It appeared, based on the size and shape, to belong to a woman.

A woman had been staying out here?

Duke was fairly certain this killer wasn’t a woman. But he could be wrong.

So just who had been living out here? And where was this person now?

Before he could explore the questions too long, something snapped just outside the window.

He and Ranger weren’t here alone, he realized.

Ranger froze and glanced at him, clearly hearing the noise also.

Was the person lingering outside a friend or foe?

They needed to find out.

CHAPTER 30

Stupid people.

Why couldn’t they just leave things alone?

My life was so much better—so much simpler—before they showed up.

I’d seen those two go into the secluded, rundown cabin.

I’d been watching. I knew what they were thinking, what they were planning.

I knew what the most important thing was. My mission was all that mattered.

If these fools got on my bad side, I wasn’t above killing them also.

Hunger began to stir inside me at the thought.
