Chapter Six

Late in the afternoon, Branch went to his cabin to check on Buddy and get a little rest. He was still feeling a bit fatigued from his bender the night before and he wanted to be a hundred percent to continue the investigation. The truth was, they hadn't learned anything more from Gary's mom than the others had learned from his search team. Once again, it was like the young man had simply vanished from the face of the earth. Agent Holden had sent his people back to Sacramento to report on what was going on and to see if they could gather more resources. He still wasn't sure he liked the idea of having strangers climbing all over his mountain, but he didn't know what else he could do, especially with one of their own missing.

More than anything, he was feeling sorry for himself, feeling like a failure and he needed to recoup. He sat down in his recliner, looking out at the woods that seemed perfectly innocuous. He knew better, though. He knew that to live in Grand Arbré meant taking the good with the bad. He absently reached down to pet Buddy's head, but a moment later, the small beagle began to bay.

"What is it, boy?" he asked, and then heard a knock on his door. With a sigh, he got up to answer it and was surprised to see Geoff standing in his doorway. "Agent ," he acknowledged.

Geoff smiled and nodded slightly. “Sheriff.”

Branch returned the gesture and then moved out of the way so that the taller man could come through the door. He hid a chuckle at the fact that Geoff almost had to duck to get through it. Small talk wasn't his greatest skill, but he said, "I kind of thought you might go with your team back to the city."

"No, someone needed to stay here and keep real time tabs on what's going on."
