Dusk was slanting long shadows through the trees, and with every step, determination grew inside him.

He was going to kill the little bitch. Put a single shot right between her eyes.

No. Gut her like a rabbit and leave her body in the snow for the animals to feed off her intestines. Or slice her throat. One horizontal cut, matched with another splitting open her torso from throat to cunt. Different scenarios each time, all ending with an agonizing death.

And he wasn’t going to wait for the okay from the man who hired him either. Fuck him and his plans. What difference did a couple days make anyway? He could still collect the extra fee because no one had to know the little bitch was already dead.

It’d been a long time since the thirst to kill had been this strong. Not since he’d shot his crazy-ass father, the bullet going through the heavy Bible he held and into his heart. The daily beatings had always started with that Bible, before it was exchanged for the whip or belt. Men like that shouldn’t have kids. They should recognize what lived inside them and spare their offspring. Like he had.

He ducked his head against the fucking wind that blew up here all the time. The gusts made it hard to walk sometimes, even with the trees as a shield. But he had to be careful anyway, because a couple times he’d heard shots. In the distance but still in the area. And once he’d thought he’d seen the flash of hunter orange nearby. The bastard was screwing up his trail.

When he found the snowshoe prints, it was hard to tell whether it was the kid in his boots and snowshoes or the hunter. The damn blowing snow obliterated a lot of the tracks.

Maybe the kid had seen a hunter, too. The thought made the ball of rage in his chest burn hotter. Maybe she’d found some stranger and been whisked off to safety. Maybe the cops were on their way already.

He wasn’t worried. With the cover of trees and the stashed snowmobile, he didn’t doubt his ability to lose them. And he wasn’t going leave the job undone. Not after he’d invested so much time and effort into it.

There was his future reputation to consider.

Halting, he slid the pack off his back. Opening it, he pulled out the night vision goggles he’d used when he’d snatched the kid. Everything about that night had gone like clockwork. He could see now that it had been too easy. Almost charmed. Something had been bound to go wrong.

But he’d never expected the little bitch to get away.

He fitted the goggles over his eyes and slid into the pack again. The snowmobile was worthless in this terrain, which was why he’d stashed it farther downhill that first night and hiked the rest of the way to the cabin, pulling the kid on the plastic he’d had rolled up and knotted around his waist.

He’d responded rashly when he’d found her gone.
