Before Wolf Runner approached the place where he had left Cheyenne he sensed something was wrong.

It was too quiet.

When he emerged from the thicket Cheyenne was nowhere to be seen, and neither were the horses. Bending, he examined the hard-packed ground. There were tracks of two shod horses and two men wearing boots.

The trees were too dense and the trail curved so he could not see anything up ahead. He was desperate, his heart beating in fear for Cheyenne. Climbing higher up the hill so he could see farther into the distance, his heart stopped when he located Cheyenne being taken away by two white men.

His lip curled in disgust.

Trappers. In their own way they were as bad as the buffalo hunters who had senselessly depleted the herds—trappers were after furs and cared nothing about the meat that sustained his people.

Feeling helpless when he watched Cheyenne struggling with one of the men, he could sense her fear like a knife in his heart. Her hands were tied behind her and she had no chance of escaping.

Sliding back down the hill, Wolf Runner knew he had to catch up with them, but they had horses, and he did not.

Satanta sensed something was wrong and circled Wolf Runner, his yellow eyes staring into Wolf Runner’s as if he was waiting for a command to spring into action.

Those men would easily outdistance Wolf Runner if they were in open country, but their progress would be slowed because of the mountains. He must reach them before they came upon the open prairie or he would never catch them. Desperation gripped him, and he shuddered to think of Cheyenne being in the hands of those men. Clasping his rifle, he started off at a run, Satanta at his side.
