The relief of being on the road released some of the tension from Gray’s muscles, but once they were turned around and heading toward the small town at the basin of the mountain, the roads were nothing but ice. He hoped he’d made the right decision in getting Stormy out in the weather. No doubt Phantom would have made a move after his leg was taken care of, and then Gray and Stormy would have been at the mercy of that bastard.

Neither of them spoke as he drove carefully on the slick, icy road. The tires were nothing against the snow, but once he got the perfect speed and just enough pressure on the brake pedal, the car ate up feet and finally a mile.

Out of his peripheral he saw Stormy, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. “It’ll be okay.” About the same time those words were out of his mouth he saw that the road was blocked by a snow drift as high as the car’s fender. He pressed on the brake and the car resisted and slid sideways, slowly sliding until it smashed up against the drift in a loud thud.

“Damn.” He struck his palms against the steering wheel and then he felt a soft touch on his forearm. He looked around to find Stormy watching him and he forced his muscles to loosen. She didn’t need to see is irritation. She was in this as deeply as he was, and he didn’t want her to worry.

“At least we made it most of the way down the hill.”

He liked that she could see the positive side of things. Yeah, he was glad they had made it this far, but it wasn’t nearly as far as he would have liked. A snow mobile could eat up the distance in less than an hour, but they were in a car. All he could hope is that Phantom was babying his leg and resting. But Gray knew it would take hours to dig a path through the snow drift. And then what? He couldn’t ask Stormy to walk because the only things she had on her feet were delicate flats. She’d packed for a vacation, not a hike in the snow at below zero temperatures. Thanks to him, the snow shoes were somewhere on the mountain.

“Look what I kept from the cabin.” She reached into the backseat and brought out the unopened bottle of whiskey. “If we’re going to be stuck here we might as well stay warm.”
