Twenty-Nine

The GPS, spotty at other times during his stay in the mountains, had a perfect bead on the trailer in the woods. The drive was quicker than the twenty minutes he’d expected, and Porter’s mind had been firing the entire time.

The hunter in the woods had been part of the crew he was now hunting. It stood to reason that if the man had been so unhappy to see him in the valley the day prior, any of his friends would be equally as enthused if Porter showed up at their trailer. Porter doubted they would throw him a welcome party.

Driving up to the front door seemed like a poor idea. The map he’d looked at earlier seemed to indicate the drive up to the front of the trailer was almost three-quarters of a mile long. The road was gravel, and Porter could imagine the racket he’d make just driving up there.

Plenty of time for a murderous giant and his drug trafficker friend to pick up a hunting rifle and shoot at him.

The GPS told him to turn right onto a gravel road that was nearly hidden by trees. Porter debated, then turned the app off and continued up the main road for about half a mile. He’d looked at the trailer and the surrounding areas on his laptop, and had a better idea.

On the right, an unfinished strip mall appeared. Porter slowed and turned into it, pulling all the way to the rear of the structure.

The walls of the building were up, a nice brick on the sides. The parking lot was paved and the roof was on, but there were no tenants in the spaces yet. Porter didn’t see a construction crew and figured they were on a lunch break somewhere. Even if they weren’t, it looked like all their work would be on the inside of the building.

He should have some privacy in the back. Porter took a moment and collected his things, then slid out of the Yukon.

With a drive or walk up to the front door already ruled out, Porter made a new plan. He’d use the woods as concealment and move until he was close enough to see the trailer and anyone in it. With any luck, he’d see the two he was looking for before they saw him. Maybe he’d even find Pima.

Porter shook his head, pushing that thought from his mind. He’d learned long ago about getting his hopes up.

Instead he focused on what he could handle. He popped his tailgate and took a few extra minutes to search for the hoodie that had previously eluded him. He found that, as well as a pair of the Mechanix gloves he favored. After slipping both articles on, he opened his lockbox and took stock.

His rifle was there, waiting and ready like it always was. He’d been outgunned the night before with Sheriff Spaulding’s men and he didn’t want it to happen again. Still, it probably wasn’t a good idea to bring it out. If something happened and he had to use it, he’d probably never get it back.
