“He had no desire to return to Kyuquot, but he couldn’t delay it any longer. He’d been staying with an old friend, Pete McLintock, for the last couple of days, but to stay any longer would be to seriously overstay his welcome. Leif knew that Pete had been happy enough to see him when he had arrived in Tahsis two days ago, still cringing from that gruesome discovery over at Aktis Island. The man had greeted him warmly, listened to his story, fed him a meal of halibut and crab, and offered him the... use of his couch for a couple of nights, but Pete was at heart a loner. He lived by himself in a small cabin set back in the bush on the outskirts of town, and that was the way he liked it. This morning he had started hinting that two nights were enough, and Leif knew better than to push him. It wouldn’t be fair to Pete, and it would be the end of an old friendship. Besides, it wouldn’t get him anywhere anyhow. It wasn’t only that Pete needed his space. Leif needed to get back home. The fishing resort in Kyuquot would be counting on him to return to work.MoreLessRead More Read Less
