He crouched against the rock wall and looked upward. He was waiting for the first telltale lightness to appear along the cliff rim. Once it did, the advantage he held would shift to Graef. Denise slept at Mallory’s feet. She stirred restlessly now and then, but for the most part she slept without motion as if aware even in sleep of the need to be quiet. Mallory and Denise had moved since he had bandaged his leg. Now he judged that they were less than a hundred feet from the point where the rock wall broke to form the gap. He could not see Graef, but occasionally in the past hour he had heard him. He had heard Thoms once, too. Mallory guessed from the sounds of voices that Thoms had given up the night hunt for Blalock and reported to Graef for further instructions. Since then, the night had been quiet. The first light touched the cliff’s rim. Mallory moved carefully away from Denise. He threaded his way through the tangle of brush and trees to a point where he could see the gap. He stared stupidly out at emptiness.
