“Wait a minute.” Liam’s jaw tensed. “If you hadn’t noticed, there’s still a storm out there. Leaving the cabin would be foolish.”

Thatcher took a step toward him. “You get me out of here safely, and I’ll not only make sure nothing happens to your girlfriend here, I’ll make sure she gets her daughter back. But if you try anything stupid, let’s just say there won’t be a happy reunion.”

“And where are we supposed to go?” Liam worked to rein in his temper. “I do know this terrain. Know it enough to realize that the weather’s not getting any better, and taking the horses—”

“Forget it. I’ve already made my decision. The horses have their winter shoes. We’ll go through the canyon to Canyon Falls. The authorities won’t be expecting us to go there.”

Liam glanced at Gus. “They won’t be expecting that because they know how foolish that would be. The terrain through the canyon is difficult enough during the summertime but now, even without ice, there’s already snow in the high places—”

“He’s right, Thatcher,” Gus said. “That route is too dangerous this time of year. You need to end this. You’re only going to make things worse. What if all three of you end up losing your lives?”

Thatcher clearly wasn’t convinced. “We’ll manage. The snow has stopped, so even in this weather it can’t be more than what...an hour, two at the most, to go down the canyon. She and I will ride together bareback.” He turned back to Liam. “That will help ensure you don’t do anything stupid on our way out. I’ll bet you’re trained military. I saw how you tracked us back on the trail tonight. If anyone can get us out of here, you can. And whatever the risk... I’m willing to take it. They won’t expect me to go there and it will be a lot easier to disappear once I’m off this mountain.”

“I still don’t think it’s worth the risk,” Liam said, needing a way to convince him. “You have a good defense. If Colonel Peterson did everything you said he did, then you can work out a deal with the DA—”

“You think I’m stupid?” He glanced out the window. “They only make deals like that on TV. Not in real life. They won’t listen to me. My word—a soldier who was dishonorably discharged—against an army colonel? Who do you think will win? I already know how bad things are. If I stay, I’m going to be charged with murder.”

“So what will you do if I can get you off this mountain? Leave the country?”

“That’s my problem. I think two million dollars will get me wherever I want to go. Grab us something to eat and some water, then we’re leaving. And make sure you dress warm enough.” Thatcher glanced out the window. “It looks like the snow has finally stopped, so I want to leave now while there’s a break in the weather.”

Liam frowned, frustrated at being out of control. He weighed his limited options.
