Caleb and Ashleigh made better time than he had anticipated. They were still five miles from Winter, but he wanted to check the communications tower first.
This was part of the treaty shared between the packs; Summer maintained communications and electricity, regardless of war or strife between the packs.
As they approached, Caleb already knew from the smell in the air what they would find inside the tower.
“Is that…” Ashleigh’s words died on her lips as Caleb pushed open the door, and the answer covered the floor in front of them.
Caleb sighed as he pulled out his phone and called to order a repair of the tower and recovery of the bodies.
Beyond the two men lying dead on the ground, their blood pooling beneath them, Caleb could see that the hardware had been damaged. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be a quick fix to get communications back up and running in Winter.
