Summary
On their ten year friendship road trip Buck captures the death of his friend on camera. With nowhere to go, he begins a treacherous ascent up the mountain, where the killers and his friends follow not far behind.
"Mr. Buckley," Heinz responded more sharply, sensing his distraction, "there were four dead bodies found at the mountain sight."
"Five," Buck interrupted. He wouldn't let them forget her - let them forget his stupid mistake. "There are five bodies."
Officer Donovan stopped writing. "Are you saying we missed one?" It was the first time he had spoken, and his voice was just as gentle as his face as if the job hadn't broken his compassion yet.
Buck shrugged, wincing as his bruised shoulders - the ones that carried him to safety and survival - screamed in agony. "There were six of us that night." He shuddered at the words that followed, wishing he could take them and the previous days back. "One of them was my friend."
