Chapter 10

Sasha limped along at Alec’s right heel as Alec and Kable made their way back to the cabin. Occasionally the Rottweiler would nuzzle Alec’s hand with her rough snout or rumble a low growl at Kable if he ventured too close. It was obvious that she was a tough dog, a survivor, like them. She didn’t whine or whimper about her leg, which Alec had wrapped as best he could with some gauze taken from the pharmacy. Judging by the small amount of blood showing through the shirt, the bleeding had mostly stopped. Alec wasn’t really sure if dogs could turn into abominations, but he was pretty sure being scratched by one wasn’t enough to make one turn. Thus far, Sasha hadn’t shown any signs of rage or change in eye color.

As they made their way, Alec marked the location of the pharmacy on his map, jotting down a few notes on a small flip pad. He tried to scribble down details such as directions, descriptions of the locations, potential supplies, resources, and dangers encountered in each area. He hoped that they wouldn’t have to make a return trip anytime soon, especially not at night, but if they did he wanted as much information as possible. Writing directions and descriptions of the locations would also help the others if for whatever reason, he was unable to make the trip himself. “One of these days I may not be around to go, and the rest of you need to have an understanding of our surroundings,” he had told their crew.

It was now almost midday and somehow the weather felt thirty degrees warmer than it been just a few hours ago. The sun was beating down on their backs, draining what remaining energy the two men had left. Every laborious step Alec took was heavy, like a child hung on to his leg, enjoying the free ride, sliding across the ground. It wasn’t just the muscle fatigue, it was the lack of sleep, and mostly the weight of Stephen’s death all weighing him down. Alec felt downright dreadful. It didn’t help that this trip was his thirteenth. Thirteen trips and he still wasn’t an inch closer to finding even the smallest clue o Alexa or her whereabouts. He was beginning to lose faith that he would ever find her. Letting go wasn’t an option. He would rather die than let go.

It was Kable setting their speed, and like a tri-athlete in the last hundred yards of a race, he was pushing through to the end. Although the former running back was in great shape, it was his worry over Sara that pushed him so hard. Alec was determined not to slow them down, but he was struggling to keep up with the freak-of-nature.

“I don’t see how you do it buddy,” Alec said as in gulped in deep breaths of air. Kable turned as he continued his brisk pace and raised one eye brow. “You’ve barely taken a sip of water, and you sure haven’t shown any signs of fatigue.
