to follow the lead of that savage. We agreed that I would lead this team!”
Henry pulled his arm away from the hunter. “We agreed that you would coordinate the efforts to get the team prepared to head out. I am still in charge of the expedition and Jun-Tuk knows more about what’s in that valley than you do. I am going to trust in him to get us and Gina out of there alive.”
Rodgers shouted at Henry, “If you think that I am going to let the damn Eskimo lead us to our deaths then you are delusional!”
Henry shrugged. “Look Rodgers, I could really use your expertise in there but if don’t want to follow Jun-Tuk’s lead then you can stay here but just remember two things. First, Gina and I are the people who sign the checks, so if you want to stay here that’s your call but I will stop paying you as of today. Also, if neither of us returns from that valley then no one will be signing your checks and you won’t get paid at all. So it may be in your best interest to go into the valley with us to make sure that you get paid when you go home. The choice is totally up to you.”
Henry mounted a snowmobile and Jun-Tuk climbed on behind him. Henry revved the engine and then he started off in the direction of the valley. The rest of the rescue team followed Henry as he drove across the frozen tundra. Rodgers cursed at Henry and then he too climbed onto a snowmobile and drove off in the direction of the valley.
Gina kept her body as compact as possible in Yukon’s grip. She was well aware that were it not for the Yeti’s body heat, even with her thermal gear she would have frozen to death. As she was trapped within the Yukon’s hand enduring both his strength and the bitter cold, she continued to do her best to study the monster. The stamina of the creature was astounding. After fighting the mammoth, Yukon continued to trek across the valley at a fantastic speed. Based on the position of the sun, Gina was fairly sure that they were still heading further south. What she no idea about though was where exactly Yukon was taking her. This thought had no sooner crossed her mind than Yukon once more veered to the base of the mountain range that made up the edge of the valley. Gina thought the Yukon might have been heading for another cave to rest but then she heard a splashing sound coming from the Yeti’s feet. Gina looked down to see a thin stream of water moving across the snow. The Yeti continued to walk through the thin stream until it began to widen and become deeper.
Gina could see steam rising out of the water and she guessed that there must have been a hot stream that kept the water from freezing. She surmised that this stream served as a water source for the animals in the valley. Once the water was deep enough that Yukon could place his entire head in the water he put Gina down on the frozen bank of the stream, fell to his knees, and then he began drinking the life-giving fluid from the stream. Gina realized that she had no idea when she would have water available to her again. She could live for two weeks with minimal food but without water she would die from dehydration in a matter of days. Like the monster next to her, Gina also fell to her knees and took several deep mouthfuls of water.
Gina was drinking her fill when Yukon quickly pulled his head from the stream and began searching the surrounding area. Gina could not see anything but she heard a loud growl that sounded like a cougar. Yukon roared in return and then stepped in front of Gina. Gina’s heart was racing as she peered out from behind the Yeti’s leg. Yukon could see whatever was there but all that Gina could see was the snow. Then she saw a patch of snow suddenly move forward. She focused her eyes to see that it was not the snow itself moving, but rather something that was blending in with the snow. It was at the moment that Gina realized exactly what was moving toward her. She could see a large feline-like body with canine teeth that
