Chapter Seven

Natalie pulled her car up to the side ranch gate and punched in the code she’d seen Luca use when they’d left the day before. The gates swung open and she drove through. The dirt road wound through a wide valley dotted with fuzzy sheep grazing. Funny, she’d thought everyone in Colorado raised cattle, but what did she, a city girl, know about ranching.

Nothing.

When the road branched she took the one to the left that led back to Luca’s cabin. She’d noted that there wasn’t much around his place besides trees, and it would be a good place to hide the car while she hunted for more clues. This was a stupid idea, a wild goose-chase, but no one was going to help Yvette. It was up to her.

She parked behind the small shed and limped over to the corral where Espresso munched on a pile of hay. Her foot was doing much better. It wasn’t as sprained as she’d feared but she wouldn’t be rock climbing any time soon.

“Hey boy, remember me?” She pulled out the carrots she had in her backpack and laid one on the flat of her palm. The horse came over and lipped it off, tickling her skin and leaving a bit of hay slobber. “Thanks, bro. Just what I needed.” She unzipped her backpack and searched for her little package of tissues.

“Bear spray, map, climbing shoes...” She laughed. “Won’t be needing those for a while. Ah, tissues.” She took out the bright orange package and wiped off her hands.

Espresso’s ears tilted to the side and Natalie heard the growl of an engine coming up the road behind her. She dropped the pack of tissues, grabbed her backpack, and ran for the safety of the trees behind the cabin. She crouched down behind a bush, peering around its green leaves. A big white SUV pulled up, parking next to the corral. The big man, who had been yelling at Luca the day before, got out. Bardolf? Bertolf? Something with a B.

He put his hands on his hips and sniffed the air.

“Anyone here?”

Bertolf frowned, walked over to the horse’s paddock, and bent and picked up the little orange pack of tissues. He sniffed it and his entire face wrinkled like a bulldog’s. He growled.

Natalie got a weird feeling. Why was he growling like that and swinging his head from side to side, like a dog trying to catch a scent.

“I know you’re here, missy. You can’t hide from me. Come out where I can see you.” He wiped his gleaming forehead on his sleeve, triggering alarm-bells for Natalie as she recalled her brief foray onto the internet this morning.

There was a frenzy on social media, right now. Everyone was on the lookout for people with the new disease—people acting like wolves. Most said it was likely an outbreak of rabies and to look for slobbering, panting, sweating crazies.

But a few had said that growling, lip curling, and howling were the things to look for. She’d totally ignored most of it, searching for anything that might indicate what had happened to Yvette.
