Pursuit

Chuky shined his powerful flashlight into the pit at the back of the mine. The ancient downshaft seemed bottomless, but he knew it wasn’t. He had tossed a rock in and had heard it hit bottom; but it had taken a long time to do so, and he knew the hole was very, very deep. He turned the light toward the rocky ledge about thirty or forty feet down. Was that blood? Had the boy struck the ledge as he was falling? It was a possibility. But where were Karl and Brian? What was going on? What had happened here?”

On the logging road, he had found the SUV with the smashed window. Not too hard to figure that out. The twins had done it, probably to get supplies. But supplies for what? Surely they weren’t trying to go up into the high country. They weren’t stupid, but maybe they were. And where were Karl and Brian? Had they gone after the girls?

He knelt to examine the tracks at the edge of the pit. There were so many and they were so smudged it was impossible for him to determine what had gone on here. Surely the boy was gone—over the lip and into the shaft. He couldn’t have fought off two adults the size of Karl and Brian. Had the girls followed the trio into the mine? The tracks outside appeared as if they might have done so; but again it was difficult to say for certain because of the snow melt and the tramping that had occurred. And even if the twins had made it inside, what could they have done? They would have been too late; and they would have been too small and too ineffective to have accomplished anything. But where were the guards?

He was puzzled. He knew he needed to get back to the SUV and look for clues on the logging road. Maybe the tracks there would be more readable, and he could then give a report to the Prophet that was meaningful.
