Kari Pierce stared up into the deep shades of the horizon. The giant
sequoias of California loomed overhead in colors of black and dark grey.
The full moon, visible only by its bright aura, crested the mountains. The
sight was tremendous, one she would have loved to enjoy. However, her
time in the park wasn’t for enlightenment or pleasure.
Her time here was for work.
Massive amounts of people camped in various forms, from motor homes
to tents, to hammocks under the open sky. Happy families lounged around
open campfires without a care in the world. Some roasted marshmallows
while others popped popcorn in foil containers. Several children played
with the bear boxes used to place food in so the native black and brown
bears wouldn’t scavenge for food in the middle of the night.
The scent of harmony, relaxation, and the occasional disgruntled man
hung heavy in the air.
None of these were what Kari focused on.
She centered on fear.
Closing her eyes, she tuned out all the sounds of families, of laughter
and focused only on the sense of fright.
Kari’s ears perked and headed north.
The scent of the cloth she purposely pulled deep into her nose earlier in
the day narrowed her course.
Eyes open, she bolted with all four of her legs in the direction the child
appeared to be.
On four legs, Kari could reach the child in half the time of a human. In
wolf form, she could sense not only the child, but also the desire of the man
standing over her.
The taste of his scent sickened her.
She had to hurry. The child wouldn’t be safe for long.
Rain drizzled over the fur covering her body. Still she held onto the
child’s scent, her concentration so fierce, her head started to pound. She
couldn’t let a little thing like rain stop her from getting to the child in time.
Even at eight years old, Kari knew the child would understand the
danger. The little girl would wonder if she’d ever see her loving parents
again.¶
Kari ran faster, the damp ferns and low-lying branches slapped against
her flanks. Shifting course at the last minute, she pressed her nose to the air
and stilled her legs mid-stride.
The small whimper of the child sounded like a scream in Kari’s
heightened awareness.
She would save this child. Or die trying.
Crouching down, Kari eased closer. A twig snapped.
The man shot up in alarm. “Shut up!” he hollered to the child.
A frail blonde-haired girl huddled beneath the little protection her
sweatshirt provided. Her eyes were red and swollen with tears as she
watched the man pace.
Kari studied the surrounding forest, assessing if the man worked alone
or with others. No scent or sound filled the ground other than the child, the
man, and Kari.
