Chapter 189

Dante steered the SUV along the winding Hill Country highway. They'd gotten an extremely early start, hoping to get enough information so all of the teams could gather before lunch and decide what their next move should be.

Regan sat beside him with her tablet, charting their journey. So far, between Johnson City and Blanco, they'd marked ten places that provided good opportunities for the devil beast. Dante had pulled off the road each time so Regan could snap a picture with her camera and send it back to the ranch with the coordinates. Randi was manning the computer in Ric's absence, collecting the information from everyone out in the field.

When they cruised out of Blanco County into Gillespie, he was more than ready for fresh coffee and a Danish.

"There's a great bakery in Fredericksburg," he told Regan. "How about we stop there for a few minutes, refuel our bodies and make sense out of the information we've got so far?"

"Sounds good to me."
