The Maltese Terror

Nick felt the slight jerk. He waved one hand out the window. Then Caleb gave the Dodge a little more gas, slowly building up power so as not to spin the wheels. The tire chains dug into the roadbed, the engine growled, and the Expedition began to inch backward, too. Once it began to move, the effort eased. In just a couple of minutes they had it back up on the road, sitting level again.


After he undid the tow chain and tossed it into the bed, Caleb walked over to the driver’s side of the Expedition. “See that crossroads right down there? You should be able to turn around there without getting off the solid part of the road. I’ll wait here. You can follow me back to the ranch and get your gear. Then I’ll follow you back down to the highway.”
