(Book 3): Extermination Chapter 8Cort Lonesome Heart, NMSeptember 10, 2001 11:52am Cort’s size twelve boot crunched heavily on the dry gravel parking lot. I can’t do this, he thought to himself. I promised myself never again, not after what happened to Wesley.It was a secret he and Billy had promised to take to their graves. No one else knew, not John, or Ben, or even Talon, who had been there that fateful day. Nearly five years after Tommy Turner’s death, Wes had decided to tag along on one of their hunts. No one had noticed him hiding under a stack of blankets in the back of Billy’s old Rambler station wagon.In the middle of the hunt he suddenly appeared. The Maker they had been hunting for three weeks, an old Indian woman that had once been good friends with Talon, had pounced on the opportunity and taken him hostage. She’d ripped a terrible gash across the young boy’s back before they were able to put a crossbow bolt through her dark heart.Wes had fought the poison for nearly twelve hours before it became clear he wasn’t going to make it. His body was just too young and the amount of venom in his system was too much. As a last ditch effort Cort suggested a radical idea, one that he would come to regret for the rest of his life.
