Chapter 9 – She's My Hero

We crossed Beggar's Creek and once we hit the area where we saw search parties making their way downrange. Kimi slowed and shook her head as she looked down toward them, then cut up toward the peaks. A minute later I saw something familiar and I tapped her shoulder but she was already slowing down and nodding, she had seen it too. A nicely shaped snow mound where none had a reason to be.

We stopped and jumped off and walked up to the mound and brushed the snow off the tarp. We peeked under a corner at Roberta's snowmobile then looked around. Both of our eyes swung to the peaks. The snowmobile couldn't go much farther that way. So we geared up and slung ropes over our shoulders as Remmy and Vernon arrived. They dismounted and geared up as Kimi got on the radio while she played around with her satellite phone. “Kim to Homeplate.”

Ramona's smooth voice replied, “We read you Kim.”

Kimi looked back to the mountains. “I just sent you the grids to her snowmobile. Forward them to the circus outside and to the McKay's. We are splitting up now to sweep the lower ridges.”

Ramona responded. “Copy that.”

Kimi ended communications with a “Kim out.” And we started to the northeast as Remmy and Vernon headed southeast.

We picked our way through the trees, me creaking and clacking until we were far enough separated from the men to be out of earshot when Kimi stopped dead and spun toward me. Her stoic expression was replaced with one of barely contained rage. “OK Blake. Now tell me... what did you do?!” She was barely taller than me but it suddenly felt like she was looming over me like a specter.

But if she thinks she's mad, she doesn't know me. I live in anger, that's my domain. I didn't back down. I hissed back at her, “Me? What did I do? She's the one who was lying to me, using me! They were all just having a good laugh over there as she pretended to help me out. I may have overreacted when I told her I never wanted to see her again. But this is not my fault!” It feels like it IS my fault.

That weird switch went off in her and that unreadable expression was instantly back and her voice was calm again. “Pretending to help you? You really don't know her at all then. That woman will selflessly help anyone and everyone. That marvelous person was raving about you and bragging about how great you are, when we called her the other day about our trip. I've never heard her so excited about someone since Jane. Bobbi is the definition of the word hero. She's my hero. I'd be dead or worse right now if she never came into my life.”

She started walking toward the ridge again as she spoke in a faraway voice, “Let me tell you a little story about Silent Bob. My mother always saw me as a disappointment.
