She only had questions, and no answers.
She frowned as her neck ached, a reminder of her earlier accident.
She should be almost back to Fairbanks by now.
But that wouldn’t be happening. Not tonight.
This whole situation was getting complicated.
She’d come to Alaska for one purpose and one purpose only.
Tonight’s events could derail her plans.
But she couldn’t turn her back on someone who needed help.
She’d never been able to.
And that was what always got her in trouble.

For now.
It was a good thing I’d heard them coming.
I’d left right before they’d arrived. I’d watched them step from their vehicle. Go into Craig’s.

So now I was trapped. It was too cold to wait outside much longer.
I wanted to go back inside and look at the scene again.
I wanted to find those papers!
