From his position near the fire pit, Ryan saw Eddie storm down the hill from the rec center. His posture and face clearly communicated anger. Could be a good sign or bad. Depending on his reason for the anger.

Ryan approached Eddie. “Session go okay?”

He scowled. “Was lame. She wanted me to talk about my feelings.”

“Good. That’s what you need to do. Get your feelings out so you can move forward.”

“Ohh, feelings,” Eddie said, his sarcasm dripping on each word.

“Listen, Eddie. You have to cooperate if you want to stay in this program. And that means taking the counseling sessions seriously. Go ahead and join the group, but spend some time thinking about this and decide if you really want to be here.”

Eddie stomped off, his sloppy Adidas sending up dirt puffs. Ryan directed his gaze toward the rec center. He’d expected Mia to accompany Eddie, but she was nowhere in sight. An uneasy feeling landed in his gut. Had something happened to her or had she merely needed time to write up her counseling session with Eddie?

The students were all actively engaged with the staff so he’d excuse himself and go check on her.

Heading for the rec center, Ryan’s unease grew, and he broke into a jog. His cell rang and he pulled it from his belt.

“What’s up, Russ?” he asked through uneven breaths.

“Do you know where Mia is?” His tone was cautious. “Why?”

“We had a report of gunshots in the area. I checked it out. Someone shot up the lodge and left another warning note for Mia.”

“I’ll be right there,” Ryan said while upping his speed.

Please let this end, Lord.

He was such an idiot. Thinking the explosions he’d heard were firecrackers when someone was shooting at the lodge. At least Mia had been with him at the time so he knew she hadn’t been hurt.

Unless of course, she headed back to the lodge after her session with Eddie and the gunman lay in wait for her.
