DAWN SEES WARDEN up the slope at more or less the same moment Warden sees her.
She can tell that he sees her because he slows down. And smiles.
It’s that evil smile again. The real Warden smile.
The smile that says I’ve got you, and I’m going to hurt you.
But something happens at the same time as Dawn sees Warden smile. The same time as Warden begins his slow, steady, victorious descent.
Dawn hears something else, something behind her.
Downslope.
Dawn hears movement.
There’s somebody else on the trail.
