Vesna raised her hands slowly. "Fine. I'll carry them." She let them re-strap the sled, smiling and easy, until the rifleman turned to watch the trail. Then she kicked his legs out, grabbed his gun, and bolted up the slope into the dark with the sled bouncing behind her.

Vesna led them on a chase up the pass she knew by heart, then doubled back below them in the storm. By dawn the three were lost and frostbitten on the high slope, calling out, while she walked the cargo down the far side and turned both crates and gunmen over to the border post.
