Mara looked worse after that.
Her jaw tightened, and she stopped arguing when I told her to stay directly behind me.
The trail narrowed after that, and the creek noise grew stronger.
The rain had raised the water enough that every crossing required attention.
I started thinking about ambush points because there was no other word for them.
Blind bends, tight rhododendron, places where the trail squeezed between rock and brush.
I hated that my mind had gone there in a national park, on a trail where families carried picnic food and kids asked about salamanders.
But that was the situation.
Someone had attacked a teenage boy, then attacked a ranger, then placed the boy's backpack on the trail.
He was not only hiding, he was still involved with us.
At the next creek crossing, I saw him again.
He was on the far side standing about 30 yards downstream from where the trail crossed the water.
He had rinsed his face, but he was still blinking hard.
The tan cap was gone.
His hair was plastered to his forehead.
He had the knife in his right hand.
He did not wave it around.
He did not shout.
He stood there with his shoulders raised and his eyes partly closed from the spray, watching us through the rain.
I put Noah behind me and told Mara to get low behind the largest rock near the crossing.
