The Drop (2011)
“The storm was so wild, we could barely open the door, never mind step out. But then around noon, the clouds broke apart and the world suddenly seemed clear and pure. Nothing but deep white powder and high blue skies.
I stood at the doorway looking up at the sky. Our boards were covered in snow. I pulled mine out and brushed it off.
“Where are you going?” Hope asked.
“I don’t know.” I looked at the endless hills and trees around us. “He has to be out here somewhere. He couldn’t just vanish.”
“So..., what? You’re going to ride to the bottom of the mountain? Get help? Save everyone?” she said.
I looked behind Hope into the cabin. Dave was jabbing the buttons on the satellite phone, and Sam was standing over him, looking expectantly at the screen.
“I don’t know what I’m going to do,” I said. “But I’ve got to do something.”
Hope disappeared from the doorway and came back a minute later in her jacket and snow pants.
“Well, a board is going to be useless here,”MoreLess
