Chapter 556

• Tripp reached in and grabbed his pack. Shepard Addison asking him to do this personally wasn’t unheard of, but he had to wonder if this missing female was more important than he was told. Not that all females weren’t important—they were, but why have the King ask and not his team leader? Could be he was the closest, but his gut said otherwise, and it was never wrong. Pulling out the map, he opened it on the seat and then checked his phone to see the last location she’d been at.
• He stabbed his finger into the map at the location and then dragged it along the map for a few inches. Mountains were close to where she was last tracked. If she’d gone in that direction to head to the meet-up with the teams, it wasn’t going to be a good time. If she wasn’t just lost and someone did get to her, there were a hundred different ways they could move undetected and vanish, especially with the help of the snow heading that way.
• “Shit.” Folding the map, he stuffed it back in the pack. It was a long drive from where he currently was. So much for his being the closest theory. He’d wanted to be in on the ops to get more of Konner Flores people out. He smirked, remembering how much spunk Terah had when he’d found them. Curiosity had him wondering if they were all that fast and strong. Now he would never know.
