Chapter Eleven – Linda

Still as impressive in the daylight, her bear commented as they watched Craig shift into his bear.

I agree. Linda followed the large grizzly around to the front of the plane. “Here?”

The bear nodded and lifted his paws to drag a sharp claw along the side of the plane, lengthening the gash made during the crash landing. Working together, they cut out a large flat piece of metal. It had room enough for two people and their meager supplies. With it lying flat on the snow, Craig curled his paw around and stabbed his claw into the metal four times. As he worked, Linda went back inside the plane to check on the others and to carefully remove the parachute and place it on the ground.

Once satisfied with his work, Craig shifted back to his human form and they began the task of fixing the parachute to the makeshift metal sled.

An hour later they stood back and admired their work. “It’s as secure as we can make it.”

Linda wiped her brow. “We should get moving and make the most of the daylight.”

Craig moved closer to her. “I’m concerned about Joaquin. We need to move him with care.”

“Understood.” Linda ground her back teeth together as she fought to control her emotions. Joaquin was a stranger to her. But he obviously loved Gina and Gina loved him, so that made him family.

“Let’s get to it.” He leaned forward and pressed his lips to her cheek in a searing kiss.

Stumbling forward, she followed Craig into the plane. The heat hit her instantly. “Get wrapped up, you are going to feel the drop in temperature as soon as we get outside. And Craig, you need to wrap up, too,” she reminded her mate.

She’d already learned he had a stubborn streak a mile wide and so she watched him dress with folded arms and a stern look until she was satisfied he would be warm enough on the journey down. Perhaps she was being so fussy because she was trying to delay their leaving. The thought of moving Joaquin with his bruised and battered body made her uneasy. But it had to be done.

“Okay, Joaquin. This is going to hurt, I won’t lie.” Craig slipped his arms under Joaquin’s shoulders, while Linda placed her hands under his feet. The idea was to lift him onto a smaller piece of metal that Craig had torn from the side of the plane. They would use it as a stretcher to carry Joaquin out of the plane and then transfer him to the sled.

It was simple, but that didn’t mean it would be easy.

“Ready?” Linda locked eyes with Craig, they had to lift him and swing him across onto the stretcher at the same time or risk jarring his body and causing him more pain.

Craig nodded briefly. “One, two, three.” They lifted in perfect timing and swung him onto the stretcher.

A low guttural moan came from Joaquin and for a second Linda thought he was going to pass out with the pain, but he gritted his teeth and puffed loudly like a steam train.
