Page 234 of Chaos has a Name
Lying there, she caught her breath as the cold summer rain hit her.
What she’d like to do was wait it out, but what she was going to do was put on her big girl panties and walk back toward the site.
AFTERshe got the deer head up to her. There was no way she was leaving that behind.
PASS.
Slowly, she pulled on the vine, and the skull moved up toward her. When she could grab it by the antler, she pulled it through the mouth of the cave and onto her lap.
She.
Was.
Out.
Holy shit but she wanted to weep.
That had been terrifying.
At some point, the adrenaline would crash, and she’d need to break down. Oh, it was most definitely coming, and coming fast.
Only, for now, she wasn’t done.
This was the next hardest part.
She had to keep moving.
There was no way she’d be safe here. There were two of them, and she wasn’t going to do hand-to-hand with anyone armed and cuckoo.
They had her gun, after all.
Screw that.
As she made the trek back to the site, MATE had the topographic hologram up, and she was making her way toward the location.

And she was gone.
Well, that was damn good timing. At least MATE held on long enough to get her pointed in the correct direction.
As she moved through the trees, Elizabeth was acutely aware of the space around her. She kept herself moving, even when she was tired, wet, and cold.
Now, it was about fighting for her kids and spouses.
Walking about fifteen minutes, it was when, off in the distance, she heard her name being called.
Then, nothing.
Had they given up?
Or were they hopefully securing the evidence on the scene so that they could find whoever was behind this?
Following along the cave, but outside of it, she ran parallel with the rocky hill that was actually a mountain. From the look of it, no one had been messing around with it.
Did no one know the cave was there?
