“Unless I’m badly mistaken, the exact location of the pass will soon be public property. Perhaps tomorrow by this time, Rand and the two boys will have entered it.”
“Wish I was with them, sergeant.”
“You can go later. Just now I have other work for you.”
“You mean the prisoners?”
“Yes.”
“Want me to take ’em back to Mackenzie barracks?”
“They’ll be safer there,” nodded the sergeant.
“You’re goin’ out after Murky then, eh?”
“No. Rand may have more to do than he’s bargained for. I think I’ll take Sandy here and set out after them. Murky will have to wait. I don’t believe he’ll attempt to escape. He’ll probably stay over at Good Faith for a few weeks longer.”
“Few weeks!” sputtered Malemute. “Why, he ain’t there right now!”
