Dead caribou, dozens of them.

So much for the promise that the dam wouldn't harm the wildlife. Bob straightened, walking away. He'd haul a caribou in by snowmobile, determine the cause of death. If he could just prove it...

Click. Bob froze at the unmistakable sound.

Damn, but he was an idiot to have come here alone.

Well, he'd brazen it out. "You're going to shoot a Mountie? They'll hunt you to the ends of the earth."

Silence.

A shot, and a body fell, sliding down the slope.

Above it, Buck nodded to Bob. "They forgot you had a partner."

For now, please comment at the LJ entry.

Oh, werewolves make everything cooler. But I may be biased because I loved your last two werewolf AU stories.

And you made me covers for them, too. \o/

Yeah, if you do write that Bob, Caroline, Buck story I'd love to do a cover for that one too.
