The Hike Susi Holliday Novels & Stories

Malachi concludes. Sukie walks to us, standing only a few feet away. "Don't trust her, Chloe. She is back for a reason and it can’t be a good one," She claims. "What about Cypress? Where is he and why is he hiding?" I question. "He is not hiding. He is hunting," Sukie replies, turning around and leaving through the same way she appeared. We stand there for a moment, confused.

"Is that a good idea? To be honest, If the guy liked her, she did not need to do anything. If not, one trip cannot help her. But I am in." So the group six were all settled up for a mountain hike in Husang City which would offer tent site as well as new hiking and biking trails connecting to Goyld Village and existing park trails leading to the Peninsula's tip. They agreed to meet at the start of trailhead, Rebecca would go with her friend from her city, Penny with Kenny as a group and Lisa would take Joseph's car.

"I'm exercising." Lucas laughed. "That lie would only work on a child. Why would you fly a plane over to Mt. Dragonspine just to work out?" Holly hung up, feeling disinterested. Not long after, a bodyguard pointed somewhere down the mountain and said, "Ms. Sinclair, look! Someone's climbing up." Holly thought it was just one of Charles' people. Therefore, she went on reading her book. She looked up only when the group of people arrived at the top.

"We'll embark on a journey to the summit, where we can witness the wonders of nature and feel the exhilaration of reaching new heights." As they ascended higher, their steps growing more determined, Sandy's curiosity got the better of her. "Harrison, how did you discover this hidden gem? It feels like we're uncovering a secret world together." Harrison chuckled, his eyes gleaming with fondness. "Well, Sandy, it was during one of my solitary walks in the wilderness. I stumbled upon this trail, hidden away from the usual paths. There was something about it that called to me, as if it was meant for us to explore together."

Summer giggled in the background; the tension completely dissipated. “So what was this woman here saying about you guys?” Hollis questioned, staring at Sarah, the receptionist, with a curious expression. Summer chimed in, “She said that me and Max belong to the zoo and that Hailey looks ugly to be your girlfriend.” Summer’s words only fueled my anger, but Hollis squeezed my hand reassuringly before turning to Sarah with a smile. “Well, look, someone doesn’t know how to treat people with respect,” he said calmly, his tone firm but controlled. “I think it’s time for a little chat about professionalism.” Sarah’s eyes widened in surprise as Hollis stood up, his presence commanding attention.

She dialed a number she knew off head and called. "It takes great talent and skill to veil great talent and skill. Little Lotus, how is the brighter side of the world?" A crooked old female voice answered the phone. "Only psychopaths and manipulators can achieve hiding their talents and skills Elder Hoshi. Everything is going as planned thank you for asking. Oh, but a Hian Ji attacked me at my home and knows everything about me. I thought I died and my existence was erased with you and the other Elders' help. What's going on?"

"It's being done quietly, but you are the focus of a huge manhunt, ever since the news of your husband's death." "Who's hunting, Liam?" Zach asked. "Everyone, FBI, CIA, local law enforcement," Liam replied. "It's international." "And the same people who killed Mr. Kumms and have tried to kill Susan," Krista said with some heat. "I'm sorry, but you are?" Liam asked. "Krista Hill," she replied. "Zach?" Liam asked. "She's a friend, Liam," Zach smiled.

Reese at this time was pulling in behind the parked SUV and they all began getting out. “Good eyes.” Reese says to me as he walks up looking into the SUV too and adds, “It’s definitely Christophers. They must have gone on foot from here.” Reese then began to look around and found their tracks and said, “They went this way.” The hike was becoming brutal as the wet leaves beneath my feet made me slip a few times but thankfully Reese had hold of my hand keeping me upright. I would have loved to have shifted into my wolf so that I had better traction, but Sarah and Marian weren’t wolves, so Reese, Ethan, and myself stayed in human form.

"Rose? What did you do?" Rose started to sob, saying, "Aunt Kristen, I really don't know anything. Susan suddenly came to my door last night, claiming I conspired with her to hire a killer to murder Summer. Isn't that just ridiculous?" Susan said quickly, "It's true, Kristen! It was Suzanne who gave me the hitman's number. She also encouraged me to go after Ms. Hartford!" "You're lying!" Rose shouted. "Kristen, just look! This is proof that she snuck into the hotel I was staying at that night!" Susan pointed to the screen.
