The sound of gunshots had worried Polina, but Sara assured her that Tanner would be all right and return to them before too long.

“But, it was two against one. What if they hurt him?”

“Tanner has faced tougher odds and come out on top,” Sara said with a smile.

Still, Polina was worried. Therefore, when she saw Tanner approaching and looking none the worse for wear, she was so full of joy that she rushed to meet him and hug him.

“It’s all good, kid,” Tanner said. “I even found food, of a sort.”

“Of a sort?” Sara said. “What’s that mean?”

“They’re Russian MRE’s, Meals Ready to Eat. If they’re anything like the American version, they won’t be too bad. Anyway, we need all the food we can get to fight the cold.”

Minutes later, they were huddled around the fire and eating from the MRE’s. Along with the food, which included salt, pepper, and sugar packets, the MRE’s also had packs of wet napkins, matches, anti-bacterial tablets, dried fuel tablets to start fires, and three spoons.

They all ate the crackers with their meal, which consisted of meat loaf, a potato dish of some sort, and grits. There was also tea, and Polina grinned when Tanner handed her the lone fruit stick for dessert.

All in all, the meal wasn’t bad, and the dried fuel tablets, along with the matches, were priceless out in the wilderness.

Polina sat as close to Tanner as she could get, and once she had eaten, she leaned her head against his shoulder. The beautiful teen hung on his every word and smiled at him shyly whenever he looked her way.

“I’m sleepy,” Polina said. “Maybe the drug that man gave me is still working.”

“Maybe,” Sara said. “But you have had a lot of excitement for one day.”

“Tanner, what did you do with the other two men that were here?” Polina asked.

“They’re dead, Polina. They’ll never hurt you again.”

Polina appeared surprised by Tanner’s answer, but also pleased. The Turks had seemed heartless and were willing to use her to get what they wanted. If their actions resulted in their deaths, then, so be it.

“That other man, the pilot, he said he killed my chauffeur, Stas. Stas was my friend and I loved him.”

“I’m sorry you lost a friend,” Tanner said, and as he spoke, he stood slowly, so Polina wouldn’t fall over.

“Are you going to check out that snowmobile?” Sara asked.

“Yeah, and if it works, we should reach cell tower range in less than an hour.”

Sara checked the sky, which had darkened due to thickening clouds.

“I would not want to be out here during a storm, and it will be dark soon too.”
