Chapter Ten

The next day dawned bright and sunny. Peri walked down the steps of the main building, and out onto the snow.

Ahead, three snowmobiles loaded with supplies, waited.

Lars was standing beside one vehicle, talking quietly with Declan, Logan, and Ronin. He was going to be their guide to the pyramid. Dec had apprised Melinda, Lars, and Gabriela of some of the situation with Silk Road, and the three station leaders had agreed to keep it quiet. They weren’t happy about the fact that one of their own might be a traitor, but they didn’t want anyone else to die.

Peri took a deep breath of crisp, clear air. She’d slept well for the rest of the night. After the attack, she’d thought she’d never get to sleep, but with Ronin’s big body wrapped around her, she’d fallen asleep almost as soon as her head had touched her pillow.

She looked over at Ronin, drinking in his strong form. Even in his bulky black jacket, he snagged her attention. Strength with a dark edge. In the past, she’d always gone for easygoing guys who enjoyed travel and adventure. Apparently dark, dangerous, and intense was her new type. Not done with you yet, G-Man.

As she approached, the men all called out to her, and she raised a gloved hand.

“Ready to head out?” Dec asked.

“Yes.”

Lars nodded. “Excellent. The weather looks good, but things can change in a heartbeat. Best to get moving.”

The men broke off to their snowmobiles.

Ronin looked down at her. “I’m driving today.”

She inclined her head. “That sounds fair.”

He climbed on the machine and she settled behind him. He started the engine, the vibrations going through her. Instantly, she thought of riding his bike with him. God, that felt like weeks ago.

She leaned forward. “Look at that. Here you are between my legs again.”

His big body jolted and Peri smiled to herself.

“Behave,” he growled.

She bit back a smile, and settled her goggles over her face. Moments later, they all pulled out, slicing across the snow. Lars was in the lead, followed by Dec and Logan, with Peri and Ronin bringing up the rear of their group.

The bright sun reflected off the snow and ice. Peri breathed deep. Everything looked so fresh, pristine, and untouched. Could there really be the ruins of an ancient civilization buried under the ice?

Soon, the mountains rose up ahead, dark rock poking up through the snow. The peaks all looked natural to her.

They skirted some rough ground, and kept moving.

A short while later, Lars pulled to a stop, and the other two snowmobiles flanked him.

“There,” the scientist said, pointing.

Peri turned her head and sucked in a breath. Their goal sat at the end of a line of hills. A perfect pyramid of dark rock, spearing skyward through the snow.

They set off again, getting closer and closer. Peri kept her gaze trained on the rock. It was incredible, although she couldn’t tell if nature had made it, or man. They zoomed past one side of the structure, and she scanned the surface.
