Sandra Ball is a young actress who’s career was propelled by appearances in two spy thriller movies. As the result of an accident, she is injured, trapped, and alone in a wooded area. She is rescued but faces a shattered career and a vastly altered life. Will that life be cut short by men more dangerous than the spies she faced on the screen? Sandra is the first of a series of stories with a cast common to the whole series. Other stories in the series include Jan, Karen and Denise, the one that brings them all together.
“Jess is about ten miles from you. I’ll head him out.”
“Maybe we should roll the unit, just in case.”
“I’ll call them and tell them to head out that way. This feels like a hoax. The girl is some actress. Why would she be on a mule?”
“Let me get back to her. Call you in a couple minutes.”
He picked up the other radio and pressed the button. “Sandra. You still here?”
“Yes.”
“I should be within two miles of you.”
As he left off the button he blew the horn.
He pressed the button again. “Did you hear my horn.?”
“No.”
“Just stay put. I am headed down the logging road.”
“I’m only about a mile from the main road.”
He kept driving till the trip counter said 2.0 then turned back to the point that would have been 1.5. If she was here he didn’t see her and the mule. This was probably a hoax. He blew the truck’s horn turned off the motor and wound down the window.
The radio came alive. “I heard a horn.”
“OK. That was me. We have to be close. Don’t key the mic, just yell.”
He heard one yell, then another. She was very close. He grabbed his radio and emergency kit and got out of the truck.
“Call again.”
By now he had a direction. He walked toward the sound and saw a reflection on metal through a bush. He started jogging toward the object. He could see an outline about fifty yards off the road. It was a mule. He started to run toward it. It didn’t look damaged and there was some kind of tent over the driver’s area. This could be a hoax. He was approaching the mule from behind and went to the driver’s side. He sat down his kit and pulled back the poncho to look in. She grabbed his hand and exclaimed, “Thank God you are here.” It was obvious to Jim this was no hoax.
