Chapter Two

"There was an avalanche today from Coopers Mountain, one witness claims he saw a teenage boy hike into the area of where the snow fell only minutes before. Officials have been called in to dig up the area, the ID of this boy however has yet to be discovered. In other news." Dr. Brown clicked off the TV and starred worriedly at the clock, it was now 2:20 PM and Ephram had not come back yet.

'What if it was Ephram who was caught in that avalanche?' The doctor thought. 'No, Ephram hates the wilderness. He would rather go someplace crowded that reminds him of New York City, then again if he wanted to be alone.' He began to pace again. Finally he made up his mind to have a sitter come and watch his daughter and wait by the phone, while he joined the search team. He was a doctor, and whoever was down there would most definitely need medical attention.

Upon arriving, he was whisked into the search effort. At least half the small town of Everwood was digging, with shovels and anything else they could find. They had made a good dent in the snow, but had yet to find anyone. Dr. Brown applied himself to his work in order to get his mind off Ephram which was unfortunately impossible.

They had been digging for hours when finally someone yelled.

"I think I found him!" The doctor ran to the man, and saw a shadow of a boy laying in a small cave unconscious, there was a bag casting a shadow on the boys face. Dr. Brown grabbed the bag to get it out of his way and gasped as he got a look at it. He recognized this bag, he noticed it was soaked in blood, before he tossed it behind him and scrambled into the cave.
