn’t elaborate and he glanced over, trying not to smile. When Leah was deep in thought, her whole body went still. He found it endearing. And a little scary. What required her entire body to focus? “What is it?” he prompted.

“The breeder has to be close,” she said.

“You mean in the park?”

“Yes. I think so. At the very least close to the borders. The capture gang can't keep the wolves drugged indefinitely. Too many risks. Those animals are worth a fortune.”

He couldn’t argue. “Fastest way out is to fly, and any plan to rendezvous with a helo would require a big aircraft. And I wouldn’t want to move those cages.” He scrubbed at his face. Even if she was right, searching Yellowstone was a monumental task.

“Do you think we can get ahead of them?” she asked.

“Doubtful.” He pointed. The men had the truck rolling again.

“I’m sure they’re taking the most direct route possible. We’ll have to be careful as we follow.”

“They’re too arrogant to keep an eye out for us.” Her lip curled into a sneer. “I'm not giving up.”

“We aren’t giving up,” he corrected. “And their arrogance gives us a narrow advantage. Let’s keep going. We’ll keep the others informed of our progress. Between Justice and Chelsea, they’ll let us know when they can ride in and support our rescue efforts.” He watched her eyes narrow.
