The Drop by Jeff Ross Page A

girl in a puffy pink snowsuit. Big mistake.” She blinked a few times. “Those guys are amateurs. They were in over their heads. The guy with the gun dropped it like he’d had enough. Like he’d been waiting for this to happen.”
    I could imagine.
    â€œTaken out by a little girl,” I said.
    â€œLittle girl?” Hope said. “No. He was taken out by an official Backcountry Patroller.” She sat down in the chair beside my bed. She looked very different out of her snow gear. She looked like an actual girl. Enough that I almost forgot how annoying I’d once found her.
    Hope looked out the window at the light rain that was falling on Vancouver.
    I thought for a moment about what to say next. “You know, you were pretty amazing out there.”
    â€œThanks,” she replied. “So were you.”
    â€œWould you actually have shot him?”
    She looked at me as she considered her answer. “You know what? After all we’ve been through? I think I can pretty much do anything now.”
    â€œAnything?” I asked.
    â€œYeah,” she said, looking me right in the eye. “Anything.” And I didn’t doubt her for a second.

Jeff Ross has been hurtling himself down mountains on a piece of fiberglass and hoping for the best for as long as he can remember. He grew up near Collingwood, Ontario, where he learned to ski, snowboard, skateboard and injure himself in fantastic and unique ways. Jeff lives in Ottawa, Ontario, where he teaches English and Scriptwriting for Television and Animation at Algonquin College. He is humored on a daily basis by his wife and two sons. The Drop is his first novel.
