Chapter Four

Thankfully the place still had electricity.

May dug through the cupboard and found an electric heater and plugged it in. Then she found some blankets.

As she was pulling the blankets from the cupboard, a sense of horror and sadness washed over her. It was coming from Mason.

She dropped the blankets on one of the beds and ran to the window. Through the sheets of rain she could make out Mason’s figure and he was just standing there, looking toward the end of the runway at nothing.

No, not nothing. He sees something.

And even though she shouldn’t, she tapped into his mind and saw what he saw.

Parker’s projection.

May broke her connection and began to shiver from fear and the cold. If Parker was projecting himself here, GKA were tracking them somehow and she and Mason had to get out of here.

The door opened a few minutes later and Mason came in, soaked. He set everything down by the door.

“This is a well-stocked abandoned bunkhouse,” he mused, but she could hear the tension in his voice.

“Well, the mine is owned by Lesa. It was her late husband’s and she always keeps this bunkhouse stocked for those who get lost in the bush. It comes in handy in the winter when snowmobiles break down.”

“Another secret.”

“Not really, I was going to tell you.” Her teeth began to chatter and she stepped closer to the electric heater.

“You need to get out of those clothes,” Mason said.

Her heart skipped a beat. “What?”

“You’re soaked. The clothes need to dry.” He walked over to the cupboard and pulled out a ball of twine. “I’ll set up a line and we can hang our clothes on it. They need to be dry if we’re going to hike through the woods to Gillam, that is, unless Lesa has a car?”

“No,” May said through chattering teeth. “Lesa doesn’t have a car.”

Mason tossed her the ball and held onto the other end. “Tie it down there.”

May nodded and tied the other end of the twine on the opposite side of the room. It formed a clothes line.

Mason had already began to peel off his clothes. Warmth flooded her cheeks and she couldn’t help but watch him as he took off his flannel shirt, hanging it carefully on the line before stripping off his T-shirt.

Under that was his bare chest and she’d forgotten how wide and muscular it was. How she would lie across it and listen to his heartbeat. The only difference was scars that marred his skin. As if sensing her gaze his blue eyes met hers.

“What?” he asked.

“The scars?”

He glanced down. “The GKA broke my ribs and I had to have tubes in my lung to drain fluid.”

“I knew they almost killed you when I saw flashes of what happened, but I had no idea.”

Mason nodded and then glanced at her. “Are you going to just stand there in your wet clothes all night?”

“Toss me a blanket.”

Mason reached over and tossed her one of the woollen blankets.

“You’re making a change room?” he teased.
