He was lying on his back in the snow. “Fuck. Where the hell did he come from? Fuck.”

“Are you hurt?”

“My shoulder.”

Daniel raced over to join them. “What happened?”

“He was cut off by a skier. Flew through the air and hit the tree,” Margo explained. “Did you hit your head, Trace? Any neck pain?”

“No. Dammit. My shoulder stings like a bitch, though.”

“The left?”

“Yeah.”

Margo tore off her gloves and unzipped the top of Trace’s jacket to feel his arm.

“I dislocated it playing basketball two years ago. Feels the same,” Trace managed through gritted teeth.

She knelt beside him and palpated his shoulder. No pain along the clavicle. Prominent acromion, abnormal contour of the shoulder. No pain along the humeral shaft. “Can you feel this Trace?” She brushed the skin of his upper arm with a light touch.

“Yes.”

She checked the pulse at his wrist. Weak and fast, but present. “There’s a good chance it’s dislocated again.”

Trace nodded.

“I could try to reduce it,” Margo said, watching beads of sweat form on Trace’s brow.

“No. It’s too risky. If it’s fractured, you’ll make it worse,” Daniel argued. “I’ve called for help. They patrol this area. We should just wait.”

“But the quicker it’s reduced, the better the outcome. He’s had a previous dislocation. He’s young. It’ll help with the pain,” Margo said, as Trace winced.

“I think you should wait,” Daniel insisted.
