BASALT ANDERSON
{Returning to his cabin, Bas makes a decision...}
Wolf's instincts were in sync with his, and that made the decision easier. Bas would find momma bear and take the baby to her.
After they returned to the cabin, Bas put Kaylie into her temporary crib.
Wolf curled around the drawer again, resuming her duties as primary protector.
Bas gathered Kaylie's things and stuffed them into the purple bag. Then he got out the duct tape and added strips across the drawer until all he could see was Kaylie's eyes peeking out at him.
He put the drawer with Kaylie in it in the backseat and strapped the seatbelt across it. The first thing he'd do when they got to Ash City would be to buy an infant car seat.
Wolf climbed in and sat next to the baby, leaning over to lick the girl's forehead. Kaylie cooed, her lips curling into tiny baby smiles as she delighted in Wolf's attention.
