"Why didn't you stop him? Don't you know that failing to do so can make you liable to arrest as an accessory after the fact?"
"A sheriff and a game warden couldn't stop him."
"He's right," Loring Blade agreed. "We couldn't. Why don't you start your men into the hills?"
"If he left this house," Hausler threatened, "we'll be on his track in two minutes."
He turned and went out, and Ted laughed. Loring Blade swung to face him.
"You feel pretty bitter, don't you?"
"How would you feel?"
"Not too happy," the warden admitted. "Why did you laugh?"
Ted grinned faintly. "Does that trooper really think he, or anyone else, can track Dad?"
"If he does have such ideas," Loring Blade conceded, "he'll soon have some different ones. Nobody can track Al Harkness."
