find a way to get back to him.
    This thought had no sooner crossed her mind than she noticed that the Yeti was walking through the mountain pass and back into the valley. The blizzard was reaching its full intensity as they entered the valley. All that Gina could see around her was the blinding snow. She wondered to herself that if the valley held both mammoths and the Yeti what other “demons” as Jun-Tuk had called them also lived in the unexplored region?
    Gordon and several of the other grad students ran over to the tossed Sno-Cat to try and help Henry. Henry was still screaming for his wife and trying desperately to free himself from the destroyed vehicle. Gordon kicked in the already-cracked windshield of the Sno-Cat and then he used his knife to cut Henry loose from his seatbelt.
    Henry tumbled out through the open windshield and then he began running in the direction that the Yeti had taken Gina. Rodgers grabbed him and held him in place as he yelled into the panicked man’s ear, “Henry, we will never catch that beast in this storm! Think! Several of the women have come back alive after being with the Yeti for over two weeks! There is every reason to believe that we will get her back alive, but if we head out into this storm unprepared to enter a valley that holds mammoths, a Yeti, and god knows what else, we will all die!”
    Dana came running out into the snow with the radio and receiver. “She threw these too me before she gave herself to the Yeti in order to save Henry. We can track her and communicate with her.” She was silent for a moment. “She specifically said though not to try and take her back from the Yeti unless she called for help. She said that we can’t afford to lose any more lives.”
    Henry took a look around at the gathered people. “Tomorrow, I am going after my wife. Anyone who wants to accompany me is welcome to do so. Anyone who wants to stay back here at camp, you need to start packing up! As soon as I come back with Gina, we are going home!”
    He turned to Rodgers. “Can you help me get the things together that we need to go into the valley with?”
    Rodgers nodded. “Yes! Gordon and I will get started right away!” Most people returned to their barracks as Henry, Gordon, Rodgers, Dana and a handful of grad students started preparing for a journey into the unknown at first light.

Chapter 6
     
    Between the storm, the darkness around her, and the speed at which the Yeti was moving, Gina had no idea how long she had been gone for or how far she had traveled. From the angle at which the Yeti was walking, Gina was fairly sure that the monster was walking on the side of one of the many mountains which comprised the mountain range which circled the valley. Gina’s suspicion that they were walking on the side of the mountain was confirmed when the Yeti turned into a large cave and finally released her from his grip. The Yeti lumbered to the back of the cave where he laid down and quickly fell asleep. When she saw that the Yeti was asleep, Gina immediately thought about trying to escape from the monster but then the reality of her situation set in on her. There was a storm raging outside and she had no idea which direction she should travel in. She also did not have any of the gear required for a solo hike across an uncharted polar valley. She resolved herself to the fact that, for now, her best course of action was to stay with the Yeti. She checked her radio and her transmitter. She was relieved that both of communication devices were fully operational. Gina also reminded herself that the Yeti had returned most of the women that he had taken to their people after a two week period. Since the Yeti had left the valley to come to the camp, she was pretty sure that if she tried to escape, the Yeti would most likely find her. Gina remembered that Jun-Tuk believed that it was the women who placated the Yeti that returned alive. Gina spoke aloud to herself, “So if I am a perfect
