Although there was a good chance no one knew about their presence in the mountains and they could probably hunker down in the cabins for a few days, Gabriel was eager to move on. It was harder to catch a moving target. He’d sent a couple of the guys ahead to scout out the ranger station just in case that ranger wasn’t lying and he’d managed to get word out before the power outage.

The door burst open and Bryan Hauser came in out of breath. “There are two rangers at the station. What do you want to do?”

Gabriel cast a glance at the old man and woman and told Torres to tie them up.

“You’re leaving them alive?” Marcus asked with a look of confusion.

“They’ve been helpful. I don’t expect anyone is going to make it out of here for some time, and like you said. If they could have walked out of here they would have by now.” Gabriel gathered up a backpack of food and a first-aid kit, and headed out. Torres was given the additional rifle and they moved out planning to meet up with Jericho and Bill who were doing some reconnaissance on the ranger station. Several of them were still wearing prison garb. That would make blending in a problem. So the first thing on their list was to get to the nearest home and change out. Gabriel was fine, he was wearing one of the old man’s leather jackets and even though the jeans were a bit tight and long, they were dry, warm and he’d rolled up the bottoms.

A short distance down the road, Hauser led them to a thick grove of trees where Jericho and Bill were waiting. He ducked down and through the tree branches observed movement inside. One ranger was in his mid-forties, the other a female, much younger, both were armed. Behind the station, at least another two hundred yards away there was another building, a home. He’d seen the properties dotted around the edge of the lake. Marcus came up behind him, hunched over and placed a hand on his shoulder. “What have we got?”

“A male and a female.”

“A female. Nice.”

Gabriel glanced at him. “Stay focused.”

“Oh I am.”

Gabriel made a gesture and they moved out into the clearing, nothing more than dark bodies running through the blackness of night. As soon as they made it to the wooden porch that wrapped around the property, Gabriel had Jericho slowly turn the knob on the door while Bill kept an eye on the rangers through the window. As soon as he had the door ajar, Gabriel was the first in. Kicking in the door might have led to one of them getting shot, instead he took the subtle approach and slipped in, moving quietly towards the main living room.

“I still think we should have gone with him,” the female ranger was saying.

“No point. Rescue will be up here soon and…”

Before he could finish what he was saying, Gabriel emerged aiming his rifle at him.
