The climb to Mt. Sun wasn't easy, not even for a strong man like Hawk Monsanto. His way was rather too dangerous as a thick cloud covered his view and the strong wind slammed him now and then against the big hard rocks which he relied on to climb. There were times he had stopped, not because he was tired but because he had lost his sense of direction and the signs that Mario marked on the map didn't come handy as he couldn't rely much on his eyesight right then. However, knowing how bad the weather was and how short Simione's supplies, he went on his way without the slightest thought of giving up.
After three long hours, Hawk stumbled on the part of the mountain where he found an empty backpack. Nearby some human things scattered like a torned raincoat, spoiled food, damaged goods and a shoe with no pair. The shoe looked like it was owned by a woman and so Hawk immediately suspected it was Cat's.
