Tate nodded toward Levi, and they slipped along the shadows next to the road, separating as they neared Mary’s vehicle. The small SUV would have performed well on most of the snowy roads, but it was not suited for snow-covered mountain terrain.

As he crept along, he could see that she was sitting in the driver’s seat, wrapped in a thick coat. Levi knocked on her window, and she jumped. With the snow swirling, visibility was low and they hoped that worked to their advantage.

Rolling down her window, she said, “Took you long enough to get here! I’m freezing—”

“FBI. Keep your hands where we can see them,” Levi announced.

Mary squeaked but immediately lifted her hands in front of her. “What is this? I got stuck on my way home and need help!”

Tate opened the passenger door, spying the bag sitting next to her purse on the passenger seat. She jumped and her hand darted out toward the bag, causing Levi to order her to keep her hands up, once again.

Hearing someone approach, Tate looked over his shoulder and nodded as Billy pulled to the front of Mary’s SUV. Alighting from his vehicle, Billy and his partner jogged over to the passenger side next to Tate.

“What have you got?” Billy asked.

“Good timing. This is your jurisdiction, so I’ll let you take a look inside the bag.”

Tate slid to the side, allowing Billy to lean into the SUV. He opened the bag and said, “Well, well. What have we got in here?”

Tate leaned close, but the swirling snow made visibility difficult. Billy turned and held the bag open for him. After looking at the contents, he stood up and called out to Levi. “Prescription antibiotics from Rawlins Medical Center, and it looks like enough pseudoephedrine to keep a meth lab going for a bit.”

“Those are for me! I’ve been sick!” Mary called out.

Tate snagged her phone from the passenger seat and checked her call log. “She received a call almost two hours ago from a number in her contact list as Porter. She called back to that same number twenty minutes ago.”

“You don’t understand—they’ll kill me if I don’t meet them,” she cried as Levi reached in to place his hand on her arm. He handed her to Billy’s partner who escorted her toward the sheriff’s SUV while Billy placed the sack of prescription drugs in an evidence bag. Once it was secured and labeled, he did the same with the phone.

Billy handcuffed Mary, then assisted her into the backseat. Slamming the door, he turned to the others. “Do you want me to take her in now or wait for someone else?”

“She called someone to meet her here. She must be expecting them soon or else she knew her car would get buried in the snow and she might not get out. Why don’t you back up to stay out of sight and wait to see if we can get whoever was sent to meet her?” Levi suggested.

Nodding in agreement, Billy climbed into the front of his SUV and backed down the road.
