Chapter 15: The Trail
I held the boot up so the whole yard could see the willow twig.
"This was in the river for three weeks," I said. "It didn't climb out and walk to town. Somebody fished it out of the snags below the ford and carried it to your smokehouse."
The Beta's face changed.
"Why would anybody do that?"
"So you'd all be standing in my yard."
The commander looked at the boot for a long time.
"That's a story, Captain."
"Then let me prove it." I turned to him. "One night. I'll run the trail from the smokehouse, the Line way. Give me till morning."
"And if you don't find anything?"
"Then I'll put them in your truck myself."
The widow made a small sound behind me.
I didn't look back. I couldn't.
The commander glanced at Lorcan.
Every head in the yard did.
[Say yes. Say yes, you coward.]
That one wasn't aimed at me.
It was aimed at himself.
"Let her track it," Lorcan said. "Nobody touches the smokehouse till she's done."
The commander nodded once.
"Sunrise. Here."
He got in his truck and stayed parked in my yard with the corporal for a long wait.
