Lori\u2019s blood ran cold as if ice water coursed through her veins and her heart pounded so hard it threatened to burst through her chest. Only one person ever called her that. Even her parents always used her full name \u2013 Abigail. If she was in trouble then it was Abigail Laurie Brownell.<\/p>\n<p>The Great Dane exited a low rumble of a growl. Her left index finger worked its way between the bracelets to the scars on her right wrist. Raised welts from years of cutting and a deep gouge where she\u2019d taken a chunk out of her arm.<\/p>\n<p>This couldn\u2019t be happening. She arranged to meet Wolfgang\u2019s owner near the Chateau Lake Louise to ensure his safe return to him and his home in Fort Mac. People came and went in droves here. The phrase safety in numbers suited this place to a T. No way would she have met a stranger at her apartment in Calgary. Who knew what creeps waited to prey on a single white female? She\u2019d been a victim as a child and into her teens. Not anymore. A steady stream of pedestrians strolled past where they stood. They\u2019d help her if needed. Wouldn\u2019t they?<\/p>\n<p>The person Lori communicated with via text messages and Messenger didn\u2019t come across as the type who would cause such a reaction in their pet. She turned around her movements awkward from an old injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnc \u2026 how?\u201d She stammered, unable to form the words she wanted to say. Her worst nightmare had come true. She thought she put the past well behind her when she finished school and landed a job in Calgary. Moving out of Saskatchewan wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbigail Laurie Brownell. Did you think we\u2019d never find you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy name is Lori Brownlee,\u201d she spat. Those words came out too late. Her momentary sense of bravado disappeared. She had given away her true identity with her first reaction. Gawd, sometimes she was so stupid and trusting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAren\u2019t you just the clever clogs?\u201d he sneered. \u201cI see you still haven\u2019t had that ankle fixed. I offered to take you to the hospital when I found you at the foot of the stairs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of you, I fell down the steps in the first place. I was trying to get away from you, you pervert.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The dog at her side continued to growl, but now the rumblings sounded menacing. Her uncle may have frightened her when she was a child, but not anymore. Yeah right. Her entire body vibrated with fear as his face loomed in front of her and the memories of her unhappy, abusive childhood flooded to the surface.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLori! Lori Brownlee?\u201d\u009d a man\u2019s voice called from behind her.<\/p>\n<p>Afraid to take her eyes off her uncle, she didn\u2019t turn in his direction. \u201cAre you Chris? Christopher Scott?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah. Sorry I\u2019m late. An accident backed the traffic up for miles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Great Dane beside her wagged its tail so hard its entire body shook and tugged on her hand, holding the leash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWolfgang! Come here. boy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Lori released the lead, and the dog left. She couldn\u2019t bring herself to turn away from her uncle, despite wanting to see Wolfgang\u2019s owner. She didn\u2019t trust her uncle now and she shouldn\u2019t have trusted him then. Soon, the Great Dane leaned against her left leg, and a tall man sporting a moustache and beard stood next to the dog.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">* * *<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank you for rescuing Wolfgang. I\u2019d seen clips of him on the news broadcasts. No one else could get near him but you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo problem,\u201d she replied, her eyes still held fast on the man before them. \u201cI\u2019d seen him on the news, too. I tried to team up with the other animal rescue groups, but I was too late. Still, I\u2019m happy I got him out of the danger zone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There was something in her expression. Sadness? She\u2019d probably grown attached to the gigantic dog in the time she\u2019d cared for him. Returning Wolfgang to his owner? No, not that. It was something deeper. Fear? Possible. Of him or the man facing them? Since his arrival, she hadn\u2019t turned and looked at him once.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou okay?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>A barely perceptible nod was the response. Christopher didn\u2019t believe the gesture. Something was amiss. Despite the bright sunshine, a dark cloud of gloom appeared to surround Lori. A breeze caught her blonde-streaked brown hair and blew in her face. When she reached to tuck the errant strand behind her ear, her ice-cold hand brushed against his arm. A scar, visible now that she secured her hair, followed her hairline for approximately two inches. A childhood injury from falling off a bike?<\/p>\n<p>He had quite a few battle scars from his youth, too. Broken bones from playing on the high school football team. Stitches from skateboard accidents and tumbles from bicycles. The worst happened on a night he and his pals, Ron Smith and Nick Jones, spent joyriding in Nick\u2019s father\u2019s car. Nick lost control and the car careened over an embankment. Chris got off lucky because he wore his seatbelt and sat in the back, behind the driver\u2019s seat. The other two were worse off, although they survived. It was hard to say which was worse, the accident, the police involvement or facing his parents after his discharge from the emergency department.<\/p>\n<p>There was a resemblance between Lori and this man \u2014 maybe not enough to be siblings, but family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAren\u2019t you going to introduce me to your friend?\u201d the man asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s get out of here,\u201d Christopher suggested. He draped a protective arm around Lori\u2019s shoulders and they turned and started for the parking lot where Chris left his truck.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019ve not experienced it yet, she likes it rough,\u201d the man yelled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho is that creep?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cM-my uncle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it. I&#8217;d love to know what you think.
