"Wildfire!" Kris called in vane. He had been missing for two days and Kris was now a total basket case. She and Junior were riding through the meadows near the river and no sign of Wildfire had shown up yet. Matt and Jillian were out looking as well as Pablo and Jean. None of them were having luck.

"Kris, why don't we just get back to Raintree before it gets dark? We don't have enough supplies to stay out here another night," Junior asked as the reached the riverbank.

"I can't leave him out here Junior. It doesn't feel right."

"Kris, he'll be fine."

"What about cougars? Wildfire might not be able to outrun them."

"He's a race horse, Kris. Trust me Wildfire will be okay."
