and slowly turned to find a thousand pound male polar bear standing ten feet away, panting and staring at her. With her white coat and matching pants and gloves, she had no doubt he thought she was a chubby oversized baby seal. His primary food supply. She knew enough about bears to know there was no way she could outrun him. And the gun she’d brought wasn’t going to do much at this close range, even if she could reach it in time. He took a step forward and lowered his head. Crap! This was not how she’d planned to die. Caitlin whimpered and scooted deeper into the snow bank, praying it would somehow protect her. The bear lunged. She threw up her hands in a pathetic attempt to ward off the attack and screamed. There was a loud thud folowed by a roar of anger. Caitlin’s eyes flew open in time to see a silvery white bear flying threw the air towards them. Oh god, now there were two of them. # # #
