Chapter Eleven

Mandy was going crazy sitting in Vince and Cam’s home for the last couple of days and not working. Both men seemed to find reasons to avoid her like she was the criminal instead of the victim, even though neither was rude. In fact, they went out of their way to make sure she had her privacy, but not once did Cam invite her into his bed. Vince had ample opportunity to put the moves on her, but he didn’t.

As for Cam, it was almost as if he was waiting to find the shooter before he pursued her. She considered confronting him, but her head wasn’t in the right spot to start a new relationship.

Right now, she looked forward to going on the two-day outing and being out of their house. Trinity would serve as the lead. Mandy was there to observe, and Vince came to protect. According to Sam there never had been an incident that required the man to defend them, but Mandy was glad Vince would be there just in case.

The seven women in the group were amateur photographers and the eighth was their teacher. Apparently, they’d completed a three-day photo seminar to learn about their cameras and this was their reward at the end of the class. The only camera she’d ever used was her iPhone. Now that phone was a distant memory stuck in her former home’s flowerpot. Her burn phone had no such capabilities.

Vince came into the kitchen. “Ready to test your outdoor skills?”

“I’ve been ready for days. My calf is good and I’m really looking forward to camping.” She tapped her daypack. The horses would carry the heavy equipment.

“Let’s go.”

When Vince wrapped an arm around her waist, her worries disappeared. She had high hopes for this adventure on many levels. Trinity had prepped her for how she ran the excursions, and Mandy was confident all would go well. Because Trinity was the lead, she would be the one to discuss leaving no trace, how to go to the bathroom in the woods, fire safety, purifying the water, and the safe way to light a camp stove.

All of them gathered around the horses. Trinity spent close to thirty minutes going through her explanation.

“Vince, Mandy, and I will help you set up your tents the first night. Then you’re on your own for night two. Any questions?”

The women shook their heads. One of the ladies kept staring at Mandy, making her a bit uncomfortable and she failed to push down the strange feeling. The three of them made sure the ladies were well situated before mounting their horses.

In the beginning of the trip, the wide plains afforded them to ride side by side.

An hour into the trip, the curious lady pulled up next to her. “This may sound odd, but I swear I know you. Have you ever been to Denver?”

Mandy’s heart sank. She could lie. Taking a good look at this woman, she recognized her. She’d attended one of the investor’s parties. Sooner or later Ellen would remember the event, too.
