Chapter Twelve – Kit

Kit walked in his human form along the main road out of town, while Ollie paced beside him in his shifted form. It was a stretch of the imagination, but if anyone reported seeing Dr. Malvern walking out of town with a cougar, he would laugh and say it was their imagination, he’d been accompanied by a plain old cat, and the snow must have distorted their view.

Looking up at the big flakes as they fell from the sky, Kit reckoned they would get away with it too, since the snow was coming down as thick as it had last night. Soon the tracks Ollie had been able to pick up, which he swore belonged to Louise, since he’d been able to catch her scent near his apartment, would be gone. That was why the dragons were such a good idea.

He glanced down at his phone, and reread Suzie’s text. She was a smart woman, and she was his.

“Oh, hell!” Kit exclaimed, his eyes still turned skyward. The cougar by his side stopped and looked up too, and Kit was certain the cat was silently registering the same shock. “I never thought I’d see such a sight.”

Way above them, silhouetted against the snow-laden clouds, three dragons were soaring through the air. When they were above Kit and Ollie, Kit lifted his hand and waved in a salute. The largest dragon puffed out a plume of smoke, and the three dragons drifted off further into the distance.

“If we don’t find Louise with their help, we are likely never going to find her,” Kit told Ollie.

Ollie gave a brief nod, his cat eyes large and amber as he turned his attention back to the trail they were following. Kit returned to scanning the horizon, as much as the poor visibility allowed. He looked from left to right, and front to back, hoping he would see Louise. As the snow grew deeper around them, his concerns escalated. Hypothermia would become a real problem for her soon. She was completely unprepared for this weather. He knew because the first thing he’d done when Ollie told him Louise had left, was to send him back inside to check what she had taken with her. The answer worried Kit. If Ollie was right, she had walked back out of town in the same state she had arrived in. Underdressed and unprepared.

Kit picked up the pace, and the cougar jogged along by his side. “We need to find her soon, Ollie.”

The cougar gave a plaintive yowl and inched in front, his nose to the ground, but the tracks were disappearing. They were blind down here, searching for a woman who might be anywhere.

Beside him, the air shimmered and Ollie fell into step with Kit on two legs. “The tracks are gone.”

“I figured as much. Look, we could go faster, but our best chance is the dragons. They can see so much more than us. So we pace ourselves, and keep looking, and wait for any news.
