Chapter Eighteen

Creed sat huddled near a small fire. He’d spent thirteen hours in the saddle, and his bruised ribs ached like the very devil.

He grimaced as he lifted a cautious hand to his face. The swelling in his left eye was almost gone. His fingertip traced the edges of the gash on his left cheek and he swore softly, knowing there would be a jagged scar when the cut healed. As if he didn’t have enough scars, he mused ruefully, and then shrugged. Another scar was the least of his problems.

He stared into the dancing flames and thought about Jassy, always and forever Jassy. It had been almost a week since the Indians had abducted her. He wondered how she was getting along, how the Indians were treating her…

Creed swore softly, the thought of Jassy being manhandled by the warrior who had taken her tying his stomach in knots.

Iyokipi, Ate… Please, Father, let her be alive. Please, Father, don’t let them hurt her. Please, please, please…

He ran a hand through his hair. With luck, he would catch up with the Crow sometime tomorrow. And then what, he mused.

He had no weapons, nothing to bargain with. And yet he couldn’t just leave her there. He’d got her into this mess, and, by damn, he’d get her out!

He just wished he knew how.
