THE MEETING - Tuesday, December 23rd – 10:15 p.m. – Central Standard Time

Lamar crouched next to Walter, studying the tracks covered with fresh snow. Shaun watched from several steps back, eyes scanning the white-coated forest. He was tired from trekking through the woods, his mind and body still adjusting to the events of the last four days. They’d taken an alternate route, opting not to attempt a journey down the slippery slope Turner fell from the day before. When they passed the glen with the graves, Shaun felt sick to his stomach.

“That way,” Lamar whispered, pointing west with the tip of his rifle.

“Agreed,” Walter answered, rising to his feet. He clicked off the flashlight and stuck it back inside his pocket.

Shaun scanned the forest one last time before moving to join the rest of the men. Though it was late, the moon was bright, the silvery rays bouncing off of the fresh snow. “How can you be so sure? The snowfall covered most of the tracks, right?”

“Yes, the one’s where they walked alone. But the one’s made when they were carryin’ the body are deeper. See?” Lamar answered. “Thank God we only got a few inches of snow, or we’d be screwed.”

“Okay, boys. You know the plan. We follow these tracks until they lead us to their location. Once they do, we’ll know where these bastards have been hidin’. After that, we draw them out with this.”

Shaun stared at the makeshift Molotov cocktail Walt rigged earlier. That part of the plan he didn’t like.

He’d even offered to be the one to do it.

Walt disagreed, saying it was too risky, because they had no idea how many people they were dealing with. His plan was to detonate the bomb, hide in the shadows, and pick off one or two to hold as hostages. Then, they would have leverage to negotiate with in exchange for information.

Shaun hadn’t said another word during the planning phase. Knowing what they were about to do made him feel weird. It was wrong. The cop in him didn’t like the idea at all. A heavy sense of unease slithered around in his gut. He couldn’t shake the sensation they were walking into a trap, and he didn’t like leaving the rest of the group behind.

Reed Newberry was a tough man, but he wasn’t a spring chicken. Neither were Martha or Jane. Turner certainly wasn’t in the position to do anything to help, should something happen while they were on this foolhardy quest. And Jesse? Well, Jesse was the last person Shaun would want to entrust with a life. She was too jittery; too unstable.

Too young.

Shaking the doubts aside, Shaun followed Walt, Bailey, Allsop, Kyle and Lamar up the slight incline. Being outside in the woods, his eyes automatically scanned the terrain for deer. He almost
