Nora seized the drone from him and powered it up along with the controller that included a small screen. She gave him brief instructions. “I can search from here, and if she’s out there, you can get her.”

She sent the drone up and into the woods. Only the heat signatures of animals came up on the controller screen. The explosion had probably sent them running.

“Where could she be?” Alex asked. “Maybe she’s not in the woods.”

“That helicopter isn’t ours,” Nora said. “My guess is he wanted to take her on it, but she got away and ran into the woods. You were right to get the drone.”

Nora and Alex gasped at the same moment. They spotted the heat signatures of two people. One figure was gaining ground on the other one.

“Where are they headed?” Alex asked.

“Toward the ravine,” Nora said. “She might be trying to get to the zip line. She probably thinks if she could cross it, then she could disable it on the other side.”

Desperation corded his throat. “He’s gaining on her. She won’t make it.”

“Doesn’t matter if she makes it. The zip line is down for the foreseeable future. She can’t get across.” Nora handed the controller off to him. “You might need this while you’re out there. Now, go get my sister.”
