The ranch.

After Jill talked to Braden, she went and found Doc. He had set up an infirmary in one of the smaller, side caves. That's where she found him. When she requested the pictures from Jason's and Melissa's folders, she got a sideways look from him. She had to explain, yet again, what she knew. To her surprise, he didn't try to talk her out of going to find them. Instead, he insisted that she take Dan Hawkins along. Once she had the photos that she wanted, she located Dan and filled him in on her plan to head south.

She left the caves at about 10am and got back to the ranch at two in the afternoon. She immediately had Alex take his horse and two others back to the cave. One was for Braden, who was planning on going straight to Elko, the other was for Dan. After checking in on her prisoners in the barn, she went to the security

shack where her father had set up his command center.

“I know why they left those two Stryker’s here,” Bill said before she was all the way into the room.

“Yeah?”

“They've been stripped of all their ammunition and the fuel tanks are almost dry. They were here for show and nothing more.”

“I wonder if it's the same for the equipment left behind in Elko.”

“I hope so. Jim, Harold, Darren and 10 of their men took off toward the city on horseback about 20 minutes before you got back. They are trying to get eyes on that van with all the jamming equipment in it,” Bill said.

“Okay. I talked to Braden. He's going to leave the caves as soon as his horse gets there. I told him that he needed to be in the city before nightfall.”

“I'm surprised that he said he'd do it.”

“He pissed and moaned about it..... I helped him make up his mind.”

“I see. You still planning on leaving tonight?” he asked.

“Not till morning. Dan wants to procure some transportation from Elko. We can cover more ground faster.”

“Then you'll be happy to know, I may have a bead on Jason's whereabouts. It's nothing

concrete and it may be nothing at all but I thought you might want to know,” he said as he pulled a state map from under the laptop and unfolded it. Jill was immediately hovering over his shoulder.

“What do you know?” she asked.

“I've been listening in on the communications from Vegas to their units in the northern part of the state. They are using relay stations to extend their range. Well, one of them went off the air sometime last night and they haven't been able to reestablish contact. They call it Pahute Mesa and I found it on this map, right here,” Bill pointed to the spot. “Its north of the ambush spot, which was here,” again he pointed.

“You're right, it could be nothing but it could also be a place to start looking. Are there any more of these relay stations on a northerly bearing from there?” she asked.
